PayPal's API covers three quite different jobs, which often get mixed up:
For more detail, read the PayPal API integration guide.
Not included: your PayPal business account, the Payouts approval itself (I'll guide you through it), PayPal's fees, a standard WooCommerce PayPal checkout (use the plugin), and full marketplace onboarding through PayPal Commerce Platform, which is quoted separately.
Payment is 50% to start and the balance on completion. For what drives the price, read what a PayPal integration costs.
I built the PayPal Payouts pipeline for ReGraded, my trade-in platform, which pays customers for the devices they send in. Getting the statuses right mattered: an early version treated an unclaimed payout as paid, which would have told customers they'd been paid when the money hadn't reached them. It was caught in testing and fixed so that only a confirmed, succeeded payment can mark a trade as paid. That's the level of care money movement needs.
Send a short written spec by WhatsApp, text, email or the form: whether you need payouts, subscriptions or a checkout, and what platform it connects to. I'll reply within 24 hours with a quote.
For a normal WooCommerce checkout, yes, and I'll tell you so. A custom build is for payouts to lots of people, subscriptions that control access, Pay Later set up properly, PayPal alongside Stripe, or a platform that isn't WooCommerce.
PayPal charges its own fees on payouts and on payments you receive, paid directly to them. The build price covers the integration only.
Yes. PayPal needs a separate approval for live payouts, applied for in your PayPal developer dashboard. It usually takes a few days, so apply before the build starts. The sandbox works straight away.
PayPal Payouts sends money to people's PayPal accounts, so they need one. The Revolut Business API pays UK bank accounts directly. Use PayPal when your recipients expect it.
Yes, in the custom checkout tier. Customers choose either, and both feed the same order system and webhook handling.
Payouts takes about a week, subscriptions 1–1.5 weeks and custom checkout about 2 weeks. Payouts also depend on how quickly PayPal approves live access.
