How to Add Paypal Pro (REST) as a Payment Method

PayPal is a popular payment method. In this guide, we set up PayPal Pro (REST), which is still used by some users. Please note, that our current implementation of PayPal REST is based on the deprecated V1 version. We plan to update this in the near future.

You will require:

1. A PayPal account
2. An Upmind account
