## Confirm a PayPal payment

`stripe.confirmPayPalPayment(clientSecret: string, data?: object)`

Use `stripe.confirmPayPalPayment` in the [PayPal Payments with Payment Methods](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal/accept-a-payment.md) flow when the customer submits your payment form.
When called, it will confirm the `PaymentIntent`, and it will automatically redirect the customer to authorize the transaction.
Once authorization is complete, the customer will be redirected back to your specified `return_url`.

> Note that `stripe.confirmPayPalPayment` may take several seconds to complete.
> During that time, you should disable your form from being resubmitted and show a waiting indicator like a spinner.
> If you receive an error result, you should be sure to show that error to the customer, re-enable the form, and hide the waiting indicator.
