Collabox and Paypal

Nowadays, the use of electronic transactions has become essential in the business world.

The catch is that there will be customers who won’t give you their credit card details.

Any problem, there is a solution. The transaction site PayPal is certainly THE solution that has proven itself for a long time as a neutral and reassuring intermediary for everyone.

We sometimes forget that PayPal is a great way to get paid by credit card, without having to negotiate a merchant number with credit card companies and without having to incur monthly fees.

Without the help of Collabox, producing an invoice and sending it to our (your) customers to be paid by PayPal, imposes a series of technicalities on us that could often exceed our skills.

This is when the Collabox comes to the rescue. Our team has created the easiest solution for our customers to invoice with PayPal.

You only have to fill in one field and voila. From there you can have the invoices produced in the Collabox paid by PayPal (obviously you must first have a PayPal account to do this!).

Here is the procedure you must follow to complete the field in question:

Go to the “Preferences” menu then click on “Organization” (it is always at the bottom left, but you must have this privilege):
