Description

The PayPal Standard gateway adds billing fields to Everest Forms forms, processing one-time and recurring payments (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly) directly through the site’s PayPal account. The extension connects in sandbox mode for testing before go-live, allows configuring custom redirection when the user cancels the transaction at checkout, and centralizes in the Everest Forms dashboard the record of each completed transaction.

Main Features

  • Dedicated Payment Field
    Inserts PayPal billing block in the forms, calculating the amount based on filled fields.
  • Native Recurring Payments
    Configures automatic charges at daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly frequency without additional plugin.
  • Sandbox Test Mode
    Allows simulating transactions with sandbox credentials before activating the live environment.
  • Cancellation Redirection
    Defines the URL to which the user is sent if they abandon the PayPal checkout.
  • Configuration in Form Settings
    Enables the gateway directly in each form’s settings, without editing files.

PayPal Standard Benefits

  • Monetization without a Full Store
    Charges subscriptions, fees, and donations through the form, eliminating the need for WooCommerce installation.
  • Predictable Revenue with Recurrence
    Automates periodic renewals and reduces manual work from charging the same customer multiple times.
  • Secure Validation Before Launch
    The sandbox environment prevents configuration errors that would compromise real transactions at go-live.
  • Quick Implementation
    All setup happens in the Everest Forms dashboard, without needing a developer or custom code.

Who is it for?

  • Course creators, info products, and digital services that sell through forms.
  • Subscription-based businesses, monthly fees, membership dues, or recurring charges.
  • NGOs, social projects, and independent professionals receiving donations or individual payments through the website.
  • Small businesses that accept PayPal without needing to install a complete e-commerce platform.

Geared towards those who use Everest Forms as a central capture point, the extension eliminates the need to install a complete store when the goal is simply to charge a subscription, donation, or recurring fee. The result is a streamlined flow: the user fills out the form, is directed to PayPal, completes the payment, and returns to the site with the transaction record available in the admin dashboard.
