Overview

Creating a PayPal account within RevCent lets you track sales purchased using PayPal and monitor new or existing disputes.

Since most PayPal payments are made on PayPal.com, RevCent does not send the payment request directly to PayPal, instead RevCent connects to the PayPal API and retrieves details on PayPal payments for RevCent initial sales.
