Configuration to settlement
How PayPal fits the Invoice Crowd payment boundary
Connection, customer checkout and final settlement are separate stages. Read the status and limitations before showing the method on a live invoice.
Connect the merchant account
Credentials and mode stay tied to the selected business.
Confirm provider eligibility before rollout
PayPal controls merchant availability, supported currencies, fees and account eligibility.
- Merchant country and account
- Invoice and settlement currency
- Provider fees and review
Understand the customer path
Availability is evaluated before a customer enters checkout.
Use the supported one-time flow
PayPal Orders is available only when the invoice currency is in the server-owned supported list. The completed capture is fetched and verified.
- Server-owned amount
- Bound invoice allocation
- Provider-controlled payment step
Read the recurring-payment boundary separately
Existing legacy Billing Agreement renewals and lifecycle handling remain active when the exact provider bindings exist.
- One-time and recurring differ
- Existing bindings may be compatibility-only
- Retired creators stay unavailable
Verify before recording money
The final local state follows provider evidence, not the browser.
Match the commercial record exactly
Completed capture or sale, bound invoice, exact amount and currency, merchant account/mode and stable payment identity.
- Merchant account and mode
- Allocation, amount and currency
- Successful provider state
Keep the current limitation visible
The email-only PayPal Standard browser return is not payment proof and stays manual-review only.
- No inferred settlement
- Pending stays pending
- Mismatch fails closed

Customer result
A provider screen or browser return is a locator, not sufficient settlement proof.

Retries
Durable attempts and stable provider identities prevent an uncertain response from becoming an unbounded duplicate payment.
-
Provider fees
Gateway fees, exchange costs and settlement timing come from the merchant agreement, not the Invoice Crowd subscription.
-
Alternative gateways
Configure another active provider when this gateway does not support the merchant, customer, currency or collection model.
