## What it is
A PayPal REST API client for Laravel that also works as a standalone PHP package, covering orders, payments, payouts, subscriptions, invoices, disputes, and webhooks. It supports PHP 8.2-8.5 and Laravel 12/13 and is migrating to the Orders v2 API ahead of the v1 Payments sunset.

## Use cases
- accept PayPal payments in a Laravel app
- process PayPal subscriptions and billing plans
- send PayPal payouts from PHP
- handle PayPal IPN and webhooks
- create and search PayPal invoices
- manage PayPal disputes and order refunds

## When to choose
- you need PayPal REST API integration in Laravel or plain PHP
- you want subscriptions, payouts, and invoicing in one package
- you need a maintained client ready for the Orders v2 migration

## When to avoid
- you need Stripe or other payment gateways
- you rely on the deprecated classic NVP/SOAP Express Checkout APIs
- you need an official PayPal-supported SDK with vendor warranty
