What it does
Standard PayPal integrations send customers away to PayPal's own pages to finish paying. Some site owners would rather keep the whole checkout on their own domain, where the look and flow stay consistent from start to finish. This add-on handles that by processing card payments through PayPal Pro while the customer stays on your site. It suits online stores, subscription services and other businesses that already use GetPaid to collect payments and want an on-site card option.
The plugin works as a payment gateway inside GetPaid, so it fits into the payment workflow you already have there. You need an active PayPal Pro account, since transactions run through PayPal's payment infrastructure, which handles PCI compliance on the processing side. Setup is a matter of configuring the gateway with your account details, and documentation with a getting started guide is available. Sample PayPal test credit card numbers let you check your setup before taking live payments.
Best for
- Sites already using GetPaid for invoices or payments
- Businesses with a PayPal Pro account
- Subscription services wanting checkout kept on their own site

Questions about PayPal Pro Payment Gateway
Do customers leave my site to pay?
No. The gateway processes credit card payments through PayPal Pro while customers stay on your website, so they never get redirected to the PayPal site to finish checking out.
Do I need a special PayPal account?
Yes. The gateway requires a PayPal Pro account. A standard PayPal account is not enough, because the on-site card processing relies on PayPal Pro's features.
Does it work without GetPaid?
No. This is an add-on for the GetPaid plugin and works as a payment gateway inside it, so GetPaid needs to be set up on your site first.
Can I test payments before going live?
Yes. The plugin comes with sample PayPal test credit card numbers so you can run test transactions and troubleshoot your configuration during development.
