About this Product
Business Central ships with a basic PayPal Payments Standard extension that drops a generic "Pay with PayPal" link onto an emailed invoice — and then leaves you to reconcile everything by hand. The PayPal Payments Connector for Business Central closes that gap. It is a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), wiring PayPal directly into your accounts-receivable cycle.
On the front end, the connector generates a per-invoice pay-now link surfaced on the standard Sales Invoice email body and, where you run one, your customer portal — pre-filled with the invoice number, amount, and currency. On the back end it does the work the native extension never touches: an event subscriber on payment registration plus a scheduled Job Queue entry polls the PayPal REST API, pulls settled transactions and payouts, and auto-matches them to open invoices using the invoice reference and amount, posting the customer payment for you.
It keeps your ledger honest. Refund and dispute status flow back into Business Central so reversed or charged-back transactions are visible against the right customer. PayPal's per-transaction fees post to a G/L account you nominate, so the cash you bank reconciles to the invoice. Multiple PayPal accounts map to BC currencies and bank accounts, so a USD and a EUR PayPal account settle to the right ledger.
Everything is delivered as a signed AL extension with its own permission sets, configuration page, and Job Queue entries — no changes to base objects, clean to upgrade. This is build-to-order: there is no instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE scopes against your invoice and email setup, builds, deploys to a sandbox, validates with your real PayPal account, then promotes to production and supports it.
What you get
- A signed per-tenant AL extension (.app) installed on your Business Central sandbox and production environments
- Setup and configuration page for PayPal REST credentials, fee G/L account, currency/bank mapping, and matching tolerance
- Configured Job Queue entry/entries for scheduled PayPal transaction and payout polling
- Dedicated permission sets for PayPal configuration and reconciliation roles
- Sandbox validation run against your real PayPal account before production promotion
- Short admin runbook covering setup, credential rotation, and reconciliation review, plus a defined post-go-live support window
Who this is for
Finance / AR Manager
Wants PayPal receipts to land against the right invoice automatically, with fees and refunds reflected in the ledger, instead of exporting PayPal CSVs and matching them by hand each month.
Business Central Administrator
Needs a clean, upgrade-safe extension with its own permission sets and Job Queue entries — no base-object changes — that they can manage alongside the rest of the tenant.
E-commerce / Multi-currency Merchant
Bills customers in several currencies through more than one PayPal account and needs each to settle to the correct BC bank account and currency, with fees posted correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions about PayPal Payments Connector for Business Central
How long does delivery take, and is this an AppSource download?
This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource install. After we scope your invoice email setup, PayPal accounts, and currency mapping, a typical build is delivered in about one working week. We develop the AL extension, deploy it to your Business Central sandbox, validate matching and fee posting against your real PayPal account, then promote to production with you. There is no public download link — ECOSIRE installs it on your tenant.
What happens to support and updates after go-live?
Every build includes a defined post-go-live support window for fixes and questions. Because it is a per-tenant extension that only uses event subscribers and extension objects (no base-object modification), it survives Business Central's regular cloud update cadence. If a future BC release or PayPal REST API change requires a recompile, we handle that under a support or maintenance arrangement agreed at delivery.
How is this different from the built-in PayPal Payments Standard extension?
The native extension only adds a generic pay link to an emailed invoice. It does not reconcile anything. Our connector adds automatic payout-to-invoice matching, posts customer payments, syncs refund and dispute status, posts PayPal fees to your G/L, and maps multiple PayPal accounts to the correct currency and bank account — the entire AR loop the native extension leaves manual.
Does it work with multiple PayPal accounts and currencies?
Yes. Each PayPal account maps to a Business Central currency and bank account on the configuration page. A USD PayPal account settles to your USD bank ledger and a EUR account to your EUR ledger, with fees posted per transaction so each currency reconciles independently.
Will it modify our base objects or affect upgrades?
No. It is delivered as a signed AL extension using table/page extensions and event subscribers, never base-object changes. It carries its own permission sets and Job Queue entries, so it installs cleanly and upgrades safely alongside the rest of your tenant.
Does it run on Business Central cloud (SaaS) or on-premises?
Both. The extension is built to AppSource-style per-tenant standards and installs on Business Central online (SaaS) sandboxes and production environments, as well as on-premises deployments. PayPal connectivity uses the PayPal REST API over HTTPS, so it works wherever your BC environment can reach the internet.
