How to Integrate PayPal Pro With Jotform

Aside from PayPal Standard, Jotform also integrates with PayPal Payments Pro, or PayPal Pro.

PayPal Pro enables you to accept debit and credit card payments directly from your form, instead of using a PayPal account to pay. These payments can be immediate or authorized for later capture. You can also set it up for recurring subscriptions.
