    Hi i logged out of my PayPal but not able to connect back now. After following all the steps I land on my Pay Pal account page which doesn't have any instructions on how to move ahead.

    Please help fixing this issue.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I suggest that you try logging out of your JotForm account and logging back in. Additionally, you could clear your browser's cache.

    I suppose that you have tried connecting your PayPal account using the button from the Payment Widget. Is that correct?

    Feel free to provide us with any relevant screenshots that would speed up solving your issue.

    If you encounter any problems, let us know. We will gladly assist you further.

    Thank you,

    Simon

    Still doesn't work. After I log into my Paypal account on jotform, it asks me to finish the setup on the Paypal website. But there arnt any instructions mentioned on the Paypal page. So I'm not able to connect to paypal with Jotforms.

    TRIED SCREENSHOT BUT YOUR WEBSITE SAYS FORBIDDEN " SPAM POST"

    Please check the screenshot here to connect to the PayPal Integration:

    Have you verified the PayPal email address?

    Note that the Paypal checkout integration requires a Premier or Business type Paypal account. If you have not upgraded your Paypal account yet, I'd suggest reaching Paypal and ask them for the upgrade.

    Let us know how it goes?

    Thanks.

    I tried but it doesn't connect at all in the Test mode. I have a business account only. Infact I was able to connect jotform earlier and even did 1 transaction. I wanted to add some more features like Cash on Delivery and credit card so I logged out once. Ever since then I am not able to login again.

    Please note that PayPal has a different process for Test mode which requires you to create a sandbox account. Kindly check the guide below on how to test your PayPal form.

    Please check the screen shot( which i have trying to upload but its forbidden ). After clicking on " complete your setup now" it takes my dashboard on the Paypal website and thats it. Nothing happens thereafter!

    Hi Delhibcmumbai,

    We have not received your screenshot.

    Kindly follow this on how to post a screenshot:

    May we also ask for console log errors after you tried reconnecting to PayPal.

    Hello,

    I suggest that you share any relevant screenshots with us through an external file hosting service (eg. Google Drive). I do not know why you cannot post screenshots to our forum.

    We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Thank you,

    Simon

    Unfortunately, the Google Drive link has restricted access. Kindly change the permission on the Google Drive. Also, it would be best if you can share a screencast/video instead so that the entire steps is recorded and not just the error.

    Also, as mentioned, kindly make sure that you connect your PayPal account in Live Mode and not in Test Mode.

    Thank you for sharing a screenshot. Based on it, it requires you to complete some setup within your PayPal account.

    Please note that such setup is already on PayPal side. Kindly contact PayPal support and check with them on how you can start receiving payments.
