The OnceHub connector for PayPal allows you to collect payments as an integral part of your booking process. To set up the connector, all you need to do is connect your PayPal account and configure payment settings. Once that's done, OnceHub takes care of all payment activities for you in an automated and secure manner.

In this article, you'll learn how to test transactions before introducing payment integration to your Customers.
