Note
This article only applies if you use our PayPal integration to collect payments from your Customers. If you have any questions on how we bill you as a OnceHub Customer, go to the Account billing article.
To connect the OnceHub User app to your PayPal account, you must connect to PayPal and grant permissions to OnceHub to run specific transactions via the PayPal API. OnceHub communicates with the PayPal API to charge Customers for bookings, issue refunds via OnceHub, and capture transactions in OnceHub invoicing and Revenue reports.
Note You can reduce administrative overheads and align invoices with your branding requirements by customizing the invoice sent to Customers when payment is collected or refunds are processed via OnceHub. Learn more about customizing the Invoice settings
