How to setup PayPal for accepting payments?

Yapsody doesn't have own Payment Gateway but you can link your Business PayPal account with Yapsody to process payments.

Note: When you use PayPal to collect payments, PayPal automatically deducts their payment processing fee before depositing the funds into your PayPal account. You'll also be collecting the  Yapsody Processing & Flat fee for which we'll invoice you for at the end of each month.

• Set up a Premier or Business PayPal account.

If you haven't already set up a Premier or Business account with PayPal.  Yapsody requires a premier or business account to link PayPal to your event, so if you already created a PayPal account directly to confirm your account is set up.

Tip: Be sure to verify that your PayPal account is created before you start selling tickets. You'll receive a confirmation email from PayPal, and you can also contact PayPal directly to confirm your account is set up.

Pro Tip: You'll want to enable Express Checkout so attendees aren't required to pay with a PayPal account and can check out as guests.
