Popular Search subscriptionstriperecurringtheuser View Categories You can configure the PayPal payment method with Paymattic to securely receive payments from your users. This article will guide you through configuring PayPal on your WordPress Site with the [Paymattic](/) plugin. Remember, to get access to the [PayPal](https://paypal.com/) payment gateway, you need the [Paymattic Pro Plugin](/docs/how-to-install-and-activate-paymattic-in-wordpress/#1-toc-title). ## Configuring PayPal Payment Method # To learn how to configure the PayPal payment gateway through Paymattic, follow the steps with screenshots below – First, go to **Payment Gatewa**y from the **Paymattic Navbar**, click the **PayPal** tab from the left sidebar, and the **PayPal Settings** page will open. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Paypal-tab-under-Payment-Gateway-scaled.webp) Select any **Payment Mode** between **Sandbox** (for test payments) and **Live (**for real payments) as both options follow the same configuration process, e.g., I choose the **Sandbox Mode**. Then, enter the email you signed up with on the [PayPal Account](https://www.paypal.com/signin) into the**PayPal Emai**l field. Finally, press the **Save Settings** button and your PayPal account will be integrated with Paymattic for your WordPress Site. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Payment-Mode-Paypal-Email.webp) ### Disable IPN Verification & Checkout Logo # Once you configure PayPal, you can set up the **IPN** (Instant Payment Notification) **Verification** and **Checkout Logo** if needed. - **Disable IPN Verification**: Check this box if **Payment Data Transfer**is not accessible for you and payments are not being marked as complete. This option allows the site to use a slightly less secure method of verifying purchases. - **Checkout Logo**: With this option, you can set a logo from your device to display during checkout. Also, you can remove the logo by simply clicking the **Cross** **Icon**. Remember, always press the Save Settings button to save the changes you made on your PayPal Settings page. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Disable-IPN-Verification-Checkout-Logo.webp) ### Confirmation Page Settings # With this setting, you can select the page where the **Payment Confirmation** and **Payment Failed** notifications will appear after any successful or failed payments. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Confirmation-Page-Settings.webp) ### PayPal for Recurring Payments # With this setting, you can enable notifications for recurring payments that happen in PayPal. To set the notification, copy the provided **URL**andset it in PayPal to collect the information about recurring payments. To learn how to set the URL in PayPal, read this [Documentation](/docs/how-to-set-paypal-ipn-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/). If you do not set up the IPN (Instant Payment Notification) notification then it will still work for single payments but recurring payments will not be marked as paid for PayPal subscription payments. Once you are done, click the **Save Settings** button to save all the changes that you made. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PayPal-for-Recurring-Payments.webp) ## Add PayPal in Forms # Once you finish setting up your**PayPal** payment gateway, you can easily add this payment method to any of your existing [Payment Form](/docs/how-to-create-your-first-payment-form-in-a-minute-and-accept-payments-with-paymattic/). If you do not have any existing forms, read this [Create a Form from Scratch](/docs/how-to-create-a-form-from-scratch-with-paymattic/) or[Create a Form using Templates](/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation to create one. To learn the detailed process of adding a payment method to an existing form, read this [Documentation](/docs/how-to-use-the-payment-method-fields-section/). But, remember, the added**PayPal**payment method in your **Form** will not function unless you complete the configuration process properly. ## Form Specific PayPal Settings # To learn how to customize the Settings of Paypal payment method for a specific form, refer to the article below – [Form Specific Payment Settings](/docs/customize-form-specific-payment-settings/#5-toc-title) If you have any further questions, concerns, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact our [@support team](https://wpmanageninja.com/support-tickets/?utm_source=wpmn&utm_medium=home&utm_campaign=site#/).
