1. Customer pays via PayPal
2. PayPal confirms payment → order updates
3. Integration captures transaction details
4. Accounting receives sales + fees + settlement
5. CRM receives customer payment activity

AI & Custom Integration Examples

Beyond system-to-system connections, we build custom AI solutions and interfaces powered by PayPal data.

Dispute Prediction

AI analyses transaction patterns to predict likely disputes before they happen. High-risk orders flagged for additional verification. "This order matches patterns of 73% of disputed transactions - recommend identity verification."

Currency Timing Optimiser

AI monitors exchange rates and suggests optimal times to convert PayPal balances. "AUD strengthening - recommend converting USD balance today. Estimated savings: $234 vs waiting."

Fraud Pattern Detection

Machine learning identifies suspicious transaction patterns across your PayPal activity. Multiple orders to same address, velocity checks, and unusual buyer behaviour trigger alerts before shipping.

Cash Flow Forecasting

AI predicts PayPal settlement timing and amounts for cash flow planning. Accounts for processing times, holds, currency conversions. "Expected PayPal deposits this week: $12,340 AUD."
