Connect PayPal with Cal ID
Let clients pay via PayPal when booking a session.
The PayPal integration connects PayPal with Cal ID so you can collect payment when people book with no manual work. It is ideal for consultants, coaches, clinics, and any business that charges for time. Once you link the two, every booking, reschedule, and cancellation flows through PayPal automatically, and your Cal ID booking pages keep working exactly as before. It sets up in about a minute from the app directory and is free on every Cal ID plan, with no extra fees.
Why connect PayPal

Refunds stay in sync
