In this video, I’m walking you through how to connect PayPal to Claude AI so you can start building secure, AI-assisted workflows around your payment data. I show every click from a fresh Claude workspace—starting at claude.ai/new—then heading into Customize, where Claude keeps all your extensions and connections. From there, we jump into the “Connect your apps” hub, search for PayPal, and make sure you’re choosing the official/verified integration before you link anything. I also break down what you’re actually enabling when you connect it. The PayPal connector uses the PayPal MCP server (MCP = Model Context Protocol), which is basically a standardized, secure way for Claude to talk to tools like PayPal without exposing your sensitive info. I recommend reading the integration details and reviewing permissions during the connect flow so you’re always clear on what access you’re granting. And if anything looks missing—like PayPal not showing up or the connection not appearing right away—I share the quick fixes: refresh the page, clear the search filter, and re-check “Connect your apps” to confirm it’s active.
