Add your PayPal account to your event to allow registrants to pay via various digital methods

If you're selling tickets or merch for your event, connecting a PayPal Premier or Business account lets your registrants pay the fee through their PayPal account, Venmo account, a credit card, or Pay Later. If you don't already have an account, simply sign up for a new account and link your banking information. Only one PayPal account is needed in order to offer each of these payment methods - you do not need to set up separate Venmo or Pay Later accounts.

1. On the "Payments" step of the Events builder, click Connect in the PayPal box to link a new account or Add another to connect an additional account.
   
   
    
2. Confirm the billing country and then click Continue.
   
   
    
3. Enter your email address and select your country or region. Then click Next.
   
   
    
4. Enter your password and then click Log In.
   
   
    
5. Click Go back to Constant Contact, Inc.
   
   
    

Important: PayPal charges a fee of 3.49% + $0.49 and Constant Contact collects an additional fee of 2.9% for each order/transaction conducted. Please note that the PayPal fee may vary depending on your specific agreement with PayPal. Please follow up with PayPal with any questions.

Back on the Payments tab and you'll see that your PayPal account has successfully been connected. Click +Add Another to connect an additional PayPal account.



If Venmo and Pay Later are enabled for your event, registrants can choose to check out with one of these payment methods, or via PayPal or a debit/credit card. Regardless of which method they choose, the payment will be made to your PayPal account.



If Venmo and Pay Later are not enabled for your event, registrants can check out using PayPal or pay via debit/credit card.
