# Paypal

> PaymentKit integrates with PayPal using API v3 and the Vault feature to securely manage payment tokens. Before you can process transactions, you must enable Vault access and retrieve your API credentials.

# Set up summary

To accept payments with PayPal in PaymentKit, you will need to:
