Paypal Payment Integration

Paypal Payment Integration

Super Admins and Admins can enable payments via PayPal. Managers & Staff will not have access to this information.

Zoho Bookings facilitates service enablers or service providers to collect payments through PayPal.

Payments through PayPal can be set up by following the steps below:
