Take Online Payments With WordPress and PayPal

The Gravity Forms PayPal Checkout Add-On gives you an easy way to take online payments on your WordPress website.

Once you’ve installed and enabled the PayPal Checkout Add-On, you can then easily add payment fields to any new and existing forms.

Thanks to the extensive functionality of the add-on and the PayPal Checkout service, there are many benefits of setting up this integration, including:

  • Diverse Payment Options – Use PayPal Checkout to offer your customers an array of payment options. Whether it’s through PayPal, Venmo, Pay Later alternatives, or country-specific payment methods, your clients can conveniently pay in many different ways.
  • One-Time Payments – Use your forms to sell products and one-time services by collecting single payments with PayPal.
  • Subscription Payments – Set up and collect recurring donations and subscription payments on your WordPress website with ease.
  • Authorize and Capture – The ability to authorize a payment and then capture or collect it later makes managing down payments and deposits in your WordPress dashboard straightforward.
  • Refund Management – Ensure customer satisfaction by promptly processing refunds directly from your WordPress dashboard.
  • Integrate With Other Gravity Forms Add-Ons – Deploy the PayPal Checkout Add-On in tandem with other add-ons like the Advanced Post Creation Add-On to gather payments upon post creation, and the User Registration Add-On to charge a registration fee or set up subscription payments during account creation, all seamlessly through a single form.

As you can see, the PayPal Checkout Add-On is suitable for many scenarios. Whether you want to sell physical products and digital downloads online, collect recurring fees for access to membership content or process donations, it’s all possible with WordPress, Gravity Forms, and PayPal Checkout.
