PayPal Payments Pro Add-On

PayPal has announced that from September 2024, certain legacy APIs they provide will stop receiving support and customers using them may experience a loss of functionality. If you are using any of our Gravity Forms legacy PayPal Add-Ons (PayPal Payments Pro Add-On, PayPal Payments Standard Add-On, PayPal Pro Add-On), we recommend you evaluate the feasibility of migrating to the PayPal Checkout Add-On to avoid possible disruption of services.
