Permissions
- The integration is authenticated with a PayPal client ID from an app in your PayPal developer account – the range of usable functions depends on which PayPal products that app is enabled for
- The assistant can only perform actions covered by the connected app's REST API permissions (e.g. invoices, payments, reports) – functions outside that scope aren't possible
- Sandbox and live environments are strictly separate: a sandbox client ID only accesses test data, a live client ID accesses your real PayPal account
Limitations
- Access only to functions supported by your PayPal account
- Certain administrative functions may be restricted
- Rate limits according to PayPal policies
- Use sandbox environment for testing purposes
Privacy and Security
- MeinGPT doesn't store your PayPal password or payment data, only the client ID you enter
- All data is transmitted encrypted
- You can change or remove the client ID anytime in the tool's configuration field
- Transaction data remains protected in your PayPal account
