PayPal Website Payments Pro
The PayPal Website Payments Pro integration lets you accept large volumes of payment from the United States, Canada, or Great Britain. Website Payments Pro requires that you have a Premier or Business PayPal account.
People who complete your form are given the option to pay with PayPal or a credit card.
- If they choose the PayPal option, they're redirected to PayPal to continue the payment through their PayPal account then returned to your confirmation page after a successful transaction.
- If they choose credit card, they're redirected to an integrated Wufoo payment form to enter their credit card details. Wufoo does not store any billing information.
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.

Integration Errors
This means your account is not properly configured to process express checkout and/or payment pro transactions. Please make sure that you have the correct PayPal and Payments Pro account and have entered your API information correctly into Wufoo during Merchant Setup.
It could be one of two things:
- You have not agreed to the billing agreement.
- The billing agreement is disabled or inactive.
In either case you will want to contact PayPal and ensure that your account is set up to process Website Payments Pro transactions and that the billing agreement is accepted. You can also search PayPal’s forums for information specific to this error code.
