PayPal Checkout Flows for Saved Payment Methods: Now Available in Postman

We’re excited to announce the latest addition to the PayPal Postman Collection: Checkout flows for Saved Payment Methods. This release makes it easier than ever for developers to explore, test, and integrate PayPal’s Save Payment Method capabilities into their applications.
What’s New
This update introduces six new flows that demonstrate how payment methods can be securely vaulted either during checkout (Save During Purchase) or before checkout (Save for Purchase Later), across both Card and PayPal payment sources. Each flow is structured in its own subfolder with a step-by-step request sequence, sample payloads, and a natural language description for developers to follow along easily.
Real-World Use Cases
Save During Purchase: A buyer on an app like Uber Eats saves their card at checkout for faster one-click payments on future orders.
Save for Purchase Later: A subscription service like Netflix offers a free trial, vaulting the customer’s PayPal account upfront and charging automatically once the trial ends—no additional checkout required.
Why It Matters
Vaulted payments enable seamless customer experiences:
Subscriptions & trials without repeat authentication
One-click checkouts for returning buyers
Flexible billing for services that charge in the background
By offering ready-to-run examples, you can accelerate integration and bring these experiences directly into your apps.
Get Started
You can explore the new flows today in the PayPal Postman Public Workspace. Fork the collection, run the requests, and see how Save Payment Method APIs can power your checkout experience.
