PayPal allows any business or individual with an email address to send and receive payments online. Momence gives you the option to accept payments via Paypal as well, in addition to accepting credit cards.

Common issues
My payment got disputed/refunded/canceled on Paypal, but it's not reflected in Momence.
Unfortunately, after a payment has been processed using PayPal, we don't get any information about any subsequent events such as cancelation or disputes. You will be able to manage the payment status via your PayPal account and will need to amend the customer status via the Momence Dashboard accordingly.
My customers are trying to use PayPal the purchase isn't reflected in Momence.
Sometimes, if a PayPal transaction is interrupted, it will not complete the booking process on the Momence end. Unfortunately, PayPal does not let us know when this happens so we are unable to reach out about it. Our recommendation is to book these customers in manually from your end or try using a different payment method.
