# Integrate Cal ID with PayPal

> Connect PayPal to Cal ID using your Client ID and Secret Key so bookers can pay for paid event types with a PayPal account or supported card.

Connect PayPal to [Cal ID](https://cal.id/home) to accept payments while users book your events. When someone selects your event, they must pay to confirm the booking, and once payment succeeds the meeting is scheduled automatically.

<Info>
  You'll need a PayPal Developer account to generate the **Client ID** and **Secret Key** used in setup. Cal ID uses PayPal to let you receive payments when someone books your paid event type.
