If you have a dropshipping store and you would like to link it to your PayPal account, we’ll explain how to do so in the following steps. If the steps or screenshots in this post don’t match those on your store, you probably have a previous version of the Paypal module, check this post.
To configure your PayPal module and synchronise it to your online dropshipping store simply follow these steps:
-
To set up the PayPal module, first of all create a Business PayPal account (professional). Once you have the account, follow these steps.
-
Log in to your admin panel and click on Modules > Modules and Services > Installed Modules. Type PayPal in the search engine.
-
Click on the Configure PayPal module button.
-
You’ll see the following screen, and you’ll need to configure the two tabs: Settings and Products.
Firstly, configure the “Settings” tab, leaving the option deactivated as shown in the image above.
Next, you’ll have to go to the Products tab. If you want to configure only the payment through PayPal, click “Activate” in the PayPal section.
- When clicking “Activate”, a PayPal window will open, in which we must enter your email and country.
- Next, you will be asked to log in or create an account (if you have not done so in the first step).
- You must give your authorization for Prestashop to use your API credentials and create the integration with PayPal.
A confirmation message will appear. Go back to Prestashop.
- Finally, in the configuration screen, check that you have the options configured as shown in the following image.
When you return to Prestashop, in the PayPal module, instead of “Activate” you will see “Modify” in the same option that you have activated.Check that Paypal is enabled in all desired countries and areas with the following link. - Once you have set up PayPal, it will appear as a payment method in your store. It will be as follows:
- In the case of this image, we have configured both PayPal and credit card. That’s why we see the two options as payment methods. In the case of just choosing PayPal, we would only see that option.
