Step 4: Enable the following options under Available Permissions, then click Add:

• Use Express Checkout to process payments

• Issue a refund for a specific transaction

• Authorize and capture your PayPal transactions

• Obtain information about a single transaction

• Issue a refund for any prior transaction

That’s all you need to do in your Paypal account. Head back to the Store > Setup > Checkout page in your Weebly account to finish connecting Paypal.

When prompted, check the box to confirm you’ve granted permission through PayPal and click Done.

Your Paypal account should now be connected, and you can begin accepting payments through your online store.

Note: If you disconnect your Paypal account, you will need to go through this process again before you can reconnect.
