Setting Up PayPal in MartialWave

To charge your monthly fees or any other entries listed in Transactions, you can integrate with PayPal. Before proceeding, here are some important considerations:

• You must have a PayPal BUSINESS account to obtain the Client ID and Secret.
• MartialWave does not handle the monetary transactions itself; it only creates invoices in PayPal, which then receives the payments through the payer’s chosen method.
• When linking a payment method, the user is responsible for the issued invoices and their management within PayPal (refunds, settlements, creation, etc.), including both generated invoices and processed amounts. In other words, any actions performed directly in PayPal will not affect MartialWave.
• Upon linking your MartialWave account with PayPal, a new current account and category will be created within MartialWave, which users cannot modify or delete until the PayPal account is unlinked.
• If an integration is removed, any pending invoices in PayPal will lose their link to MartialWave. Therefore, if they are paid afterward, the payment will not reflect in the system.
• MartialWave has no control over PayPal's processes, especially regarding settlement dates, fees, or other conditions.
• The responsibility for sending invoices via email to payers belongs to PayPal. Therefore, we cannot guarantee their delivery.
• PayPal's transaction fees will not be recorded in MartialWave. If you want these amounts reflected in the system, you will need to manually create transactions for them.
• You can configure due date and overdue notifications within PayPal.
