    Hello,

    You can return the payment reference and use it on the Thank you page as you can follow the steps below:

    1. Set up your PayPal payment on your form.

    2. Go to "Preference" menu on the form builder and enable the Send Post Data option as you can see the following screenshot below:

    This step is for HTTP PST data to the Thank You page. You can receive the payment references here.

    3. Set up your Thank You page. You can redirect it to the external link or you can use the default thank you page. Add the PayPal form field to the page as you can see the screenshot below:
