Shopify PayPal setup is not copying a button. Confirm the boundary between store, market, currency, checkout, refunds, disputes, settlement, and risk. A cross-border store should check PayPal availability, account, product restrictions, and settlement currency per target market and use test orders for authorisation, cancellation, refunds, and webhook state.
Activation and acceptance
Record account owner, access, environment, client keys, callback, settlement account, and rotation. Test successful payment, cancel, failure, partial and full refund, dispute, duplicate webhook, and currency conversion. Treat payment and Shopify records as authoritative; a frontend success message is not proof of settlement. Support and finance need reconciliation and exception handling.
| Scenario | Confirm | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Activation | Region, account, currency, product | Setup record |
| Payment | Authorise, capture, fail, cancel | Test order |
| Aftercare | Refund, dispute, fee | Reconciliation |
| Technical | Callback, retry, idempotency, key | Log |
