PayPal

PayPal

PayPal is the second-most-common B2C payment method internationally, after cards. The payments app ships PayPal Settings for both Express Checkout and standard PayPal payments.

When to use it

  • Global B2C — customers outside the EU often default to PayPal.
  • Quick refund path — PayPal refunds are typically faster than card refunds.
  • Buyer protection — some customers will only pay if they can use PayPal's buyer-protection scheme.

For Dutch B2C, iDEAL via Mollie dominates; PayPal is a useful secondary option.

Settings

Open PayPal Settings in the awesomebar. Required:

You'll also need to set up an IPN listener URL in PayPal's portal pointing to ERPNext's webhook endpoint.

Workflow

Customer clicks pay link → PayPal Express Checkout → customer approves → PayPal IPN fires → ERPNext creates Payment Entry.

Prilk support

Same as Stripe — upstream-maintained by Frappe, we treat it as standard ERPNext functionality.
