What it does
Many small sites need to take money through a simple form: a donation page, a service booking or an order for a few products. This addon turns a WPForms form into a payment form. You build the form in the drag-and-drop builder, add payment fields, and connect it to your PayPal account. When someone submits the form, they are sent to PayPal to finish paying, and sensitive payment details are entered on PayPal's site instead of your own forms.
You can start from the Billing/Order or PayPal Payment templates or design your own form. Settings let you pick the payment type, test in sandbox mode and set a custom cancel URL. Conditional logic can trigger the PayPal payment only when certain choices are made. Note that WPForms has deprecated PayPal Standard in favor of its PayPal Commerce addon, so this option suits sites already using it or wanting a familiar PayPal flow.
Best for
- Nonprofits accepting donations through a simple form
- Service businesses taking payment with bookings or orders
- Small shops selling a few physical products
Features
PayPal on any form
Add PayPal payment processing to any WPForms form so visitors can pay for products, services, donations or event registrations right after submitting.
Ready-made payment templates
Start with the Billing/Order or PayPal Payment form templates, or build a custom payment form from scratch in the drag-and-drop builder.
Conditional payment logic
Use conditional logic to send users to PayPal only when they make specific selections, so forms with optional purchases behave correctly.
Payment details stay on PayPal
Card and account details are collected on PayPal's own site, which keeps your forms PCI compliant and keeps that data off your site.
Configurable checkout settings
Choose the payment type (products, services or donations), switch on sandbox mode for testing, and set a custom cancel URL for the checkout flow.
Multiple pricing fields
Combine Single Item, Checkbox Items, Dropdown Items and Total fields to handle fixed prices, add-ons and buyer choices in one form.
Shipping address collection
Ask buyers for a shipping address when needed, which helps when you sell physical items through a form.
Payments in your dashboard
View and manage collected payments inside WPForms without leaving the WordPress admin area.

Questions about WPForms PayPal Standard
Do my customers enter card details on my site?
No. After submitting the form, customers are sent to PayPal's site to complete payment, so sensitive details are entered there. This keeps your forms PCI compliant and keeps payment data off your WordPress site.
Can I test payments before going live?
Yes. The addon includes a sandbox mode for testing the payment flow. You can also set the payment type and a custom cancel URL so the checkout behaves the way you want before real customers use it.
Is PayPal Standard still the recommended PayPal option for WPForms?
WPForms has deprecated the PayPal Standard integration and recommends its PayPal Commerce addon for new setups. PayPal Standard still works, and it remains a simple option for sites that already use it or prefer the classic PayPal redirect checkout.
Can a form charge only when certain options are chosen?
Yes. Conditional logic lets you trigger the PayPal payment only when users make specific selections. Combined with Checkbox Items, Dropdown Items and Total fields, this works well for optional purchases or mixed free and paid entries.
Is WPForms PayPal Standard free?
The code of WPForms PayPal Standard is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
