Connecting PayPal to Your Discord Store: A Complete Guide

By Cartcord Team · Integration · 2026-06-24

The store owner connects matching Live PayPal credentials in Manage store → Settings, verifies them and explicitly attaches the account to this store. Repeat attachment for each owned store. Production has no Sandbox toggle. Cartcord takes 0% sales commission; PayPal processing fees, holds and payment-method availability still apply.

To connect PayPal, open your dashboard Settings and enter your PayPal API credentials (Client ID and Secret) from your PayPal developer account. Cartcord encrypts these credentials and uses them only to create and capture orders on your behalf.

A quick note for teams: only the store owner can connect PayPal, and they must do it from their own dashboard. Administrators can manage products and orders, but billing and payouts stay with the owner for security.

With PayPal connected, your Discord store is ready to accept real money from anywhere in the world.

Recover an existing purchase

Buyers sign in with the original Discord account at cartcord.com/purchases, find the order and choose View delivery. This is private purchase recovery, including when DMs were blocked. Payment and delivery states are separate. New recovery/staff bot commands are rolling out, so use the web route if a command is not available.
