To get started, head to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the Add-Ons page.
From there, install and activate the PayPal Checkout Add-On.
Then, head to the Gravity Forms settings and select ‘PayPal Checkout’.
From here, you can select ‘Connect with PayPal’ to sync Gravity Forms with PayPal.
Next, you can easily create a new form using the ‘PayPal Checkout Form’ template.
You can tailor this form to your liking, including customizing the products you are selling and the appearance of the PayPal Smart Payment Buttons.
When you’re done customizing everything, save your changes and head to this form’s settings and select ‘PayPal Checkout’.
From here, you can edit the default feed for this form to configure the data that it will send to PayPal.
Be sure to give the feed a descriptive name, then set the Transaction Type to ‘Products and Services’.

Next, map the Payment Amount to its corresponding form field and choose whether or not you want to enable the ‘Authorize only’ option.
If this option is enabled, payments will only be authorized when a user submits this form.
The payment can then be captured by clicking the ‘capture’ button on the entry details page.
Then, map the Billing Information fields to their corresponding form fields and select whether or not you would like to prompt the buyer to include a shipping address.
There are further conditional logic and user registration options that you can customize, if needed.
When everything is good to go, save your settings and embed your form on a page or post.
