Step-by-step guide
How to connect PayPal to Stripe
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active PayPal account
- An active Stripe account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in PayPal to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate PayPal
Click "Add Connection" and select PayPal from the app directory. You'll be redirected to PayPal's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
- Step 03
Authenticate Stripe
Same process for Stripe. Click "Add Connection," select Stripe, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your orders, products, and customer data. You choose which store data the integration can read.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new order placed in paypal or new order placed in stripe. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create order in stripe. Map the data fields between PayPal and Stripe so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between PayPal and Stripe. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect PayPal to Stripe?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both PayPal and Stripe via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing commerce events to commerce actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between PayPal and Stripe?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new PayPal events to Stripe actions, trigger Stripe updates when PayPal data changes, create Stripe records from PayPal events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the PayPal and Stripe integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your PayPal-to-Stripe workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my PayPal data secure when connected to Stripe?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your PayPal or Stripe passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your commerce data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between PayPal and Stripe?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either PayPal or Stripe. For example, create a workflow where PayPal events update Stripe, and a separate one where Stripe changes sync back to PayPal. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect PayPal and Stripe?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use PayPal and Stripe, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
