PayPal

The AI sales assistant with PayPal checkout in chat

Connect PayPal and Echo AI can sell products and take tips via PayPal Checkout inside conversations.

Overview

Echo's PayPal integration adds PayPal Checkout as a payment method alongside cards. Connect your PayPal Business account via OAuth and PayPal becomes available for your catalog checkout and tip jar, including recurring subscriptions. PayPal's biggest advantage is global reach - it operates in 200+ markets where Stripe isn't available. The flow is native PayPal Checkout, so buyers see the familiar PayPal experience. Funds land in your PayPal Business account directly. Echo never holds funds. Note: paid calendar bookings are powered by Stripe or Square, not PayPal.

What you get

Tips via PayPal - Your tip jar accepts PayPal alongside cards.
