# Paypal Integration with FluentBooking

FluentBooking makes it easy to integrate PayPal as a payment gateway, enabling the acceptance of online payments. By offering PayPal as a payment option, you can provide a secure and convenient checkout experience for your customers. 

This integration allows you to accept payments globally, ensuring secure transactions with PayPal’s trusted infrastructure. 

> The PayPal Payment feature is only available in FluentBooking Pro. You’ll need the [FluentBooking Pro](https://fluentbooking.com/pricing/) plugin to access this feature.

## **Enable PayPal Payment**

> Before proceeding, make sure the main global [Payment Module](https://fluentbooking.com/docs/how-to-take-payment-in-bookings/#0-toc-title) is enabled from the **Payment** **Setting**.

Go to the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to **FluentBooking > Settings**, and select **PayPal**. Now, check on the **Enable PayPal Payment for Booking Payment** to enable the PayPal Payment option. 

**Payment Label**: You can customize the text your clients will see on the booking form. The default is (Pay with PayPal).

**Payment Mode:** Here, you will see two Payment Modes. 

- Sandbox Mode: Only for testing purposes. 
- Live Mode: Take Live payment for your events.

**PayPal Email:** Here, you just need to give your PayPal business email address only. 

**Disable PayPal IPN Verification:**If you are unable to use Payment Data Transfer and your payments are not being marked as complete, then toggle to **Disable PayPal IPN Verification**. Enabling this option forces the site to use an alternative verification method, which is slightly less secure but ensures that purchases are processed and marked as complete.

## **Configure PayPal Payment for Booking Forms**

Once PayPal is enabled, the next step is to configure it in your booking forms. 

Go to **FluentBooking > Calendars**select the booking event form you want to PayPal, and click on the **Edit** button. 

Now, select **Payment Settings** from the left sidebar and check the **Enable this event as Paid and collect payment on booking** checkbox.

For the **Checkout Method**, choose the **Use Native Payment Method by FluentBooking** option.

Next, check the box for **Enable PayPal Payment Method** to activate PayPal as your payment option.

In the **Booking Payment Item** section, you can set the payment item's name and price. Simply enter the **Name** and **Price** in the dedicated fields. Click on the **Add More Items** button if you want to add more items. 

Finally, click the **Save Settings** button to save your changes.
