How It Works

Accept PayPal payments and sync subscriptions with Memberstack plans.

Important Disclaimer

Memberstack is built on Stripe as its native payment processor. This PayPal integration is a workaround solution for users who specifically need PayPal.

Who This Is For

• Users who specifically need PayPal
• Comfortable with custom integrations
• Can manage two payment systems

Who This Is NOT For

• Users who want official features
• Prefer native integrations only
• Need tight PayPal + MS integration

Phase 1

Prerequisites

Memberstack 2.0 Setup

Required Configuration:

• A Data Table named paypal_payments
• A member reference field named member
• Three member custom fields: memberstack-planid, paypal-customerid, plan-status

PayPal Business Account

Required from PayPal:

• REST API app created (Client ID + Secret)
• Subscription plans created in PayPal Dashboard

Go to PayPal Developer

Make.com Account (Optional)

Required for automation of subscription cancellations. When a member cancels in Memberstack, Make.com will automatically cancel their PayPal subscription.

Phase 2

Script Setup

Load PayPal SDK

Add this in your Webflow site's Custom Code → Head Code:

Código de la cabeza

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&currency=USD&components=buttons,subscription&disable-funding=paylater,card"></script>

Note: Replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID with your PayPal Client ID. Use sandbox ID for testing, live ID for production.

Add MemberScript #201

Add the MemberScript in your Custom Code → Footer Code. All settings are configurable in the CONFIG object.

Phase 3

HTML Markup

One-Time Payment Button

Add this HTML where you want the PayPal button to appear:

One-Time Payment HTML

<div
  data-ms-code="paypal-container"
  payment-type="onetime"
  amount="29.99"
  currency="USD"
  table="paypal_payments"
  member-field="member"
  default-plan="pln_onetime-plan-3qjm0brv"
  redirect-url="/success"
>
  <div id="paypal-button-container-0" class="button-container"></div>
</div>

Subscription Button

For recurring subscriptions, use this markup:

Subscription HTML

<div
  data-ms-code="paypal-container"
  payment-type="subscription"
  subscription-plan-id="P-4SJ12655CJ6930608NFNXHLY"
  default-plan="pln_basic-78f60xky"
  plan-name="Basic Plan"
  redirect-url="/welcome"
>
  <div id="paypal-button-container-1" class="button-container"></div>
</div>

Required Attributes

• subscription-plan-id - PayPal plan ID (starts with P-...)
• default-plan - Memberstack plan ID to attach
• plan-name - Human-readable plan name

Phase 4

Create PayPal Plans

Create Plans in Dashboard

Go to developer.paypal.com
Navigate to Sales → Subscriptions
Create a Product first, then create a Plan
Copy the Plan ID (starts with P-...)

Tip: Always test in Sandbox first. Use PayPal test card: 4032034816716178

API Method (Alternative)

You can also create plans via the API:

Terminal

curl -X POST https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/billing/plans \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "product_id": "PROD-XXXXX",
    "name": "Monthly Basic Plan",
    "billing_cycles": [{
      "frequency": { "interval_unit": "MONTH", "interval_count": 1 },
      "tenure_type": "REGULAR",
      "sequence": 1,
      "pricing_scheme": {
        "fixed_price": { "value": "29.99", "currency_code": "USD" }
      }
    }]
  }'

Phase 5
