Accept payments on your forms with PayPal. Our PayPal integration includes:
- PayPal Advanced Checkout (available in select countries/currencies). Enable Advanced Checkout to accept debit and credit card payments directly on your forms.
- Pay with Venmo (US only). Allow customers to pay with Venmo at checkout. Please note that customers on mobile devices must use Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android. The Venmo payment option appears next to the PayPal payment option and cannot be disabled.
- Pay Later in PayPal Checkout. Let customers pay in installments with Pay in 4 and Pay Monthly.
