You can set the payment methods available for your clients in your PayPal account, such as credit and debit cards, PayPal balance, etc. Your members can pay for rooms, desks, events, products, credits, and invoices. Customers can save a card on the Billing page, so the next payment takes one tap, and set it as the default method for automatic invoice charges. Administrators can also add a card in the customer’s profile. A card used on the PayPal payment page is not saved, so a card is saved only when it’s added this way. To check a new card, PayPal places a hold of 1 unit of your location’s currency, such as 1 EUR, and cancels it as soon as the card is saved. The customer may briefly see the pending amount in their banking app, but is never charged.
Saving cards needs the Vault and Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments features turned on for your REST API application in the PayPal Dashboard. Without them, customers pay with PayPal as before, but can’t save cards.

​
