With PayPal integration, you can charge your attendees for tickets. Your attendees will be able to purchase tickets via the registration form, website or my account page.

You will need a Paypal developer account and have a business account with PayPal to get your "Client ID" and "Client Secret" information to integrate with InEvent. To access the PayPal Developer Dashboard, create a PayPal developer account here and for PayPal visit PayPal.com.

How do I link my PayPal account with InEvent?

There are two ways to link your PayPal account with InEvent, Company Level which is the preferred process and then Event Level.

Company level

To link your PayPal account with the platform, click on your company logo in the top left of your page.

On the menu to the left side, scroll down to the Integrations field and click on PayPal.

In the screen to the right, enter your Client ID and Client Secret into the designated fields.
