M4 PayPal Addon

About

PayPal is a popular payment gateway which allows you to collect money from your clients. Clients are not required to have a PayPal account to pay you. They can also pay with their credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) — all without having a PayPal account (you need a PayPal PRO account and M2 PayPal Addon to enable your users to pay without a PayPal account).

Configuration
