# PayPal eCommerce

The **PayPal eComm API** enables merchants to process PayPal-powered payments through Verifone's Global Service Cloud. It supports one-time transactions (authorise, capture, refund, void), recurring billing via agreements and subscriptions, and product/plan management for subscription commerce.

All endpoints require Bearer JWT authentication and are available across EMEA, Americas, and New Zealand production environments, as well as Global and Americas sandboxes.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `x-vfi-api-idempotencyKey` header is available on most write operations. Use it to safely retry requests without risk of duplicate transactions.
