PayPal Upgrade Guide

This document guides you through the process of migrating from legacy to the latest PayPal Checkout solution, including configuring the Checkout flow, Credit & Debit Card processing, and Pay with Venmo.

Requirements & Installation

PayPal Checkout provides users with a simple and secure checkout experience that doesn't require them to navigate away from a website or mobile app to make a payment.

New features like Smart Payment Buttons automatically display common payment methods, such as Venmo and PayPal Credit, making it easier for users to complete payments.


Prerequisites

  • You must have a PayPal business account to use the PayPal integration and collect money through your Jotform payment forms.
  • PPCP Advanced Credit Card is only available for verified Business accounts, so if you toggle on the Show Debit or Credit Card option, ensure that you have a verified PayPal Business account. Otherwise, your form will display an error message that says Hosted Fields Are Not Eligible. Our guide on PayPal: Activate Business Account has all the details.
  • The Fetch Subscriptions from PayPal Account toggle under the Additional Gateway Settings when choosing Sell Subscription from the Payment Type can only fetch Fixed-based Pricing items. It can’t fetch items that use Quantity, Volume, or Tiered pricing.

Whether you’re creating a new form or updating an existing one, you can add and set up the PayPal payment field. Follow below steps to get started.
