Connect PayPal to your Shopify or Shopify Plus store to speed up checkout, support PayPal Wallet and Pay Later, and reduce friction for mobile shoppers.
• PayPal is added to Shopify as a payment provider, and checkout requests are routed to PayPal for authorization and, where applicable, capture.
• PayPal transaction IDs are stored on the Shopify order and mapped to payment records, enabling traceability across payment, refund, and payout flows.
• Payment status updates (authorized, captured, voided, failed) are reflected on the order timeline, with state transitions handled per Shopify’s payment model.
• Refunds initiated in Shopify create corresponding refund calls to PayPal, and refund IDs and amounts are written back to the order for reconciliation.
• Disputes and chargebacks are linked to the original PayPal transaction, with key case identifiers recorded against the related Shopify order when available.
• Webhook-style callbacks and polling-based status checks handle asynchronous updates, with idempotent processing to prevent duplicate state changes.
• Events and errors are logged with timestamps and correlation IDs so mismatched amounts, partial captures, and refund failures can be traced to a single order.

Common causes include account restrictions, currency rules, and app conflicts; we diagnose with Shopify logs, PayPal account settings, and test transactions.
