    Hi

    I have a form with a payment field.  When they hit submit they have to make a paypal payment.  Is there a field in the report which shows if payment has actually been made and received?

    What would the content look like in the field if the payment was successful?

    Thanks

    When you setup a payment integration on your form, JotForm simply sends the data on the 3rd party payment processor, we do not processed them in our end. 

    So in your case, if someone successfully submitted the form AND completed the payment, then you will directly receive an email from Paypal that you received funds or payment, you should see the funds or payment directly on your Paypal account. These submissions will show up in your submissions page in your JotForm account.

    To learn more about setting up a payment integration, you can check this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/165-Setting-Up-Your-First-Order-Form 

    Here's a sample page when they click the submit button, they will be redirected to the Paypal's payment gateway:
