To enable the PayPal Express Checkout integration, follow the simple steps below:

1. Access your form builder account, navigate to your Form Editor, and E-Commerce section. From the list choose PayPal Express Checkout.

Important Note: To test your PayPal integration with 123FormBuilder, you’ll need a sandbox account on PayPal.
If you do not have one, go to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com to create one. Type in the credentials of your sandbox account in the payment integration panel and tick the Use sandbox option.

A big advantage is that Paypal Checkout allows you to accept payments directly on your online order form, without redirecting away from the page.
