Find Out More About the PayPal Checkout Add-On v2.0 Beta
We are extremely excited about the upcoming launch of the Gravity Forms PayPal Checkout Add-On. This release will signal the start of big changes for our customers who use PayPal, which we know you’re going to love!
At the core of this launch is the Gravity Forms PayPal Commerce Platform Add-On, which is changing its name, gaining new features, and will become PayPal Checkout.
As well as all the current PayPal Commerce Platform Add-On functionality, with PayPal Checkout you will also find…
- Support for PayPal Subscriptions
- Support for PayPal Refunds
- Support for Payment Authorization and Capture
With these additional features, the PayPal Checkout Add-On will position itself as the number one PayPal Add-On available to our customers.
Test PayPal Checkout v2.0 Beta Today!
As with any beta, we are encouraging our community members to install and test PayPal Checkout 2.0 beta-3 (on a development site). We would love to hear your feedback so make sure you let us know how you get on.

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.
