Connect PayPal
Revively can take online payments through your own PayPal Business account using PayPal wallet, Pay Later, and guest card fields on the same checkout page.
Connect your account
- Go to Settings → Methods → Providers and open the PayPal card.
- Click Connect PayPal and sign in to an existing Business account or create one.
- Grant the requested permissions so Revively can create and capture orders on your behalf.
- When connected, enable PayPal and optionally set it as your default online provider if you also use Stripe or Square.
What you can do
- Take online payments on staff invoices and portal checkout (items, packages, events, courses, booking deposits).
- Offer PayPal wallet and Pay Later where PayPal enables them for your region.
- Offer guest card fields when PayPal approves Advanced Card Processing for your account (wallet checkout works sooner).
What PayPal does not cover here
- Platform subscription billing (Revively plan) stays on Stripe.
- Memberships, saved cards, and payment-plan auto-charge stay Stripe-only.
- In-person terminal payments are not available through PayPal in Revively.
Platform fees
Invoices that include ticket or application fees send matching PayPal partner fees when your connection includes the partner-fee permission. If fees cannot be collected, checkout fails with a clear message instead of silently dropping the fee.
Security
PayPal REST secrets stay on the server. Revively stores only public merchant metadata (merchant id, email, readiness flags) - not your PayPal password or client secret.
