Detailed Overview

Many WordPress websites need to collect both information and payment. A registration website may need attendee details and a registration fee. A service business may need customer information and an upfront payment. A nonprofit may need donor information alongside a contribution.

Formidable Forms – PayPal Standard helps connect these two parts of the process. Instead of treating your form and payment workflow as completely separate experiences, you can build a form-based process designed around both data collection and PayPal payments.

Create Payment-Enabled WordPress Forms

Use your Formidable Forms fields to collect the information your business requires, then configure the payment workflow around the appropriate transaction amount and form submission process.

This approach can be useful for websites that don’t need a full traditional online store for every transaction but still need a dependable way to accept payments through customized forms.

Useful for Multiple Business Models

Depending on your configuration, Formidable Forms – PayPal Standard can support workflows such as:

• Event and conference registration fees
• Appointment or booking payments
• Service deposits and payments
• Membership and registration fees

Agencies can also reuse familiar Formidable Forms workflows across client projects, adapting fields, payment amounts, and form logic to the requirements of individual websites.
