    PayPal Reference Transactions (also known as Tokenization) is a function of PayPal. The function enables merchants to debit a PayPal account with recurring payments without requiring the consent of the account holder for each debit.

    • This function is mandatory in order to realize PayPal payments with plenigo.
    • This function must be activated manually by PayPal customer service.
    • The activation should be requested in good time, as the process can take some time.
    • Use the PayPal Support Help Center to request the activation.
