Integration with Paypal

With PayPal integration, your attendees will be able to complete their ticket purchases using PayPal from the Registration form, Website, or My Account page.

This article will guide you on how to prepare and integrate your PayPal account with InEvent.

To set up your PayPal account for integration with InEvent, complete the following steps, using the Sandbox mode as an example:

1. Log into the PayPal Developer Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Apps & Credentials.
3. Click on Create App.

1. Enter the details of your new app.

• App name: Identifier for your InEvent company or event name.
