PayPal

Contents

PayPal is handled by Khaos Control as a type of credit card (in that payments go straight into your PayPal account, without you needing to bank them first); for that reason "PAYPAL" does not exist as a payment type in Khaos Control.

PayPal transactions in Khaos Control are either handled via your Opayo integration, or via a direct integration with PayPal. In both cases, only authorised / completed PayPal transactions can be imported into Khaos Control, as this form of PayPal transaction does not support 'Customer Not Present' payments. However, it is possible to refund such transactions directly from Khaos Control, should you need to.

1. PayPal via Opayo - When you integrate with PayPal via your existing Opayo integration your web development partner will be responsible for implementing this and you'll treat the transactions that come down into Khaos Control as, effectively, any other Opayo credit card transaction.
2. PayPal Direct - Allows you to interact directly with PayPal via their API. Khaos Control's preferred integration method.
