Supported payment methods

You can create PayPal Wallet payment methods through any of the following approaches:

  • Payment Form

    Add a PayPal button to the hosted payment form. For implementation instructions, see Payment Form.

  • JavaScript SDK integration

    Add a PayPal button to your checkout flow and process payments by integrating with a JavaScript SDK provided by Zuora. The following payment flows are supported:

    • Create and save a payment method.
    • Process a one-time payment without saving the payment method.

    For implementation instructions, see Set up PayPal on PayPal Commerce Platform with Zuora JavaScript SDK.

  • REST API or UI

    Create a PayPal payment method through the REST API operation or Zuora UI. For more information, see Define and set up payment methods.

    You need to implement your own UI and payment processing integration.

Support for Delayed Capture

The Delayed Capture feature allows you to authorize the availability of funds for a transaction but delay the capture of funds until a later time. The PayPal Commerce Platform integration supports Delayed Capture for PayPal payment methods. For how to use the Delayed Capture feature, see Payment Authorization in Zuora API Reference.

Support for Real-Time Reconciliation

With this feature enabled, the payment gateway submits notifications to Zuora, and the corresponding records are automatically updated in real time. For more information, see the following articles:
