PayPal is a faster and softer way to pay and get paid online. This allows members to send money along with out-sharing financial information, with the flexibility to pay using their account balances, bank accounts, credit cards, or promotional financing.
In order to collect your invoice payments through PayPal, configure PayPal Payment gateway in the Invoices App. Once configured, your customers can pay online, using the PayPal option found in their invoice.
