Why do I need PayPal?

To take payments from your attendees, you’ll need to be set up with a payment processor.

Ticket Tailor allows you to use either PayPal Stripe or Square, and all platforms allow buyers to pay with credit and debit cards. In PayPal’s case, the buyer can also use their existing PayPal balance.


How to connect PayPal to your account

  1. From the 'Settings' section of your dashboard, choose 'Payment systems' from the side menu.

  2. Select the button marked 'More options including Paypal, Square and offline payments'.

  3. Click the button marked 'Connect a PayPal account'. 

  4. You'll be taken to a PayPal page to connect your account. You will be prompted to log in or create a PayPal account using your email address.

    1. It is a good idea to use the same email address which your customers can use to contact you, so they recognise their payments.

  5. You can then select if you're using PayPal for personal or business use.

  6. You'll then be asked to connect your account. Once you hit 'Agree and Connect' you'll be directed back to Ticket Tailor.

  7. You'll then be presented with a pop-up to choose whether you want to use PayPal for all new events, and/or existing ones:
