Find Out More About PayPal Checkout v2.0 Beta

The up-coming launch of PayPal Checkout 2.0 means big changes are coming for our customers who use PayPal – and for the better!

The Gravity Forms PayPal Commerce Platform Add-On is changing its name, gaining new features, and will soon become PayPal Checkout. To prepare for this launch, PayPal Checkout has been released as a beta.

As with any beta, we are encouraging our community members to install PayPal Checkout 2.0 beta-2 (on a development site) and let us know how you get on – we think you’re going to love what you find!

PayPal Checkout Add-On 2.0 Beta features include…

  • Support for PayPal Subscriptions
  • Support for PayPal Refunds
  • Support for Payment Authorization and Capture

Please Note: PayPal Checkout 2.0 Beta should NOT be tested on a production site. Please ensure that you only install PayPal Checkout Beta in an isolated sandbox environment.

What Does this Mean for Our Other PayPal Add-Ons?

With the development of PayPal Checkout, it is our intention to consolidate our existing PayPal Add-Ons as follows:

  • At end of this beta period, PayPal Commerce Platform will be officially renamed, and replaced by PayPal Checkout 2.0
  • PayPal Payment Standard will be retired (see below)
  • PayPal Payments Pro will be retired (see below)
  • PayPal Pro remains retired

We will eventually stop all support and development for both PayPal Payment Standard and PayPal Payments Pro, but at this time there is no official date for when this retirement process will begin. We expect it to take some time, and will provide multiple updates about it on this blog, and within our official documentation site.

Therefore, now is a good time to test out PayPal Checkout while it is in beta, and prepare for any future moves to PayPal Checkout 2.0 once released.

Note: All our Payment Add-Ons are available with the Gravity Forms Pro and/or Elite licenses. For more information on the features and add-ons available on these plans, check out our Pro and Elite license pages.
