What it does
Taking payments through a contact or order form usually means juggling API keys and separate checkout tools. This add-on, built for sites that already run Ninja Forms, connects your PayPal Business account with one click, so there are no credentials to hunt down. It was developed in collaboration with PayPal's Partner Engineers, and it works whether you already have a PayPal account or are setting one up for the first time. Once connected, you add the PayPal Checkout action to any form and choose the payment options for that form.
Amounts can be fixed prices, totals calculated from form input, or a field where visitors enter their own figure, which suits donations. Buyers can pay with standard PayPal, PayPal Credit, Pay Later, Venmo, guest checkout, on-page credit card fields, or bank debits such as iDEAL and Sofort, across more than 25 currencies. Sandbox mode lets you test forms before going live, and PayPal transaction IDs appear in submission details. You can map order descriptions, buyer notes, shipping addresses and payer email, and sites using the older PayPal Express add-on can migrate over.
Best for
- WordPress sites already using Ninja Forms
- Nonprofits collecting donations with custom amounts
- Small businesses selling services or products through forms
Features
One-click account connection
Connect your PayPal Business account with a single click, with no need to find or paste API keys or other credentials.
Flexible payment amounts
Charge a fixed price, a total calculated from form input, or an amount the visitor types in, which works well for donations.
Several payment methods
Offer standard PayPal, PayPal Credit, Pay Later, Venmo, guest checkout, and bank debits such as iDEAL and Sofort.
On-page credit card fields
Accept credit card payments directly on the form page, so customers are not redirected to another site to finish paying.
Sandbox testing
Run your payment forms in a simulated PayPal environment to check the whole checkout flow before you start taking real payments.
Support for 25+ currencies
Take payments in over 25 currencies, so international customers can pay in their local currency.
Transaction IDs in submissions
See PayPal transaction IDs inside each form submission in your WordPress dashboard, which makes record keeping and lookups simpler.
Order and buyer data mapping
Map form fields to the PayPal order description, note to buyer, shipping address and guest payer email.
