I want one Submit button to both redirect to PayPal and email the contents of the JotForm to me

    It seems like you can only do one or the other:

    (1) Have a PayPal submit button that redirects to PayPal

    or

    (2) Have a submit button that emails you the content of the JotForm

    I don't want this to be an either or, I want one button that does both.

    Do I need to add an onClick function to the submit button in order for this to work?

    Are you referring to the notification email you receive when someone submitted to your form? 

    You can create payment options by following this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/120-How-to-Set-up-PayPal-Along-with-Other-Payment-Options

    One option will go to PayPal and the other option will just submit the form. Is that what you're trying to achieve?

    I'm asking once someone makes their Payment on PayPal, will I get both the PayPal notification and the JotForm answers that they filled out sent to me in an email notification.

    I want BOTH, I don't want one vs. the other, I want both the notification that someone just made a payment and a notification with the form responses sent to me.

    Is there special code that needs to be set up in order to make that happen.

    You can create multiple notification emails to receive emails from PayPal notification and JotForm answer when someone submitted to your form.

    To create additional notification email, please follow this guide: Setting-up-Email-Notifications

    You can also enable the Pending Payment Email feature in the Payment Settings:
