PayPal Business: How to also allow check payments?

Good morning,

How can I add an option to pay by check rather than PayPal or credit card to this form?

Hi seak1956,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you want your users to pay by check instead of PayPal or Credit Card, you can switch the payment integration on your form to Purchase Order. The Purchase Order payment element will allow you to set up products or collect amounts and you don't need to add a payment vendor integration on your form. You can use this to collect payments offline through a check or wire transfer. Let me show you how:

1. On your Form Builder, go to the Payments tab of the Form Element window.

2. Click the 3 dot icon beside the PayPal Business Payment Integration then select Switch to another gateway.

3. Find the Purchase Order and select it then click the Use Selection button.

4. On the next page click OK then you can review the Additional settings.

If you want to add an option for check payment along with Other Payment Options, you can check out this guide.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

I think you misunderstood. I want to offer the option to either pay by check or PayPal/Credit card. So I would want to set up conditional logic to allow the user to select one of these payment options and depending on their answer the only chosen payment method would appear. Is this possible?

Hello seak1956,

Thanks for getting back to us and clarifying what you're looking for. I understand the issue, and it is possible, but I’ll need a bit of time to work out a solution. I’ll get back to you shortly.

Hello seak1956,

Thanks for patiently waiting. It is possible to allow check, PayPal, and credit card payments all at the same time using conditions, let me show you how to set that up:

1. Rename the existing Form Calculation widget to Check to avoid confusion.
2. Add another Form Calculation widget to be used for PayPal and credit card payments.
3. Hide the new Form Calculation widget.
4. Click the Wand icon on the PayPal field.
5. Select (PayPal or CC) Total Payment Due from the Get Price From dropdown.
6. Click Save in the lower right corner.
7. Add a Single Choice field for the responder to choose how they want to pay.
8. Go to the Settings tab of the Form Builder.
9. Select Conditions from the left panel.
10. Click on the blue + Add Condition bar.
11. Select Show/Hide Field from the list.
12. Create this condition to show the Check Form Calculation widget if the How do you want to pay? field is equal to Check.
13. Create this condition to show the PayPal and the Payment Method field if the How do you want to pay? field is equal to PayPal or Credit Card.
14. Create this Update/Calculate Field conditional logic to copy the value of the (Check) Total Payment Due field into the (PayPal or CC) Total Payment Due field if the How do you want to pay? field is equal to PayPal or Credit Card.
15. Here's what it looks like afterward. You can also check my demo form here.

Give it a try, and let us know if you have any other questions.
