How to Connect PayPal to AI: Payments, Invoices and Disputes at a Glance
Connect PayPal to AI to see payments received and sent, total up a month, check unpaid invoices and track disputes. Step-by-step with Viro AI: free, private and read-only.
If you sell or freelance through PayPal, the questions are simple: what came in, what’s unpaid, is anything disputed. The activity page makes you work for each answer. Connecting PayPal to AI lets you just ask.
This guide shows how to connect PayPal to Viro AI, the free AI assistant with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Viro’s own model in one app, and what you can do once it’s connected.
What you can do when PayPal is connected to AI
- List payments you received and sent in a period, with amounts, fees and status
- Add up what came in or went out over a week, a month or longer
- Show your invoices and which are unpaid, paid or still drafts
- Show customer disputes and where each one stands
What it won’t do: send or request money, create or send an invoice, issue a refund, respond to a dispute, or change any setting.
How to connect PayPal to AI, step by step
- Open Viro AI at ai.viro.app, or in the iPhone, Android or Mac app, and sign in. It’s free.
- Go to Customize → Connectors, open PayPal and select Connect to Viro.
- Log in to PayPal and approve access.
- Check that it’s connected. Back in Viro, PayPal is listed under Yours.
What to ask PayPal once it’s connected
Once it’s connected, just ask in any chat. Use your own names and dates.
Income
- “What PayPal payments did I receive this week?”
- “How much came in on PayPal last month, after fees?”
Invoices and disputes
- “Which of my PayPal invoices are unpaid?”
- “Do I have any open PayPal disputes?”
Read-only by design
PayPal’s sign-in gives a connected app more access than reading. Viro doesn’t use it: it only looks things up in PayPal, and refuses anything that would create, change or delete something there. It can’t move money.
Good to know
- PayPal returns up to 31 days of transactions at a time, so for longer periods Viro looks up one month after another and adds them up.
- PayPal’s transaction list can run a few hours behind, so a payment from the last few hours may not show yet.
Is it private?
Viro reads your PayPal data only to answer what you ask. It is never used to train AI models and Viro never sells your data. Free-plan ads are matched to words in the current conversation, never to your identity or your connected apps, and no human reads your chats.
To disconnect, open PayPal in Customize → Connectors and select Disconnect. This deletes the connection Viro stored.
