PayPal Standard is a great solution for beginners and small businesses processing a smaller volume of monthly transactions.

People who complete your form are redirected to PayPal where they are presented with the list of items they are purchasing and a form to collect their payment information. Buyers are not required to have a PayPal account, but they will have the option to create one on the payment page. They can then pay with a credit card or through PayPal.

Tip! Our article on Choosing a Payment Merchant can help you choose the right payment integration.

Adding the Integration

Log in and go to Forms.
To the right of the form,
- If you're using legacy Wufoo, click Payments.
- If you're using the new Wufoo experience, click the View Payments icon.

Merchant Setup
To connect a PayPal Standard account:
1. Select PayPal Standard as your merchant.
