# How to Add PayPal Pro (REST) as a Payment Method

> You will know How to Add PayPal Pro (REST) as a Payment Method in this article. As some people still use REST, it is useful for them and you. Check now.

**PayPal Pro (REST)** is an integration using the **REST API**. While Upmind’s current implementation uses PayPal’s deprecated **V1 API**, an update is planned.

In this guide, we will set up PayPal Pro (REST). You will require:

* A PayPal account

* An Upmind account

<Note>
  Please make sure this feature is enabled on your PayPal account. You may need to contact PayPal or check their [guide](https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/).
