What it does
Collecting payments on a WordPress site often means bolting a separate checkout onto your forms. This add-on puts the payment step inside the form itself. You build the form with the usual Gravity Forms tools, add the PayPal field, and visitors pay with PayPal or a card when they submit. It handles one-time payments captured on submission as well as recurring plans, and it supports over 100 currencies across more than 200 markets, which helps if your customers or donors are spread across different countries.
Beyond taking payments, the add-on gives you some control over the money after it arrives. You can authorize a payment first and capture the funds later, which suits orders you need to review or fulfill before charging. Refunds can be processed from your WordPress dashboard. It also works with other Gravity Forms add-ons, so you can register a user and charge a fee in one form, or create a post only after payment is approved. Transactions run through PayPal's PCI-compliant checkout.
Best for
- Nonprofits collecting one-time or recurring donations
- Membership sites charging fees at user registration
- Small businesses taking orders or service payments by form
Features
One-time payments
Capture a payment automatically when a visitor submits the form, which works well for orders, services and single donations.
Recurring subscriptions
Set up recurring payments and subscription plans directly in your forms, useful for memberships or ongoing service billing.
Over 100 currencies
Accept payments in over 100 currencies across more than 200 markets, so customers in many countries can pay in a familiar currency.
Authorize now, capture later
Authorize a payment when the form is submitted and capture the funds at a later point, giving you time to review or fulfill the order first.
Refunds from the dashboard
Process refunds directly from your WordPress dashboard without having to handle each one separately inside your PayPal account.
Paid user registration
Register new users and charge them a one-time or recurring fee through a single form, a good fit for paid communities and membership sites.
Posts created after payment
Pair it with Advanced Post Creation so a form generates a post only once the payment has been approved.
PayPal and card checkout
Visitors can pay with PayPal or a credit card through PayPal Checkout, with an accessible payment method select field in the form.

Questions about Gravity Forms PayPal
Can I take recurring payments as well as one-time payments?
Yes. You can capture a single payment when the form is submitted, or set up recurring payments and subscription plans directly in the form. Recurring billing suits memberships, ongoing services or monthly donations.
Can customers pay by credit card, or only with a PayPal account?
The add-on uses PayPal Checkout, which accepts both PayPal and credit card payments. Visitors choose their payment method from a select field in the form before completing the transaction.
Can I hold a payment and charge it later?
Yes. The add-on supports payment authorization and capture, so you can authorize a payment when the form is submitted and capture the funds later. This is helpful when you need to confirm or fulfill an order before charging.
Does it work with other Gravity Forms add-ons?
It integrates with other Gravity Forms add-ons. For example, you can combine it with user registration to charge a fee while creating an account, or with Advanced Post Creation so a post is created only after payment approval.
