PayPal integration with Nexus
Keep subscription changes consistent across finance and sales. Subscription changes affect revenue, customer records and finance systems. Nexus uses PayPal inside a governed run so those downstream updates are validated and recorded.

PRE-BUILT ACTIONS
- 01PayPal Subscriptions appears in the Nexus actions library.
Workflow
How it fits into a Nexus workflow
PayPal is not listed among the current trigger sources. Runs can start from a schedule, the webhook receiver or the HTTP poller. Stripe is a separate listed trigger source.
A trigger source starts work. A connector action performs work. Both run inside the same governed execution.
Beyond pre-built actions
When the pre-built action is not enough
Move down one step: an API, protocol or database call, then custom logic in Python, Bash, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, PowerShell or JavaScript/TypeScript with any library. Every step uses the same secrets, approvals, history and audit.
01
Use the HTTP Request node against the PayPal API for operations outside the pre-built action groups.
02
Use Rules + Code for reconciliation and tolerance checks.
03
Require finance approval before changes that policy marks as material.
Examples
Workflow examples
Subscription change into CRM and ERP
A subscription change is validated and reflected in Salesforce and SAP under one execution record.
Scheduled subscription reconciliation
A schedule compares subscription state with finance records and flags mismatches.
Exception review
Unusual subscription events pause for a finance reviewer before downstream updates.
Deployment, trust and audit
Governance, audit and deployment
Deployment
Nexus runs on-premises, in private or sovereign cloud, or air-gapped. The step needs network reach to the system it calls, and nothing else changes.
Secrets and identity
Credentials are referenced through vault-backed secret handling and role-based access, never embedded in workflow logic.
Audit
Inputs, outputs, approvals and outcomes are written to the execution history for every run.
