It is only used if you configure PayPal billing under **Bsaeed Family Tree Builder SAAS Plans**; the family tree and user-account features work without it. What is sent and when: * When you configure a plan, the plugin requests an OAuth access token from PayPal using the Client ID and Secret you provide. * When a visitor subscribes, the plugin creates a PayPal billing subscription and sends the selected plan ID. * PayPal sends subscription status updates (activated, renewed, cancelled, etc.) to this plugin’s webhook endpoint, which the plugin verifies and stores against the relevant user account. * No family tree data, member details, or photos are sent to PayPal — only subscription/ billing information (plan ID, subscription ID, and billing status). This service is provided by PayPal: [Terms of Service](https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/useragreement-full) and [Privacy Policy](https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full). ## Screenshots [⌊Interactive family tree showing clearly organized generations, couples, and children⌉⌊ Interactive family tree showing clearly organized generations, couples, and children⌉[ Interactive family tree showing clearly organized generations, couples, and children [⌊Add or edit a family member — name, photo, parents, and partners all in one screen⌉⌊ Add or edit a family member — name, photo, parents, and partners all in one screen⌉[ Add or edit a family member — name, photo, parents, and partners all in one screen [⌊Find Connection — instantly see how any two family members are related⌉⌊Find Connection— instantly see how any two family members are related⌉[ Find Connection — instantly see how any two family members are related [⌊Admin dashboard with membership and subscription stats at a glance⌉⌊Admin dashboard with membership and subscription stats at a glance⌉[ Admin dashboard with membership and subscription stats at a glance [⌊Manage subscription plans and PayPal settings⌉⌊Manage subscription plans and PayPal settings⌉[ Manage subscription plans and PayPal settings [⌊Simple, clean login screen for your members⌉⌊Simple, clean login screen for your members⌉[ Simple, clean login screen for your members [⌊Customize your site's colour theme in a few clicks⌉⌊Customize your site's colour theme in a few clicks⌉[ Customize your site’s colour theme in a few clicks [⌊Fully responsive — looks great on mobile devices too⌉⌊Fully responsive — looks great on mobile devices too⌉[ Fully responsive — looks great on mobile devices too ## Installation 1.
