PayPal Forms

Last Update: April 2, 2012

Creating PayPal Forms with JotForm is quick and easy. You can even create them with a free JotForm account. So, what type of payment forms can you create with JotForm PayPal Integration?
  1. Single product  
  2. Multiple products (choose many products and the total will be calculated)
  3. Multiple product options (choose one of the provided options)
  4. Single subscription
  5. Multiple subscription options
  6. Donations
In addition to all these options you can also add options to each question. So, if you sell t-shirts, you can have options like quantity,size and color for each product.

To create a new PayPal form, open the “Payment Tools” toolbox on the left side and drag “PayPal” icon into your form. You will see two options on the Payment Tools. “PayPal” option allows you to create PayPal forms for PayPal Standard. If you have a  “Paypal Payment Pro”, you can use the second option to get users to enter credit card details right on your page.


Payment Wizard: Account Information

When you add the PayPal field to your form Payment Wizard will launch automatically. You will be asked to enter your PayPal account information.
Payment Account: Enter your PayPal account email address
Need Payer Address: If you will be shipping a product to the user or need address for some other purpose, select Yes.
Currency: Select the currency in which your products will be priced in.



Payment Wizard: Payment Options

To understand what types of payment forms you can create with JotForm, see Payment Form Types page.


A product can be anything that requires one time payment . Example products might be shipped goods, digital goods, event registrations.

A subscription on the other hand will get users to pay you a recurring payments . Once signed-up user’s PayPal account will send you payment periodically. You can get these payments weekly, monthly or yearly.

A donation is also a one time payment just like a product, but users can set their own price .




Payment Wizard: Products

Enter your product prices and options. Each product must have a name and price. You can also have an image for your product.

Click on “Add New Options to add additional choices for users to select. For example, if you are selling a t-shirt, you can ask users to select quantity, t-shirt size and color.



Payment Wizard: Thank you

Once you complete all steps on the payment wizard, you will see a final confirmation page.




Form Builder Options:

Here is how our finalized looks like:




You can edit label of your question by clicking on “My Products” or click on the toolbar buttons to configure your question. You can also click on the wizard icon on your question to re-launch your wizard and update your product details.

It takes only couple of minutes to create a PayPal Form with JotForm. It is also highly flexible. You can create multiple product forms with many options to choose. If you have any questions about Paypal forms please feel free to contact JotForm support and we would be happy to help you.

earcandybaby (November 10, 2010 at 05:35 PM)

Where is the information on the form. I'm filling out and it's redirecting me to paypal, but my information on the forming is not arriving in my inbox -- I've also check SPAM. Am I not getting the information until the payment has been received. I receive a test, but it doesn't have the data either.


   
aytekin (November 11, 2010 at 12:57 AM)

The email is only sent after successful payment. If the user fills the form and redirected to the PayPal page, but not complete the payment, the email will not be sent.

You can see those on the Submissions page using the "Pending Submissions" button.

Right-click the item you want to move on the list and you'll see the option to move it up in order or down on order.

I get error from PayPal every time the form submitting "The seller accepts encrypted website payments only. You cannot pay the seller through un-encrypted buttons." Even when its secure form (ex https://www.jotform.com/form/ etc.).


   
BMF_Alex (March 20, 2011 at 08:59 AM)

You should add another payment tool. This tool allows users to pick through various options such as; Paypal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discovery. The user simply needs to choose their card. Put in their card number, than there card security number. As they fill out that part, a submit button will be at the bottom saying "Pay". And the transaction gets sent to the owner's email. It's that simple!

Hello!
we have chosen an annual payment of subscription, PayPal will send out new payment automatically about a year and then next year again? If we delete a member in the form will then be cleared in PayPal.

If I place a standard form (name, address, zip, etc) on my home page (non-secure) with my Paypal submit button at the bottom of the form, will the shipping information (from my page) "pre-populate" the PayPal secure order form page? (So that the customer does not have to fill in the same information -again).

I hope that was intelligible! :)

I have downloaded and manually amended the css and html on my form, but I didn't add the paypal account email beforehand, is there a way of adding my email without going through the payment wizard? I have done lots to it since then and don't want to lose the changes. Many thanks!

I would like to use paypal for users to pay their registration fee. Is there a way to change the fee amount based on a time period? For example, Jan 1-Feb 29 early registration $250
March 1- April 1 Regular $300
After April 1, $350? Also certain people do not have to pay so could I have them skip the paypal registration? And only complete registration process for the others after they have paid?

I have created a PayPal form for a product I sell where I require several pieces of info from the customer to create their product. However, my customers often want to buy more than one. I would rather they not have to go into PayPal to pay for each one seperately.

I am posting the form on a Yola site. Is there some way to submit the forms and put the products in a cart until the customer has finished their order?

Hello! My form is all coming perfect so far, I love this site. However, I have one small question. My form is only a PayPal form selling t-shirts, but I don't know of any way for a person to buy multiple shirts of different colors or sizes. I just have the PayPal box to show Quantity / Color / Size. What if someone wants 2 red larges and a small blue? Do they have to do a new form? Can you only get around this by adding more items, like a Blue shirt, a Red shirt, a White shirt, etc. and having quantity and size an option for each? thanks so much for any help, I really appreciate it!

Hello,

I am obviously missing something crucial. When I attempt to fill out and test the form. I hit 'submit' and am given a '404 (page not found) error. Do I need to create the 'submit.php'?

my link if that helps: http://sunflowerfarminfo.com/Summer_Camp_form/Summer_Camp_Form.html

Thank You!
Dean

PS - trying to set up standard paypal
