PayPal
PayPal checkout orders — create, capture and get (OAuth2 client credentials).
OCNORA ships 3 typed PayPal operations and 1 trigger. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run.
Before you connect PayPal
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0
- Credential
- {"client_id", "client_secret"}
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.
- Prerequisites
- The same app credentials the other PayPal nodes use; the webhook is created with a client-credentials token minted from them. Publishing needs MANTLE_APP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL set to an https URL PayPal can reach — PayPal only delivers to https on port 443.
Prerequisites are taken from the connection notes in this provider’s node contracts; each node’s reference page says which apply to it.
What you can do with PayPal
Operations, grouped by what they do to your data, plus 1 trigger that start a run.
A sample PayPal workflow
- 1Eventtrigger.paypal_eventStart a run when PayPal raises an event — a capture completing, a subscription changing, an invoice being paid, a dispute opening.
- 2Get Orderpaypal.get_orderRetrieve a PayPal order's status.
- 3Capture Orderpaypal.capture_orderCapture payment for an approved PayPal order.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.
PayPal questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with PayPal?
- With a stored OAuth 2.0 credential, shaped {"client_id", "client_secret"}. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with PayPal?
- 3 typed operations and 1 trigger, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the PayPal operation I need is not listed?
- Where PayPal has an HTTP API, call it from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use PayPal?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are PayPal calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
