PayPal Express Checkout

You can use PayPal Express Checkout as a payment option in your public-facing registration. You only need to complete the below steps one time.

Requirements

To set up PayPal Express Checkout, you must first create a PayPal Merchant account. Once you have a merchant account, you must set up a PayPal Express Checkout application from the developer.paypal.com portal. Details are available here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/admin/manage-apps/

You must enable PayPal Express on the Application Settings tab of the Momentus Web Configuration Utility (MomentusWebConfiguration.exe). If you are a Momentus Cloud customer, Momentus must enable this for you. Enter a ticket with your regional Client Care team to have this enabled.

Once you create your PayPal Express Checkout app, you should have a PayPal API Client ID and PayPal API Secret. You need this information for the configuration.
