Learn how to set up a PayPal payment method using the REST API in Braintree v2.0, including tokenization and validation in Zuora.

You can create a PayPal payment method on Braintree v2.0 through the Create a payment method REST API operation, with type set to PayPalCP . For details about the required and optional request fields, see the Create a payment method API Reference document.
