Create a PayPal PayIn

Deprecated
<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Caution – Deprecated legacy integration** This endpoint is the legacy integration of PayPal with Mangopay. If you are integrating PayPal for the first time, use the new [POST Create a PayPal PayIn](/api-reference/paypal/create-paypal-payin) endpoint. Existing legacy integrations continue to be supported, but any integration enhancements are only developed on the new endpoint. Platforms are strongly encouraged to move to the new integration to benefit from additional features, including: - [Recurring payment flows](/guides/payment-methods/paypal#recurring-payments) - Support for [tracking information](/guides/payment-methods/paypal#tracking-information) to sync evidence of shipped goods - Additional API payload data such as shipping preference, platform references, and PayPal user information </Warning>
