Important

This connector will be deprecated on December 31, 2024. You are recommended to migrate to ODBC connector by installing a driver before that date.

This article outlines how to use the Copy Activity in an Azure Data Factory or Synapse Analytics pipeline to copy data from PayPal. It builds on the copy activity overview article that presents a general overview of copy activity.

Supported capabilities

This PayPal connector is supported for the following capabilities:

Supported capabilities IR
Copy activity (source/-) ① ②
Lookup activity ① ②

① Azure integration runtime ② Self-hosted integration runtime

For a list of data stores that are supported as sources/sinks, see the Supported data stores table.

The service provides a built-in driver to enable connectivity, therefore you don't need to manually install any driver using this connector.

Getting started

To perform the Copy activity with a pipeline, you can use one of the following tools or SDKs:
