# PayPal

To perform PayPal transactions with Mobile SDKs, complete the following steps:

1. Shopper selects PayPal as payment method. After this action, inform your backend.
2. Perform an [eComm API Paypal Transaction.](/api-reference/open-api-references/paypal-ecomm.md)
3. Receive the response from your backend.
4. Send the **approvalURL** and **ID** from the transaction response to the **Verifone SDK**.
5. The SDK will open the **approvalURL** in a webview and parse the response. After this is completed, send the parsed data to your backend.
6. Initiate a [eCom Authorize/Capture transaction ](/api-reference/open-api-references/paypal-ecomm.md)API call.
7. Send the response back to the app to inform the shopper of the outcome.
