How do I collect payment through Paypal for online invoices?

If you have already read the guides about getting started with the invoices app, and how to set up the invoices app to receive electronic payments, then it's time to connect your existing Paypal account to Apptivo! This specific tutorial is for connecting your Paypal account.

Apptivo also offers the ability to integrate with either Google Wallet, or Authorize.net for invoice payment collection.

2. If you do not have Paypal yet, click the "Create Paypal Account" button to register

11. Now we'll go back to Apptivo, and click the "Next" button again
