# Using PayPal with Upmind

> Configure PayPal with ease

[<u>PayPal</u>](https://paypal.com/) is a popular payment method. It provides a range of payment solutions, from simple payments to subscription-based models. Upmind supports multiple PayPal integrations, allowing flexibility for both businesses and clients.

We recommend **PayPal Billing Agreements** for most use cases, as it supports both one-time and recurring transactions, regardless of reference transaction settings.

## **Supported PayPal services in Upmind**

Each of these services comes with different functions, APIs, and credentials for integration. You can enable multiple PayPal options simultaneously. Each PayPal integration has unique credentials and API requirements.

**PayPal Subscriptions** can be mapped for existing clients with subscription IDs to record incoming payments, but do not support new subscription creation.
