The Gravity Forms PayPal Checkout Add-On is the official Gravity Forms extension that integrates PayPal payment processing directly into your WordPress site's forms. Designed for those who need to charge for products, services, donations, or subscriptions without redirecting users to confusing external processes, this add-on turns any form into a complete, professional payment gateway.
With this add-on, you can easily accept one-time and recurring payments. It supports PayPal Checkout, credit and debit cards, Venmo, PayPal Pay Later, and multiple country-specific payment methods like Giropay, EPS, BLIK, or Bancontact. This makes it a global solution that operates in over 200 markets and accepts more than 100 currencies, ideal for businesses of any size looking to expand their international reach.
Among its most notable features are payment authorization and capture, perfect for deposits and down payments, and the ability to process refunds directly from the WordPress dashboard, without needing to access PayPal. It also allows you to set up recurring subscriptions with custom schedules, making it easy to create predictable revenue for memberships, ongoing services, or recurring donations.
Integration with other Gravity Forms add-ons further expands its possibilities. For example, you can combine payment collection with advanced post creation, so a post is only published after payment is confirmed, or link it with user registration to create accounts only after a successful transaction. It is also compatible with external services like CRMs, allowing you to automatically save customer data after each payment.
Fraud protection is another major benefit. Thanks to PayPal's real-time intelligence and adaptive learning, the add-on monitors transactions to protect your business from fraudulent activity, while PayPal handles all global compliance regulations, including PCI, AML, and OFAC sanctions.
Setup is intuitive: install the add-on, connect it to your PayPal account in Live or Sandbox mode for testing, add the payment field to your form, and create a feed that maps form data to the transaction. With predefined payment form templates, you can have your gateway operational in minutes.
If you manage bookings, event registrations, one-time sales, memberships, or recurring contributions from WordPress, the Gravity Forms PayPal Checkout Add-On offers you a clear, secure, and measurable payment flow, directly integrated into the form experience you already know.
