On your Senvow payment setup, pick PayPal, paste your Client ID and Secret, and hit Connect PayPal. You'll see a 'Connected' confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a PayPal Business account to sell tickets?
Yes. A free PayPal Business account lets Senvow send buyers' payments straight to you. A personal PayPal account can be upgraded to Business in a couple of minutes.
Does Senvow take a fee from each ticket sale?
Senvow takes no commission on your sales — online selling is included on every plan, including Free, with no per-sale fee. PayPal charges its own standard payment-processing fee on its side, and everything after that goes straight into your account. Selling for cash at the door is always free.
Where does the money go?
Directly into your own PayPal account the moment a buyer pays. Senvow never holds your funds — you stay in control of your money and your payouts.
Can I still take cash at the door?
Yes. You can offer cash, online card, or both — set per ticket. Door cash sales are free and need no setup.
What if I'd rather use Stripe or Square?
PayPal is available today and more providers are on the way. Once another provider ships, you'll connect it the same way — and we'll add a matching step-by-step guide.
