How to Integrate PayPal with Vtiger

Selling products online comes with some advantages overselling the products at a brick-and-mortar store alone. Many organizations have set up profitable online businesses. 

Nowadays, we have an even number of ways to pay the bills online. The trend of online bill payments initially got started with the use of credit cards. Credit cards, while still being in use come with potential online threats. One such threat is cyber theft, wherein hackers use an individual’s credit card details to make purchases online.
