# Receiving payments with PayPal

Once you have completed the [integration of TuCalendi and PayPal](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/s/integrations/integrate-paypal-receive-payments-tucalendi), you can start **receiving payments with PayPal** from your online calendar for the events where you need to charge your customers directly when they make a booking with you.

**Linking the PayPal payment gateway to an event is very simple**. [Log in](https://account.tucalendi.com/login) to TuCalendi with your username and password and go to the **"Calendars"** option.

**Find the event** for which you want to enable PayPal payments and **click on the event name**.

All the event configuration options appear in the horizontal menu.

Click on the **"Payment"** block.

Enable the **"Paid event"** option. Choose the **currency** you want to charge in, the **price** you are going to charge for the event, and select **PayPal**.

We have added an option you can use for events that require PayPal payment:

- [**Charge only a deposit**](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/s/availability-configuration-events/how-to-charge-only-one-deposit-at-a-payment-event). This is a very useful option if you want to charge part of the service at the time of booking.

Click **"Save"** to update the changes to the event.

The result in the TuCalendi widget will look like this:

Please note that to receive PayPal payments for the events you organize on TuCalendi, you need **your own PayPal business account**.

> [!WARNING]
> **IMPORTANT**: To receive payments from TuCalendi events, you must be subscribed to a [payment plan](https://www.tucalendi.com/en/pricing).
