The workflow

Manage PayPal invoicing alongside WordPress

For service businesses, the work on a WordPress site often ends with an invoice or a recurring billing plan. The PayPal integration brings those billing tasks into the WPOS conversation while PayPal remains the system that owns the payment records.

How it works

From connection to a checked result

  1. 01

    Prepare your account

    A PayPal account, and the credentials PayPal issues for it. PayPal is not a one-click connector, so you supply your own credentials rather than signing in through a popup. Decide which sites the credential should serve before you open the dialog, because that is the first thing it asks. Know which PayPal account you mean. Agencies often hold several, and these actions create invoices and manage subscription plans against a live account.

  2. 02

    Connect PayPal

    Choose Set up on the PayPal row in Settings → Connectors. Select whether the credentials apply to this site or your account, then use the embedded setup guide to provide the values PayPal requires. Save and connect.

  3. 03

    Describe the WordPress workflow

    Create a PayPal invoice for this agreed project scope and show me the invoice details before I send it to the client.

  4. 04

    Verify the result

    Confirm that the invoice belongs to the right PayPal account and review the recipient, currency, line items and total.

Read the setup guide

Connect PayPal to WPOS with your own credentials. Work with invoices, subscription plans and billing templates alongside your WordPress site.

Choose Set up on the PayPal row in Settings → Connectors. Select whether the credentials apply to this site or your account, then use the embedded setup guide to provide the values PayPal requires. Save and connect.

PayPal uses credentials supplied through its setup panel rather than managed sign-in. Connecting it does not automatically add a payment gateway to your WordPress or WooCommerce checkout.

Correct behaviour, not a fault. PayPal has no managed authorization in WPOS, so it asks for credentials before it can connect anything.

Costly here, because PayPal actions create invoices and manage subscription plans on a live account. Disconnect, then reconnect with the credentials for the right account.

Treat them as compromised. Revoke them in PayPal, issue replacements, and reconnect. Disconnecting in WPOS does not revoke anything on PayPal's side.
