Three steps to a running PayPal workflow

The builder keeps the order you think in: connect the app, choose what starts the workflow, add what should happen.

Connect
Authorise PayPal once
Add a PayPal connection under Connects and reuse it in every workflow. Credentials stay in your WordPress database.
Trigger
Pick what starts it
Start from a PayPal event, or from a WordPress event, a form, a webhook, a schedule or any of the 918+ integrations, then capture a sample so later steps can map real fields.
Act
Add PayPal steps and logic
Chain PayPal actions with Router, Filter, Iterator and Delay, test each step against captured data, then switch the workflow on.
