Description

The PayPal Standard add-on connects WPForms forms to the PayPal payment processor, allowing you to charge for sign-ups, donations, and orders directly through the form without having to set up a full cart. Amounts can be fixed or calculated from the fields the user fills in, and the user is redirected to the PayPal checkout to complete the transaction with a card or account balance.

Key Features of PayPal Standard

  • Form-based billing
    Adds to WPForms the option to process one-time payments directly when the form is submitted.
  • Fixed or calculated amounts
    Lets you set a fixed price or add up the total from the fields filled in by the user.
  • Conditional payment logic
    Triggers billing only when certain rules from the form fields are met.
  • Sandbox mode for testing
    Enables the PayPal test environment to validate the flow before receiving real payments.
  • Redirect to PayPal checkout
    Sends the user to PayPal’s secure page to finalize the transaction and return to the site after payment.

Benefits of PayPal Standard

  • Fast billing without a store
    No need to install an e-commerce plugin just to receive one-off payments by form.
  • Simplified setup
    Just enter the PayPal email and connect to your account to start receiving payments.
  • Flexible amount collection
    Ideal for donations, event sign-ups, and custom orders with variable totals.
  • Checkout trust

Who Is PayPal Standard Intended For?

  • People who organize events and need to charge sign-ups through a simple form on the website.
  • NGOs and projects that receive donations with a suggested or free amount directly via WPForms.
  • People who sell products or services on demand and want to receive payments without setting up a full store.

How to Download PayPal Standard

PayPal Standard is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin in the WordPress admin panel, select the file, and activate it. After activation, the payment option appears in the settings of each WPForms form, alongside the other integrations.

For those who already use WPForms to capture leads and want to monetize the same workflow, this add-on shortens the path between the form and receiving payments. Instead of duplicating work with separate platforms, payment becomes just another form field, with conditional logic and automatic calculations, keeping entries, amounts, and confirmations organized in one place.
