How to add a PayPal widget to WordPress

Already have a PayPal Business account? Connect the PayPal checkout add-on with the press of a button. Forget hunting for credentials or secret keys — just click and connect! No PayPal account? No worries. You can create one and connect as you activate the PayPal Checkout add-on. Either way, you’ll be connected to PayPal in moments with the capability to test in sandbox mode or go straight to accepting live payments.​

You can connect and activate the Ninja Forms PayPal Checkout extension in a few easy steps:

1. On your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Ninja Forms and select PayPal Onboarding. Connect your PayPal Business account to start accepting payments.
2. Click on“Begin LIVE Onboarding Authorization to launch a sign-up or login, and follow the steps to log in or create an account.
3. Select a form to add and configure a PayPal Checkout action. Click Add New Action from the Emails & Actions tab and select PayPal Checkout.

On the actions setting window, you will be able to set up a new action to:

Configure the payment type you want to appear for the customer on checkout

Choose where you want to get the total amount from:

• Fixed amount: If the payment is a static amount that doesn’t change from purchase to purchase, select the Fixed Amount option and enter the amount you wish to charge.
• Calculation: If you charge variable amounts per purchase, select Calculation, and then choose the right option from the dropdown.
• Field: If the amount is a purchase total contained in a particular field on the form, select the Field option and then select the field containing the amount from the dropdown.

Choose the payment methods you want to offer on each form

Pick and choose which payment methods you provide from each form. Want Pay Later enabled on only one form? One form to offer PayPal credit only, while another includes a Venmo option? Just Venmo on another? No problem. Mix and match options to your heart’s content. Payment options include:

• Standard PayPal payment
• PayPal Credit
• Pay Later
• Venmo
• Guest Checkout
• Bank debit:
• Bank redirects like iDEAL and Sofort

Enable Sandbox mode to test payment functionality

Before going live, you can test your form using Sandbox to try out transactions without actual money transfers. Enable the option under the Advanced dropdown, and once satisfied with the capability, turn it off to accept live payments.
