    Which of the widgets do you want to tie to PayPal:

    Appointment Slotshttps://www.jotform.com/widgets/appointment-slots 

    Ticket Purchaseshttps://www.jotform.com/widgets/ticket-purchases 

    Gift Registryhttps://www.jotform.com/widgets/gift-registry 

    Quantity Gift Registryhttps://www.jotform.com/widgets/quantity-gift-registry 

    Could you please confirm if by "tie paypal to any of those widgets?" you mean putting a value on each option to calculate the total and pass it to the PayPal field?

    This is possible through a Form Calculation widget, and conditions, where the total is then passed to the PayPal field.

    Here is an example with the Appointment Slots widget, where I have limited the selection to one only:

    So, assuming that all the options(Low Novice, High Novice, Intermediate, and Upper Intermediate) will have the same value, we can create a condition to populate a total into the "Total" field(which is a Form Calculation widget), example:

    Result:

    Let us know if you need more help.

    You can add form calculation widget in form to calculate the amount based on the selection of "Ticket Purchase" widget. The calculated amount can then be passed on to the PayPal payment field. The following guide should help you:

    Pass calculation to payment field: https://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-Pass-a-Calculation-to-a-Payment-Field 

    You may also explain your requirement a bit more in detail on how you want the form to calculate for each options you have added in "Ticket Purchase" widget and we will try to help you with a demo form. 

    We will wait for your response.

    I tried adding the "Perform Calculation" form and viewed the link video and i do not see where i can add it to the Ticket Purchase widget.  Am i doing something wrong?  I want our form so if a person checks off a box it has a running total and tied to PayPal.1584059641Capture Screenshot 10

    You will not add the widget to the PayPal field directly, instead you need to perform the calculations using the Form Calculation widget where you can include the widget and then pass the calculation to the payment field. 

    Kindly refer to the guides my colleague shared above:

    Perform calculation and including the widgets in the Form Calculation widget: https://www.jotform.com/help/259-How-to-Perform-Form-Calculation-Using-a-Widget 

    This does not have anything to do with the payment field. 

    Pass calculation to payment field, this is about the Form Calculation widget, you can pass the calculation to the payment field : https://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-Pass-a-Calculation-to-a-Payment-Field 

    If you have questions, let us know.

    Okay, I cloned the form and was able to get all the FORM CALCUATIONS applied to all the fields i want (PLAYER REGISTERATION, BEER LEAGUE CLUB ENTRY, and DONATIONS).  The problem now is when i go to hit PAY it takes me to the THANK YOU page and not PayPal.  Suggestions?

    Are you referring to this form?

    https://www.jotform.com/build/200664247753154

    This form does not have any payment field in it. You have to add the Standard PayPal and then pass the Form Calculation value to it.

    Please add the widget in the form before the submit button inorder to get redirected to the PayPal page.

    You can pass the calculation to the payment field : https://www.jotform.com/help/275-How-to-Pass-a-Calculation-to-a-Payment-Field 

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks.

    ok got the paypal entered back in but how do i take all the totals and roll them to the GRAND TOTAL field?

    To get the sum of the total fields, please check my screencast below.

    You can also hide total and grand total fields so your users will only see the total in the PayPal payment field.

    Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.
