# How to integrate PayPal
[PayPal](https://www.paypal.com) can be connected to B2CORE **only** through [PSS](/integrations/payment-systems.md#payment-system-service-pss), with support for deposits and withdrawals.
Follow the instructions below to configure the PayPal connections and set up the deposit and withdrawal methods in the B2CORE Back Office. These instructions correspond to the [General procedure](/how-to-articles/manage-payment-methods/how-to-add-deposit-and-withdrawal-methods-through-pss.md) for adding methods for PSS-supported payment systems, but include details specific to PayPal.
{% hint style="info" %}
Before proceeding with the instructions, you must have signed up for PayPal and have an active account.
{% endhint %}
## Configure connections to PayPal
If you plan to use PayPal for both deposits and withdrawals, you must configure two separate connections: one for deposits and another for withdrawals.
To configure a connection to PayPal:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In the B2CORE Back Office, navigate to **System** > **External connections**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **+Create** in the upper-right page corner.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
On the **Create connection** page, fill in the following fields:
* In the **Name** field, enter a name for the connection. The name must be unique and may only contain Latin letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores (for example, `Deposits_PayPal` or `Withdrawals_PayPal`).
* In the **Caption** field, enter a caption that will be applied to the connection in the Back Office.
* In the **Provider** dropdown, select:
* **PaymentSystemDeposit** — to add a connection that will be used for a deposit method.
* **PaymentSystemWithdrawal** — to add a connection that will be used for a withdrawal method.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In the **Driver** dropdown that appears, select **PayPal**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In the **Credentials** section that appears, configure the PayPal-specific settings:
* In the **API base URL** field, specify `https://api-m.paypal.com`.
* In the **Client ID** field, enter the ID of the REST API app that you created in your PayPal account.
* In the **Client secret** field, enter the client secret associated with that app.
To find your client ID and secret, sign in to your PayPal account and navigate to **My Apps & Credentials** in the main menu. On the **Live** tab, select your app to view and copy the credentials.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **Save** to create the connection.
The **PayPal** connection for deposits or withdrawals will appear in the list of external connections.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Check the connection status.
If the connection is inactive (**No** is displayed in the **Enabled** column), click the **Edit** button to open the connection details and set the **Enabled** dropdown to **Yes**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **Save** to apply the changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
If you need to support both deposits and withdrawals via PayPal, follow the same instruction to create a new connection for the other operation.
## Add a deposit method through PayPal
To add and set up a method for making deposits through PayPal:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In the B2CORE Back Office, navigate to **System** > **Deposit system** > **Deposit methods**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **+Create** in the upper-right page corner.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
On the **Create a deposit method** page, fill in the following fields:
* In the **Name** field, enter a name for the method. The name must be unique and may only contain Latin letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.
* In the **Caption** field, enter a caption for the method. This caption will be assigned to the method in the Back Office and will be visible to clients in the B2CORE UI.
* In the **Provider** dropdown, select **PaymentSystemDeposit**.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
After selecting **PaymentSystemDeposit**, the following fields appear:
* In the **Available account currencies** dropdown, select one or more currencies. Deposits through PayPal will be available to accounts denominated in the selected currencies.
* In the **Driver** dropdown, select **PayPal**.
* In the **Connection** dropdown, select the previously configured [PayPal connection for deposits](#configure-connections-to-paypal).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In the **Configuration** section that appears, configure the following parameter:
* In the **Amount type** dropdown, select how the final deposit amount will be calculated:
* **Net amount** (the default option) — the amount received by the broker after PayPal transaction fees are deducted. If no commission is set for the method in B2CORE, this net amount will be deposited to the client’s account. If a commission is set, it will be deducted from the net amount, and the client will receive a smaller amount. In both cases, the broker doesn't incur any losses.
* **Gross amount** — the full deposit amount before PayPal transaction fees are deducted. If no commission is set for the method in B2CORE, the broker will receive less than the gross amount due to PayPal fees and will have to cover the difference, resulting in a loss.
For more details on setting commissions, refer to [How to configure commissions for deposit and withdrawal methods](/how-to-articles/manage-payment-methods/how-to-configure-commissions-for-deposit-and-withdrawal-methods.md).
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **Save** to create the deposit method.
The **PayPal** deposit method will appear in the list of deposit methods.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click **Edit** to enter the method details and complete the following fields:
* On the **Settings** tab, use the **Group** dropdown to select one or more groups where the method should be included.
* In the **Icon** field, specify `paymethod-paypal` to display the [predefined icon](/integrations/payment-systems.md) for the PayPal deposit method in the B2CORE UI. To use a custom icon, specify the URL of the image to be displayed.
* Check the method status.
If the method is inactive (**No** is displayed in the **Enabled** field), activate it by setting the **Enabled** dropdown to **Yes**.
* Add the needed currencies on the **PS Currencies** tab. To enable the method to process deposits in a specific currency, ensure it is added on this tab (for the tab description, refer to [Deposit methods](/back-office-guide/system/deposit-system.md#details)).
* If needed, configure commissions for the method on the **Commissions** tab (for details, refer to [How to configure commissions for deposit and withdrawal methods](/how-to-articles/manage-payment-methods/how-to-configure-commissions-for-deposit-and-withdrawal-methods.md)).
