Verify with PayPal

Verify with PayPal is an identity verification solution that you can use to confirm PayPal users' identity. During the verification process, the user uploads their government-issued ID and takes a self-portrait with their mobile device. PayPal users can save their verification status to reuse across the PayPal merchant network.

Integrating Verify with PayPal into your onboarding and downstream risk operations can help you:

• Accelerate user onboarding.
• Optimize user experience.
• Reduce fraud risks.
• Preserve platform trust and safety.

How it works

1. You create REST app and configure a redirect URL.
2. You add a Verify with PayPal button to your page that uses the redirect URL to start the verification process.
3. An authorization code is generated when the payer passes verification.
4. You use the authorization code to create an access token and associate it with the user.
