123FormBuilder provides a very simple way to receive PayPal payments with your own PayPal payment form. You will be able to accept donations, orders and subscription fees in no time. Just follow the steps below to set up the PayPal integration for your form.
1. Create your payment form in the editor.
You can use choice fields (single/multiple choice and dropdown lists) to display the products on sale. If you wish to let submitters specify the amount they want to pay, use a Price field or a Number field (numeric validation is necessary and it’s predefined for these two fields). With 123FormBuilder you can also create subscription forms for newsletters and other services.
2. In Form Settings go to Payments section. Under Payment Processors, select PayPal from the Payment gateway dropdown list and hit the Add payment gateway button. Next, you have to enter your PayPal email address and choose your preferred language from the dropdown list. Before saving your settings, enable the payment gateway on the top right corner of the box.
If you want to enable recurrent payment on your PayPal payment form, tick the option Use recurrent payment. If you want to create a donation form, tick the second checkbox – payment represents a donation. Furthermore, the payment summary from your form is sent to PayPal’s order summary page. If you want to remove it from the page, simply uncheck the Detailed invoice box from the PayPal gateway box in Payments. The feature is not available if you use recurrent payment on the form.
Donation forms cannot be set as recurrent, therefore the two options are incompatible and cannot be used together.
3. Set the payment details – choose currency, assign prices and perform calculations taking into account taxes or discounts, if applied. You can opt for notifications to be sent to the submitter once the transaction is completed.
4. Don’t forget to tick Enable payments for this form.
5. You are set!
Once form users select their preferred products and/or services from the PayPal payment form and submit it, they are redirected to PayPal to perform the transaction. After that, they receive the confirmation message you have created.
Easy as 1-2-3!
If you want to send additional information to the transaction page, hit the Customize button and match form fields with PayPal fields in the lightbox that appears on screen. So if your buyers do not own a PayPal account, they will not need to type in their information again. The fields will be pre-filled with the data they submitted on the PayPal payment form.
PayPal accepts and converts the following currencies:
| Canadian Dollar | Euro |
| British pound | U.S. Dollar |
| Japanese Yen | Australian Dollar |
| New Zealand Dollar | Swiss Franc |
| Hong Kong Dollar | Singapore Dollar |
| Swedish Krona | Danish Krone |
| Polish Zloty | Norwegian Krone |
| Hungarian Forint | Czech Koruna |
| Israeli New Shekel | Mexican Peso |
| Brazilian Real | Malaysian Ringgit |
| Philipine Pesso | New Taiwan Dollar |
| Thai Baht | Turkish Lira |
| Russian Ruble |

Hi
I’ve got a form with a recurrent payment selection (each 3, 6 and 12 months) with radiobuttons. I want to use PayPal for payments. Could I take de frecuency from these radiobuttons to send this information to PayPal? I’ve seen that only can put a fix value in the PayPal Payment Gateway options
Thanks in advance
Hello Carlos.
Recurring payments can only be set up for a certain fixed frequency at a time. In this case you can create an initial form and three additional, each with a different recurrence set in the PayPal processor. The initial form would then be used to redirect users to one of the other forms, based on which interval they selected to be charged. You will then need to use rules to set up the redirect.

Hi there – we are based in NZ and want to provide a simple online order form for our retailer customers to order from a small range of items. We need to accept payment in NZ – so can any of the existing providers service the New Zealand market? Would it be possible to link to a local (NZ/AU) service such as PoliPay (direct bank transfer)?
John
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
You can receive payments through your form starting with our Platinum plan. All the settings on this matter can be added in the Payments section. For New Zealand, you can use either PayPal or PayPal Pro.
For bank transfers, I recommend you to create a custom autoresponder in Settings → Notifications → Form User and add all those details there. Then, you can create a rule when going to Settings –> Rules → Autoresponder Rules to send the respective autoresponder only when the bank transfer choice is selected on your form. Of course, you will first need a Single Choice field with two options: online payment and bank transfer.
Please let us know if you need further assistance by contacting us at support@123formbuilder.com.
Thanks.

Hello Hector!
Our online forms are integrated with PayPal payments, meaning you do not require the PayPal button on your page. You can enable the PayPal payment gateway integration in your 123FormBuilder account and the form visitors will be redirected to PayPal to pay you after the form is submitted. You’ll need a Platinum plan or higher to enable the PayPal integration.
We also provide an integration with Google Sites, so you can embed your online forms more easily on any page of your Google site.

Hi, I am from India and am using your form function on my facebook tab and would like to integrate payment option. I would be selling only in India and none of the options provided are suitable for India. How could i add a gateway suitable for India and netbanking function. Please help.
Hello Gayatri!
Unfortunately, non of our existing payment processors are supported in India. However, we plan to develop new payment integrations in the future, some which work in India. In the meantime, have a look at the other options and features our services offer.

Just wondering what end makes the difference, but will people that don’t have a PayPal account be able to pay via credit card? Or is this something I set up at paypal’s end?
Thanks.
Hello Chris!
People can pay you via a credit card without needing a PayPal account of their own to finish the transaction. For more information, PayPal has got a documentation regarding your question here.

I was finally able to figure out the paypal and include it to my forms. Now I am unable to specify which account I want my payments to go to. Where do I set up my account info?
Hello Monique!
To enable the 123FormBuilder – PayPal integration, you’ll need to go to Settings → Payments → Merchant Setup, tick the option Accept payments via Paypal and enter the email address associated to your PayPal account. Before saving your settings, don’t forget to tick the Enable payments for this form option, on the top-left. Without it, the integration will not work.

i am wanting to add a payment button and link my paypal, but my items are custom so the price is calculated when the order is received. is there a way to add the amount that the customer can pay after the form is submitted?
Hello Alena!
Go to the Settings → Payments section of your form and check the option Enable payments for this form, right on top. Once you have also enabled PayPal as the payment processor on your form, a Calculate button will appear on the form as well as a Purchase button (in the preview/view mode). Form users can press the Calculate button before submitting the form to view the payment summary of their order. By pressing Purchase, form users will be redirected to PayPal to finish the transaction where the payment summary will be displayed.
