1. In the PayPal Developer Dashboard, create a Product for your subscription.
2. Create one or more Plans under that Product (monthly, yearly, etc.).
3. Copy the Plan ID for each plan you want to track in RevenueCat.

Shouldn't we mention the auto-import products functionality? That way, they don't have to copy the plan ID at all, right?


#### PayPal

PayPal lets you accept payments in your own checkout and track that revenue in RevenueCat. This integration is for external purchase syncing only (no Web SDK or Web Billing checkout).

I think we should remark more that it's not for WEB SDK or Web billing checkout (yet, at least)


### Current limitations

- Only one product per purchase is supported (single item per order or subscription).

another current limitations:

  • subscriptions starting in the future
  • product change
  • setup fee charge refund
  • setup fee charge payment failure
  • shipping amounts not considered
  • items quantity cannot be more than 1
  • only fixed pricing model supported so far

Similarly to Stripe Billing, the Paddle Billing integration allows you to sell products and subscriptions directly in Paddle Billing, and sync those to RevenueCat. It is currently not supported in our Web SDK or Web Purchase Links, so requires you to use one of Paddle's checkout solutions to handle purchases.

If you already have a Paddle Billing implementation with active subscriptions and customers, you can use this integration to track those purchases in RevenueCat and unlock entitlements for your customers.

is this line intended to be here or should be moved to Paddle's section? If not, we have to change Paddle for PayPal (and probably add this same sentence under Paddle's section as well?
