    I use pay pal for all of our transactions and currently when the client hits the submit button it takes them to pay pal for payment. How can I make the client pay at pay pal before they hit the submit button?


    Hopefully this makes sense...

    Thanks

    When the 'PayPal' standard integration is used, the user is redirected to the PayPal payment page upon the Submit button click. This is an expected behavior.

    We have recently added a 'PayPal Checkout' integration. When the 'PayPal Checkout' integration is used, the user authorizes the payment in a PayPal Pop-Up Window, then the payment is finalized once they submit the form.

    So you may consider using the 'PayPal Checkout' integration. The 'PayPal Checkout' configuration is a little more complicated, but it should not be an issue if you follow our guide:
