  • One-time and recurring PayPal payments recorded in Salesforce
  • Transactions kept up to date for reconciliation
  • Sales, recurring revenue and outstanding balances in Salesforce dashboards

Payments your CRM never sees

When PayPal payments stay in PayPal, someone copies them into Salesforce by hand or not at all. Reconciliation takes longer, and reports on revenue and subscriptions miss part of the picture.

Aiming

The real thing

Payments and refunds, visible in Salesforce

Screenshots from a live Salesforce payments build. Here, payments and refunds sync in from the client’s case management system; the same idea applies to any payment platform. Every customer name is replaced.

  1. 1Payment data on the record

    Payment status, last payment, initial payment, gross sale, total paid, percent paid and balance, synced onto the opportunity, including refunds.

  2. 2Refunds at a glance

    A stage indicator on every opportunity: won, lost to a full refund, or won with a partial refund.

  3. 3Full refund, flagged

    When a payment is fully refunded, the stage moves to Closed Lost – Full Refund and the record says so in a banner.

  4. 4Partial refund, flagged

    A partial refund keeps the deal won, marked Closed Won – Partial Refund, so revenue reports stay accurate.

The real thing

Payment plans and card details, built into Salesforce

From the same live build: a payment plan builder and an optional card authorization on the engagement letter, with checks that catch bad card details before anything is sent.

  1. 1Auto scheduler

    Pick a start date, weekly or monthly, and the number of payments (up to 40). The balance is split evenly, with the last payment absorbing the rounding.

  2. 2An editable payment schedule

    Every scheduled payment listed with its date and amount. Add or remove payments, and the total scheduled is checked against the fee so the balance lands at zero.

  3. 3Card authorization, handled carefully

    Credit card or bank deposit. Card details are optional, saved only on the engagement letter with access restricted, the CVV is never stored, and card data is erased with one click or automatically once the document is sent for signature.

  4. 4Errors caught as you type

    Invalid card numbers, expired dates and a CVV with the wrong number of digits are flagged before anything is saved or sent.
