Once you have successfully integrated your PayPal account within Roster, we recommend sending a test payment to one of the brand's team members to ensure that the PayPal account is 100% ready to send payments.

Before beginning, ensure your PayPal account balance has enough to cover the test transaction and the transaction feel ($0.25 for a U.S. business sending to a U.S. payee.)
