tutorial for setting up PayPal add-on

  1. Hello,

    I've never used any of the add-ons but now I have to make a payment form so need to use the PayPal add-on. I have looked in many places on this site but I see no tutorial or instructions for how to do this. All I could find was a page of "hooks" etc ... that doesn't tell me how to set this up on a website. Where would I find this? Thanks.

  3. Thank you, that's more than I found here before I inquired. I did find a very helpful video by Googling, though.

  4. I am in a similar situation: trying to integrate the PayPal add on for the first time into a registration form for a summer camp. I had found the instructions linked above and have enabled the IPN settings in our PayPal account and set up the feed to the form I created. What I can't figure out is how to make the PayPal payment option actually appear on the form.

    Here is my form: http://0360ff4.netsolhost.com/secondpresby/learn/vacation-bible-school/

    You add a Feed to the form that acts as a bridge between the Form and Paypal. Go under Forms and then Paypal and set up a feed. Let me know if you have any issues.

  6. I already set up the feed, but nothing happened. When I the feed asks for your PayPal e-mail address, I assume that is the principle address on the account.

    I got it to work finally. I just didn't realize that when you submitted the form, it then went to PayPal. I was expecting to see something indicated the PayPal option.
