Step 2: Enter PayPal Account Details
Once PayPal is enabled:
- Enter your PayPal email address (where payments will be received).
- Select your preferred currency (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP).
- If using a PayPal Business Account, consider enabling Instant Payment Notification (IPN) for real-time updates on transactions.

Step 3: Configure Payment Options
Customize the booking payment process based on your needs:
- Set a deposit amount (full payment or partial deposit).
- Define the payment deadline.
- Customize checkout messages and email confirmations to inform customers about their transactions.
Step 4: Test the PayPal Integration
Before going live, test the setup to ensure everything works smoothly:
- Enable Sandbox Mode in the PayPal settings within WP Booking System.
- Use PayPal Developer Accounts (sandbox.paypal.com) to simulate transactions.
- Complete a test booking and verify if the payment is processed correctly.
💡 Reminder: Disable Sandbox Mode after testing to start accepting real payments.
Step 5: Go Live and Accept Payments
Once tested, you’re ready to start accepting PayPal payments. Monitor transactions in both WP Booking System and your PayPal account to ensure smooth processing.
