# Deploy and manage the PayPal adapter

Deploy, configure, and maintain the PayPal adapter in your environment.

Stripe supports adding PayPal as a custom payment method in your existing [full page](https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/quickstart.md), [embedded form](https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/form/quickstart.md), and [elements](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/quickstart-checkout-sessions.md) integrations. Stripe shares an adapter with you that you host in your environment and that integrates natively with Checkout for more efficient payment routing.
