You can also use the API or webhooks to track invoice payments. When you send an invoice to a customer, the invoice moves from draft to payable state. PayPal then emails the customer a link to the invoice on the PayPal website. Customers with a PayPal account can log in and pay the invoice with PayPal. Alternatively, customers can pay as a guest with a debit card or credit card. For more information, see the Invoicing Overview and the Invoicing Integration Guide. version: '2.7' contact: {} servers: - url: https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com description: PayPal Sandbox Environment - url: https://api-m.paypal.com description: PayPal Live Environment security: [] tags: - name: invoices description: >- Use the `/invoices` resource to create, update, and send invoices and invoice reminders. To manage invoices, you can also list invoices, show details for invoices, delete draft invoices, and cancel sent invoices. You can also record payments for invoices to mark them as fully or partially paid, or record refunds for invoices to mark them as fully or partially refunded. You can create QR codes for invoices that can be scanned, viewed, and paid by a mobile phone. - name: search-invoices description: >- Use the `/search-invoices` resource to search for and list invoices that match search criteria. - name: templates description: >- Use the `/templates` resource to create, list, show details for, update, and delete invoice templates. Use the `/templates` resource when you create a third-party invoicing application. For instance, a business can create a template with predefined invoice data. Later, the business can select the template to populate the invoice data.
Note: To upload a logo to display on an invoice, you can use the Template Settings dashboard to create a template. When you create an invoice, you can use the URI for that logo.
