This feature is in Beta. To use it, a workspace admin must turn on Lakeflow Connect for PayPal from the Previews page. See Manage Azure Databricks previews.

Ingest from PayPal in 3 steps
Note
Before starting, review the Azure Databricks user persona, supported interfaces, ingestion frequency, and common patterns.
- Configure PayPal for ingestion (Admins): Set up PayPal to authenticate with Azure Databricks.
- Create a Unity Catalog connection (Admins): Create a connection in Catalog Explorer so non-admins can create pipelines.
- Create an ingestion pipeline (Admins or non-admins): Select any supported interface and create a pipeline from an existing connection.
