This article explains how to setup the PayPal Payments Pro payment gateway with GetPaid. 

Overview

PayPal Payments Pro is a popular online payment solution for eCommerce stores. It supports multiple currencies and can be integrated with GetPaid with the help of our PayPal Payments Pro Payment Gateway extension within minutes. 

Settings Overview

Once you have signed up for a PayPal Payments Pro account, head to GetPaid > Settings > Payment Gateways > PayPal Pro Payments.
