Just payment is fine...a formal invoice is not needed. I just need to be able to pass off to paypal the amount they owe.

You'll need to at least handle the integration piece outside of Quickbase then in terms of actually interacting with Paypal. Pipelines can't handle Oauth authentication, so if you go that route you'd need to setup your own custom integration outside of Quickbase entirely to actually handle the Paypal transaction. Keep in mind that many applications such as Paypal given the nature of their platform will require you to register your application/integration for Production use
The only things Pipelines could do is actually send out the request to your server with the necessary information for your script to process. Pipelines might also be able to be the listener for webhooks coming from Paypal so you could process the payment recording.

It does look like Stripe has an API Key based authentication system which can be handled through Pipelines.

Without going through their entire API document I'm not 100% sure which endpoints you would need and so you'd need to map it out in more detail. I quick scan looks like the PaymentsIntent is what you'd want to focus on for a single payment transaction. Pipelines would be able to make the request to their API and log the information accordingly so you could write back to QB once it has been paid.
