A page appears with a message about payment details after clicking “Pay” button. (All field titles and descriptions can be changed. See “Edit” block below).

Your customer goes to PayPal (Online or through the terminal) and pays specified amount. 

When payment is done he returns to the tab with this message. Before confirming payment, you can specify payment details and attach screenshot of the receipt.

Entry can be canceled using cancel button in “Actions” column if payment is not found in PayPal personal account (customer did not make payment).
