OneText integrates directly with your PayPal account to securely process payments through text. This connection allows you to maintain control over your payment infrastructure while unlocking seamless, in-conversation checkout experiences for your customers.

How It Works

  • We connect to your existing PayPal account during onboarding—if you don't have one, it only takes a few minutes to set one up

  • All OneText purchases are processed directly through your PayPal environment

  • Funds settle into your account just like any other transaction

Reconciliation Made Easy

To simplify reconciliation and reporting, OneText automatically adds the PayPal Order ID, PayPal Authorization ID, and PayPal Capture ID to the order notes of every Shopify order placed through OneText. This makes it easy for your finance team to trace each OneText order back to its original PayPal record.
