# Get current balance — PayPal

Botize method — `paypal.balances` (action).

Returns the current, available and withheld balance of a specific currency type.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `currency` *(string, one of: "AUD"; "BRL"; "CAD"; "CNY"; "CZK"; "DKK"; "EUR"; "HKD"; "HUF"; "ILS"; "JPY"; "MYR"; "MXN"; "TWD"; "NZD"; "NOK"; "PHP"; "PLN"; "GBP"; "RUB"; "SGD"; "SEK"; "CHF"; "THB"; "USD")* — Currency

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{total_balance}}` *(decimal)* — Total Balance
- `{{available_balance}}` *(decimal)* — Available Balance
- `{{withheld_balance}}` *(decimal)* — Withheld Balance
- `{{currency}}` *(text)* — Currency
