Adding PayPal as a payment processor

While Odoo by default only includes Wire Transfer, the framework is modular and can be extended with additional payment methods.

Note

One of the most popular e-commerce payment processors, PayPal can be quickly installed and integrated into your Odoo e-commerce system.

We install a PayPal payment processor a little differently because it is not a full application, but a module. You still go to setting and local apps, but you will want to uncheck the Apps filter from the search.

After clearing the Apps filter, simply type in PayPal and you will see the standard Install button:

Once you click Install, the screen will refresh and you will be left on the Apps screen with the apps filter back in place. We now need to go to the Website Admin menu and choose the Payment Acquirers option in the eCommerce section to bring up the list of payment acquirer. You will see the PayPal provider in that list.

Tip

As you can see it is possible to install a Payment Acquirer though...
