PayPlus Zapier integrationAutomate PayPlus with Zapier.
The PayPlus Zapier integration gives you 3 triggers, 0 actions and 0 searches: it reports payments out of PayPlus, it never writes back into it. All three triggers are instant and work on the free plan. Here is what each one does and where it can mislead you.

What the PayPlus Zapier integration actually does
It turns events in your PayPlus account (the payment service that processes your customers' cards) into the starting point of automations in your other tools, through Zapier. A payment goes through or an invoice is issued, PayPlus tells Zapier, and Zapier carries the information wherever you need it.
Three results people build with it. A live sales log: New Charge writes each successful payment to a spreadsheet or an accounting tool, so nobody exports a report by hand. An invoice trail: New Invoice passes each new invoice to the place your bookkeeper actually works. A ready-to-ship signal: New Approval tells the team that funds are held on a customer's card, so they can prepare the order before the money is taken.
Now what Zapier cannot do with PayPlus, because it is a lot. There is no action at all: a Zap cannot create a charge, issue an invoice, refund a payment or change anything inside PayPlus. There is no search either, so a Zap cannot look up an existing payment. PayPlus can only start Zaps. Whatever happens next always runs in another app.
That makes the integration narrow but clean: three events, all reported instantly, which is exactly what a payment flow wants. For a broader read on the tool itself, see the Zapier review.
Zapier vocabulary, in plain words
Seven words come back all along this page. Here they are once.
- Zap
- The automation you build on Zapier: one trigger, then one or more actions that run each time that trigger event happens.
- Trigger
- The event that starts the Zap. Once the Zap is switched on, Zapier waits for it, here a new approval, charge or invoice in PayPlus.
- Action
- What the Zap does once it has started: the step that writes or sends something for you. With PayPlus, actions always live in another app.
- Task
- The unit Zapier bills: one action your Zap completes successfully. The number on your plan counts exactly those.
- Polling vs instant
- A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer. An instant trigger is reported by the app itself, at the moment the event happens.
- Filter
- A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets the condition you set, and stops it there otherwise.
- Connection
- Your PayPlus account linked to Zapier once, then reused by every Zap that starts from PayPlus.
What a PayPlus Zap really costs
Zapier bills tasks, and only one thing creates a task: an action that works.
- PayPlus trigger0 tasks
- Each successful action1 task
- Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
- PayPlus on the free planYes, not reserved to paid plans
- PayPlus triggers3 of 3 instant
Since PayPlus only provides triggers, PayPlus itself never costs you a task. The trigger is free, and so is Zapier listening for new events. What you pay for is each successful action in the other apps of the Zap: one action per run, one task. A failed action is not counted. PayPlus is not reserved to paid plans, so it works on the free plan: 100 tasks a month and unlimited Zaps, but each Zap stops at two steps, one trigger and one action. A second action or a filter makes it a multi-step Zap, which needs a paid plan. The interval grid below only concerns polling triggers. All three PayPlus triggers are instant, so on any plan, free included, the Zap starts without waiting.
Connect your PayPlus account in three steps
- 01
Open the Apps page
In your Zapier account, go to Apps and click + Add connection. You need a PayPlus account first, plus access to anything you do not own yourself but want the Zap to read.
- 02
Pick PayPlus
Type PayPlus in the search box of the dialog that appears, select it in the results, then click Add connection to start the link. A new tab opens on PayPlus's side.
- 03
Sign in and grant access
Log in to PayPlus in that tab and allow Zapier to reach your account. The connection now shows on the Apps page, and every Zap that starts from PayPlus can reuse it.
Your first PayPlus Zap, step by step
GoalEach successful PayPlus charge is logged in a sheet and announced to the team.
- 01
Pick the trigger
Create a Zap, choose PayPlus as the app and New Charge as the event, then select the PayPlus connection you just made. It starts everything.
- 02
Test the trigger
Run the test. Zapier brings back the three most recent charges of the account, so you map the next steps on a real payment rather than a blank.
- 03
Add the sheet
Add the spreadsheet app as the first action and map the charge details into its columns. On its own, this two-step Zap runs on the free plan.
- 04
Add the message
Add the team chat app as a second action. That makes it a multi-step Zap, so this part needs a paid plan; keep only the sheet if you are on the free one.
- 05
Test, then publish
Test each action and check the result in both tools. Then click Publish to switch the Zap on. It reacts only to charges made from that moment.
The 3 PayPlus triggers
3 events start a Zap when something happens in PayPlus, and 3 of them are instant: the app calls Zapier straight away, whatever your plan.
New Approval
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new successful approval is created. Holds funds but doesn’t charge yet.”
Starts a Zap when a card authorization succeeds in PayPlus. The funds are held on the customer's card, but nothing has been charged yet, which makes this the early signal in a payment flow.
New Charge
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new successful charge is created.”
Goes off for every successful charge created in PayPlus. This is the money actually taken, so it is the trigger to build on whenever a Zap should record or celebrate a sale.
New Invoice
Instant triggerIn Zapier“Triggers when a new invoice is created.”
Fires each time an invoice is created in PayPlus. Where New Charge tells you money came in, this one tells you a document was issued, which is what your bookkeeping usually needs to match.
When a PayPlus Zap breaks
Zapier lists no help article and no rate limit specific to PayPlus. The problems come from the general behaviour of Zaps, and from reading a payment event the wrong way.
None of these is a bug: each is how Zapier works, and each is easy to plan for once you know it. When something else goes wrong, the Zapier troubleshooting page is the next stop.
Past payments never arrive
A Zap reacts only to what happens after it is switched on. Charges and invoices made before are ignored, and moving that history is a separate job.Approvals counted as sales
New Approval means funds are held, not taken. A Zap that logs approvals as revenue overstates what you really collected.A sudden batch gets held back
If a large number of events reaches Zapier at once, after a bulk operation for instance, its flood protection can hold those runs back.
