To integrate PayPal transactions into your Shopify orders, leverage the [Import PayPal transactions as Shopify orders](https://tasks.mechanic.dev/import-paypal-transactions-as-shopify-orders) Mechanic task. Follow the steps provided to seamlessly connect the two platforms. :heart:

### 1. Setup a Mechanic webhook that PayPal can send your transactions to

* [ ] Under settings in the Mechanic app setup a new webhook. You'll give the webhook a name (PayPal) and a topic (user/payppal/ipn) as shown below.
* [ ] One you click save you'll have **copy the webhook URL** which you'll need to configure PayPal to send your transactions.
