 ## Overview
 
-[//]: # (TODO: Add overview mentioning the purpose of the module, supported REST API versions, and other high-level details.)
+[PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/) is a global online payment platform enabling individuals and businesses to securely send and receive money, process transactions, and access merchant services across multiple currencies.
 
-## Setup guide
+The `ballerinax/paypal.subscriptions` package provides a Ballerina connector for interacting with the [PayPal Subscriptions API v1](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/), allowing you to create, manage, and monitor subscription-based billing plans and subscriptions in your Ballerina applications.
 
-[//]: # (TODO: Add detailed steps to obtain credentials and configure the module.)
+## Setup Guide
+
+To use the PayPal Subscriptions connector, you must have access to a [PayPal Developer account](https://developer.paypal.com/).
+
+### Step 1: Create a Business Account
+
+1. Open the [PayPal Developer Dashboard](https://developer.paypal.com/dashboard).
+
+   ![Sandbox accounts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ballerina-platform/module-ballerinax-paypal.subscriptions/main/docs/setup/resources/sandbox-accounts.png)
+
+3. Create a Business account.
+   > Note: Some PayPal options and features may vary by region or country; check availability before creating an account.
+   ![Create business account](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ballerina-platform/module-ballerinax-paypal.subscriptions/main/docs/setup/resources/create-account.png)
+
+### Step 2: Create a REST API App
+
+1. Navigate to the "Apps and Credentials" tab and create a new merchant app.
+2. Provide a name for the application and select the Business account created earlier.
+   ![Create app](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ballerina-platform/module-ballerinax-paypal.subscriptions/main/docs/setup/resources/create-app.png)
+
+### Step 3: Obtain Client ID and Client Secret
+
+1. After creating the app, you will see your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Copy and securely store these credentials.

 ## Quickstart
 
-[//]: # (TODO: Add a quickstart guide to demonstrate a basic functionality of the module, including sample code snippets.)
+To use the `paypal.subscriptions` connector in your Ballerina application, update the `.bal` file as follows:
+
+### Step 1: Import the Module
+
+Import the `paypal.subscriptions` module.
+
+```ballerina
+import ballerinax/paypal.subscriptions;
+```
+
+### Step 2: Instantiate a New Connector
+
+1. Create a `Config.toml` file and configure the obtained credentials and URLs:
+   ```toml
+   clientId = "<your-client-id>"
+   clientSecret = "<your-client-secret>"
+
+   serviceUrl = "<paypal-service-url>"
+   tokenUrl = "<paypal-token-url>"
+   ```
+
+2. Create a `paypal:ConnectionConfig` with the credentials and initialize the connector:
+   ```ballerina
+   configurable string clientId = ?;
+   configurable string clientSecret = ?;
+   configurable string serviceUrl = ?;
+   configurable string tokenUrl = ?;
+
+   final paypal:Client paypal = check new ({
+       auth: {
+           clientId,
+           clientSecret,
+           tokenUrl
+       }
+   }, serviceUrl);
+   ```
+
+### Step 3: Invoke a Connector Operation
+
+#### Create a Subscription Plan
+
+```ballerina
+public function main() returns error? {
+    paypal:PlanRequestPOST plan = {
+        product_id: "PROD-1234567890",
+        name: "Basic Subscription Plan",

+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        ],
+        payment_preferences: {
+            auto_bill_outstanding: true,
+            setup_fee: {
+                value: "0.00",
+                currency_code: "USD"
+            },
+            setup_fee_failure_action: "CONTINUE",
+            payment_failure_threshold: 3
+        }
+    };
+    paypal:Plan response = check paypal->/plans.post(plan);
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4: Run the Ballerina application
+
+```bash
