Question regarding paypal payment widget

    I just built a form, and at the bottom, I put a Paypal option at the bottom, so when someone clicks submit, it redirects them to Paypal, so they can pay me.  

    My question is, once they complete the payment transaction, does the form then send the data they filled out to my email?

     

    Thanks.

    That would depend on your email setup.

    Here are the steps:

    1. When someone submits the jotform, they are taken to the PayPal to make the payment.
    2. This creates the incomplete payment entry in your submissions
    3. Once they make the payment the incomplete payment created in the step 2 is moved into the submissions.
    4. Email is sent to you to notify you of the payment, with the details that you have included.

    You could set it all up to get email notifications even if the payment is not created.

    These are relevant guides that will give you a better insight into PayPal and payments:

    So, if I understand correctly, once they complete the payment, it will then send the submission form to me?

     

    Here is one of the forms that I created https://secure.jotform.us/form/50238048616151

    I used the first "Paypal" option on the bottom.
