ARForms PayPal Addon

Description

The PayPal gateway for ARForms processes one-time and recurring charges directly in forms, with IPN support for automatic payment validation and dynamic charge calculation based on fields filled by the visitor. It serves those who sell courses, services, donations, or registrations via form and need to charge within the submission flow, without redirecting the visitor to external WooCommerce or EDD checkouts.

Key Features of ARForms PayPal Addon

• IPN with automatic validation
  Receives the PayPal Instant Payment Notification confirmation and updates the entry status without manual intervention.
• Native recurring billing
  Configures daily, monthly or annual cycles, with an optional trial period before the first charge.
• Dynamic per-field amount
  Calculates the charge total based on the entered fields, supporting conditional sums across multiple fields.
• Sandbox and Live mode
  Switches between PayPal’s test and production environments directly from the gateway settings screen.
• Exportable transaction panel
  Sorts, searches and filters payments by date, displays payer email and name, and exports the records.

Benefits of ARForms PayPal Addon

• Charge within the form itself
  Eliminates the need to build a WooCommerce or EDD checkout to receive payments for registration or simple sales.
• Recurring revenue for subscriptions
  Caters to clubs, mentorships, and monthly donations without relying on a full membership plugin.
• International charge reach
  Accepts payments in 25 different currencies, serving customers outside of Brazil without manual adjustment.
• Safe testing before actual charges
  Allows you to simulate transactions in the Sandbox and validate the flow before enabling real payments.

Who is the ARForms PayPal Addon recommended for?

• Those who sell courses, mentorships or consulting and want to receive the fee directly in the registration form.
• Those who collect one-time or recurring donations for causes, NGOs, content creators, or independent projects.
• Those who need to charge event, workshop or standalone class registrations without building a full WooCommerce store.

How to Download the ARForms PayPal Addon

The ARForms PayPal Addon is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, choose the file and activate it. Remember that ARForms must be installed and active beforehand, since this component extends gateway options on the form configuration screen.

For those who have already built the registration, collection, or sales flow in ARForms and want to turn the form into an actual payment point, this add-on removes the step of redirecting to another payment plugin. Dynamic calculation, IPN, and subscription structure cover everything from a fixed one-time fee to recurring plans with an initial trial period.
