Summary
The feed configuration determines what type of transaction should occur when the form is submitted, what to use as the payment amount, and which fields contain values that should be passed to PayPal.
Note: If you have added a PayPal Field to your form, you should find that a feed has already been created and configured automatically for you in the Form Settings > PayPal Checkout area. You’ll want to view this feed to ensure the Billing Information fields are mapped to the correct form fields.
Configure a feed
To configure a PayPal Checkout Feed do the following from your WordPress Admin Dashboard:
- Click on Forms in the left side menu.
- Select the form that you want to use with PayPal Checkout.
- Once within your desired form, hover over Settings and click on PayPal Checkout.
- Click Add New to create a new feed or click the Edit action link which appears when you hover over an existing feed in the table. You will then be presented with the PayPal Checkout feed settings screen.
Note: You can create multiple PayPal Checkout feeds for your form; however, you must configure conditional logic on them. The PayPal Checkout Add-On will only process one feed during submission; if conditional logic is not configured, it will use the first feed it finds.
