To use PayPal as a payment method with a custom offers integration you will need to include a payment_method field nested under the payment object of the purchase post and add paypal as a string. Do not include label or payment_method in the payment object. Note that you can also remove card_type (or leave blank) from the request when creating with PayPal since that information is not shared.
