Use PayPal in GoHighLevel Calendars

If you manage client bookings in tools like ClickUp and want a smoother payment workflow, integrating PayPal with your GoHighLevel calendars is a powerful option. This guide walks you step by step through how to set up PayPal so you can collect payments at the time of booking inside your GoHighLevel account.

By following the process described below, you will be able to link your PayPal account, configure required payment settings, and connect everything with your calendar forms. This ensures that new appointments are only confirmed once payment is successfully captured.

What You Need Before Setting Up PayPal in GoHighLevel

Before you add PayPal to your GoHighLevel calendars, make sure you have the following items ready:

  • An active GoHighLevel account with access to calendars.
  • An active PayPal business account that can accept payments.
  • Admin access to your GoHighLevel sub-account where your calendar is created.
  • Access to your payment settings inside GoHighLevel.

Having everything in place will make the PayPal connection process faster and avoid issues during calendar configuration.

Connect PayPal to Your GoHighLevel Account

The first step is to connect your PayPal account inside the payments area of GoHighLevel. This establishes the integration so it can be used in your calendars.

Step 1: Open GoHighLevel Payments Settings

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel dashboard.
  2. Select the correct sub-account where you manage your calendars.
  3. From the left-hand menu, navigate to the Payments or Integrations section (depending on interface layout).

This area is where GoHighLevel lets you connect payment gateways such as Stripe or PayPal.

Step 2: Connect Your PayPal Account

  1. Inside the payments or gateways area, look for the option to add or connect PayPal.
  2. Click the PayPal integration option.
  3. You will be redirected to a secure PayPal authorization screen.
  4. Log in with your PayPal business credentials.
  5. Confirm and authorize the connection so PayPal can be used by GoHighLevel for collecting payments.

After successful authorization, your PayPal account should be visible as a connected gateway within GoHighLevel. Confirm that the status shows as active or connected.

Enable PayPal for a GoHighLevel Calendar

Once PayPal is connected, you can turn on payment collection directly from any compatible GoHighLevel calendar. This ensures a client is prompted to pay during the booking process.

Step 3: Open the Calendar Configuration in GoHighLevel

  1. In your GoHighLevel account, go to Calendars.
  2. Choose the calendar you want to use with PayPal.
  3. Click to Edit or configure that calendar.

Different calendar types in GoHighLevel may share similar configuration tabs, including event details, availability, and form settings.

Step 4: Access the Payments or Form Tab

  1. Within the calendar editor, locate the tab or section related to Payments or Form Settings.
  2. Look for a toggle or checkbox that enables payment collection for that specific calendar.

When this option is enabled, GoHighLevel will add a payment step to the calendar booking form, allowing you to use PayPal or other connected gateways.

Step 5: Choose PayPal as the Payment Method

  1. In the payments section for the calendar, select PayPal as an allowed gateway.
  2. Enter the price or booking fee you want to charge for this appointment type.
  3. Configure whether the payment is required to confirm the booking.

Once saved, PayPal will appear to your clients as a payment option when they book using that GoHighLevel calendar link.

How Clients Use PayPal in GoHighLevel Calendars

After PayPal is fully set up on the calendar, the booking experience for your clients becomes straightforward.

Step 6: Client Booking and Payment Flow

  1. A client opens your GoHighLevel calendar link.
  2. They choose the desired date and time for the appointment.
  3. They complete the form fields you configured.
  4. On the payment step, they select PayPal.
  5. The client is redirected or shown the secure PayPal checkout to complete payment.
  6. Once payment is successful, the appointment is confirmed and added to the GoHighLevel calendar.

This process ensures you only receive confirmed appointments from clients who have already paid through PayPal.

Troubleshooting PayPal in GoHighLevel Calendars

If PayPal is not appearing or payments are failing within your GoHighLevel calendars, review the following checks:

  • Verify that your PayPal account is fully active and set as a business account.
  • Confirm PayPal is listed as connected under GoHighLevel payment gateways.
  • Check that payment is enabled for the specific calendar.
  • Ensure a price or amount is entered for the appointment type.
  • Test the calendar booking flow in an incognito browser window.
