What is PayPal Support for Calendars?

PayPal Support for Calendars adds PayPal as a payment gateway in Service (v2), Round-Robin, Collective, and Personal calendars. Once connected, PayPal appears at checkout so bookers can pay with their PayPal balance, linked bank, or card. You control pricing per calendar and collect the funds directly in your PayPal account.

Key Benefits of PayPal Support for Calendars

Offer one-click checkout; no card entry required for PayPal customers.
Works side-by-side with Stripe, Square, NMI, and Authorize .net—clients pick the method they prefer.
Instant fund settlement in your PayPal dashboard.
Fully PCI-compliant; SourCherry never stores PayPal credentials.

Supported Payment Providers

SourCherry calendars now support:

PayPal (new)
Stripe
Authorize .net
NMI

PayPal and Razorpay cannot both be active at the same time. If both are connected, Razorpay will be used by default.

Frequently Asked Questions
