Step by step guide on 123FormBuilder and PayPal Pro integration

PayPal Payments Pro allows you to accept payments directly on your online order form, without redirecting away from the page. Users will enter their payment details in the form itself and credit card fields will be just regular fields in your form. To enable the PayPal Pro integration, follow the simple steps below:

1. Navigate the Form Editor and search for PayPal Pro under the Payments section.

2. Provide your PayPal Pro API Username, API Password, and API Signature. Tick the option Use recurrent payment if you want to charge your clients on a regular basis after submission. You can even add the number of cycles the billing occurs.

    1. Hello Claudio.

      Is your form redirecting to the payment gateway after the form is submitted? Please make sure that all the values are assigned and that payments option along with the payment processor are enabled. You can verify all these settings from the Settings -> Payments -> Calculations and Payment Processors sections.

      Also, you should contact our Support team at support@123formbuilder.com , so that they can further assist you with the payments set up.

      Thanks!
