Integrating PayPal with Zapier: Setting Up a PayPal Button and Filter

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Integrating PayPal with Zapier streamlines your payment processes and automates your workflows. To set up a PayPal button that works with a Zapier filter, follow these steps carefully:


Step 1: Create Your PayPal Button



  • Log in to your PayPal account.

  • Navigate to the 'PayPal buttons' section.

  • Select the type of button you want to create (e.g., Buy Now, Donate).

  • Customize the button with your product and pricing details.

  • Save the button, and PayPal generates HTML code for you to embed in your website.


Step 2: Configure Your Zapier Account



  • Sign up or log into Zapier.

  • Click on 'Make a Zap!'

  • Choose PayPal as your trigger app, and then select 'New Sale' as the trigger event.

  • Follow instructions to connect your PayPal account with Zapier.


Step 3: Set Up Your Zapier Filter



  • After selecting the trigger event, you'll be prompted to add an 'Action' or a 'Filter'.

  • Choose 'Filter'.

  • Set the filter rules according to the conditions in which you want to automate your action. For instance, if you want a task to trigger only for sales over $100, set that condition here.

  • Test the filter to ensure it's working as expected.


Step 4: Connect Your Action App



  • After the Filter stage, choose the app you want to execute as an action when the conditions are met.

  • This can be a notification service, an email, a CRM entry—whatever suits your business needs.

  • Configure the action based on your desired outcome and test it.


Step 5: Activate Your Zap



  • Finally, name your Zap.

  • Turn it on.


Now your PayPal button is successfully integrated with a Zapier filter to facilitate advanced, conditional automated workflows!"
