Enjoy secure payment collection by integrating your form with your PayPal account. Results collected on your form will be associated with PayPal payment information so that you have a complete view of your customers’ orders. Formsite PayPal order forms are a low-cost option for simplifying ecommerce transactions.

Customers will go from the Formsite order review page to PayPal for payment, then can be redirected to a custom success page. With the PayPal Pro integration, users never have to leave your form and can submit their payment directly from the order review page.

Common Questions

How do I enable PayPal?

Start by adding Order Form items to the form to make an order form. Next, go to the Form Settings -> Payments page, then click the PayPal logo and follow the instructions to enable the integration.

Do I need PayPal or PayPal Pro?

The majority of people and businesses will use the PayPal integration. If you know that your PayPal account uses PayFlow or Website Payments Pro, you use PayPal Pro.

Does PayPal collect credit cards or just PayPal payments?

PayPal collects payments using both. The initial settings in your PayPal account won’t allow credit cards, but you can go to the Settings -> Selling Tools page and set “PayPal Account Optional” to collect credit cards.

Can I set up subscriptions or recurring payments with PayPal?

Yes, the integration settings allow for recurring payments with either indefinite or a preset number of payments.

Are payments made with the PayPal integration secure and PCI compliant?

Yes, PayPal payments occur at PayPal and the status is sent back to the form’s Results Table, so the customer’s payment information is never saved in the result. Therefore, PCI compliance is ensured.

Why does my Notification show that the payment is incomplete?

The Notifications send after the form is submitted and before the payment by default. If you want to delay the email until after the successful payment, you can enable the conditional logic on the Notification and set it to send after successful payment.
