PayPal API

PayPal is an international electronic payment platform. It is often used by online stores that sell goods abroad. Opening an account and receiving payments to it is very simple. The system also has an open API for integrations and development https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/. It is these two factors that have led to its popularity among users around the world.

Accessing the PayPal API

The Application Programming Interface allows the PayPal software to interact with the online store. The data is transmitted over the HTTP protocol. PayPal provides two ways to transfer data: NVP and SOAP.

This solution allows the online store:
- accept payments by cards and electronic means in a PayPal wallet;
- connect PayPal to CRM, analytics services and conveniently view data in one interface;
- automatically receive payment notifications in Telegram and send buyers information about a successful transaction, sending an order for sending via SMS, messenger or email if PayPal is integrated with these services;
● upon receipt of payment information, automatically change the status of the order and transfer information and documents to the delivery service for shipment.

These are just some of the possibilities that can be implemented using the PayPal API. Developers can perform complex relationships and configurations that allow for non-standard tasks. Of course, this will require an investment of time and money.

But if your online store is tasked with integrating PayPal with various services, applications, as well as regular automatic data updates between them, try the ApiX-Drive online connector for free. It allows you to "make friends" PayPal with any systems available on the platform in 5 minutes.
