PayPal
PayPal lets customers pay with PayPal accounts (and related methods where integrated). CMP uses PayPal when the gateway is active for the branch and currency.
Provider: paypal.com
| Configure in CMP | Settings → Billing Setup → Payment Setting / Payment Provider |
| Sandbox | Provide PayPal REST Client ID / Secret — Prerequisites |
| Payment modes | Typically prepaid top-up; confirm postpaid autocharge with StackConsole |
What PayPal is used for in CMP
| Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Prepaid | Customer chooses PayPal for wallet top-up when enabled |
| Postpaid | Only if CMP integration supports recurring/variable charges for PayPal and Has Autocharge is set |

Has Autocharge
Yes / No (when applicable). Enables postpaid auto-charge for this provider in CMP.
Enabling Has Autocharge only turns the feature on at the application layer. The payment gateway must also support autocharge natively — typically automatic charging of saved credit cards for recurring payments with variable amounts.
Confirm native support with the gateway vendor and StackConsole before using this gateway as a postpaid default. See Payment Gateways — postpaid requirement.
