Brand New Release: PayPal Checkout Add-On 2.7
By Gravity Forms
Published September 6, 2023
We are pleased to announce the release of PayPal Checkout Add-On 2.7. With this update you’ll find a number of additions and fixes, including an important change to the number funding sources that are displayed by default…
- Updated the number of funding sources displayed by default to avoid errors when processing payments.
- Added support for a new PayPal event.
Funding Sources Update
With the release of 2.7, the PayPal Checkout Add-On will no longer pass all of the PayPal funding options to your website by default. This is to avoid errors when processing payments.
Payment options displayed by default will include…
- Credit and Debit Cards
- PayPal Credit (US and UK)
- Pay Later
- Sepa
- iDEAL
- Venmo
The PayPal Checkout Add-On will continue to support all of the existing PayPal funding sources, but they will not automatically display on your site.
Filter Required for Additional Payment Options
If you are currently using any payment methods that are not listed above, once you update to 2.7 you will need to use this filter to enable these payment sources…
add_filter( 'gform_ppcp_enable_funding', function( $sources ) {
$sources[ 'source_id' ] = 'Source Name';
return $sources;
});
Here you can see an example of how to enable payments with Sofort using this filter…
add_filter( 'gform_ppcp_enable_funding', function( $sources ) {
$sources[ 'sofort' ] = 'Sofort';
return $sources;
});
However, bear in mind, PayPal always has the final say in determining which funding sources are shown to each visitor.
It is also important to note that this update results from an error that is triggered when too many funding sources are active. If you choose to activate additional payment options, make sure you’re also deactivating sources you don’t need to reduce the risk of any payment processing errors.
For more information on how to enable additional funding sources, check out our PayPal Add-On documentation.
