Adding Paypal to your chatbot
Accept In-bot Payments with PayPal.
The SnatchBot platform provides robust administrative features and enterprise-grade security that comply with all regulatory mandates with the new capability of accepting in-bot payments via PayPal. Bot admins can complete transactions anytime from anywhere in the world. SnatchBot does not personally store any payment details; all sensitive data is passed securely to PayPal, where it is stored and used only to process payments.
The application and connection process is quick and effortless; it takes only minutes to test the function and begin accepting in-bot payments. When a customer enters payment details with a bot, their information is saved in PayPal's system, which is well-known for its unparalleled security. The next time the user wants to make a transaction with that bot, their information will already be available.

Once the Paypal Client ID and PayPal secret have been added, you will be automatically authorized and will see the Payment option displayed in the Payment button in the Text and Gallery cards:
