PayPal
You will be prompted to provide the following:
- Email
- You can use any email address to activate PayPal. It doesnât have to be your PayPal business email.
- A PayPal activation link will be sent to the email you provide. This link is required to inform PayPal that you are authorizing Adyen to process transactions on your PayPal account.
- Please note, the activation link will expire in 7 days. Ensure you complete the process within this time frame.
- Enable separate Authorisation and Capture (opt in)
- Make sure to select the same capture flow that is configured on PayPal's side:
- Direct Capture (SALE) is the default configuration. The payment is authorized and captured immediately â i.e. if the shopper's funds to cover the payment are retrieved during the same transaction session. This is recommended, as this flow reduces the risk of captures failing (per PayPalâs authorization and honor period).
- Authorize & capture (AUTH), the payment is first authorized; capture can occur immediately or separately, at a later time.
- Make sure to select the same capture flow that is configured on PayPal's side:
- Enable PayPal recurring (opt in)
- Please contact PayPal support prior to enabling this.
