PayPal Integration
Accept payments for paid submissions with PayPal — the checkout your customers already know and trust, available in 200+ countries with both one-time and recurring billing. Connect your own PayPal Business account and keep 100% of your revenue.
Why PayPal?
- Trusted everywhere — "Can I pay with PayPal?" is a question your listers already ask. Offering it removes a real checkout objection.
- Global reach — PayPal accepts buyers in 200+ countries, well beyond where cards alone convert.
- You keep 100% — connect your own PayPal Business account; Directify takes no cut.
- No card forms — buyers approve on PayPal's hosted, PCI-compliant checkout. You never touch card data.
Key Features
- One-time payments and subscriptions for directory submissions.
- You define your plans in Directify — name, price, currency and billing interval. PayPal has no separate product catalog to maintain; we create what's needed behind the scenes.
- Hosted approval — visitors complete payment on PayPal's secure checkout page.
- Live & Sandbox modes — validate the entire flow with PayPal sandbox credentials before charging real money.
- Automatic webhook tracking — order capture and the full subscription lifecycle (activated / updated / cancelled / expired) keep listing status in sync automatically.
How to Set Up
- Create (or log into) a PayPal Business account at paypal.com.
- In the PayPal Developer Dashboard → Apps & Credentials, create a REST API app and copy its Client ID and Secret (choose Live or Sandbox to match how you want to test).
- In Directify, go to Monetize → Payment Providers, pick PayPal, choose the mode, and paste your Client ID and Secret.
- Click "Connect & Set Up Webhook" — Directify authenticates with PayPal and registers the webhook automatically.
- Add your plans below (one-time or recurring) and Save.
- Enable Paid Submissions and you're live.
How It Works
- Users pick a plan on your directory's payment page.
- They approve the payment on PayPal's hosted checkout.
- PayPal notifies Directify via webhook — one-time payments are captured and the listing moves into your approval queue; subscriptions activate automatically.
- Renewals, cancellations and refunds keep the listing status in sync.
Give your listers the checkout they already trust — in more countries than cards alone can reach.
