About WPForms PayPal Standard Addon 1.9.0
WPForms PayPal Standard Addon connects a WPForms form to PayPal. After a visitor submits an order or donation form, they are sent to PayPal to pay, and the form entry records the submission. It suits small shops, donations and paid sign-ups where a full online store would be too much.
It is an add-on, so it does nothing without WPForms installed and active. The product name says 1.3.4, but the version on file is 1.9.0, and the file on record dates from October 2019.
PayPal Standard is an older PayPal method, and PayPal's own checkout products have changed since 2019. Test the payment flow in PayPal's sandbox mode before taking real payments, and check that your PayPal account still supports it.
Requirements
- WPForms (the parent plugin)
- A PayPal account
Key features
- PayPal payments from forms
- Sends visitors to PayPal to pay after they submit a WPForms form.
- Works with payment fields
- Used with the payment fields in WPForms, such as item prices and totals.
- Add-on for WPForms
- Installs as a plugin on top of WPForms, with settings in each form's payment options.
- Donations and orders
- Suits simple orders, donation forms and paid registrations.
- Sandbox testing
- PayPal's sandbox lets you test the full flow before accepting real payments.
Is it right for you?
A good fit for
- Sites already using WPForms that want to accept PayPal payments on a form
- Small organisations collecting donations or paid sign-ups without a store
Look elsewhere if
- Stores with carts and stock, which are better served by WooCommerce
- Sites that don't use WPForms
How to install WPForms PayPal Standard Addon 1.9.0
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Notes for this product
- Install and activate WPForms first. Test in PayPal's sandbox before enabling live payments, because the file dates from 2019 and PayPal's checkout options have changed.
Setup: using WPForms PayPal Standard Addon 1.9.0
- Activate WPForms and the add-on. Make sure WPForms is active, then activate the PayPal Standard add-on.
- Add a payment field. Edit your form and add a payment field, such as a single item or multiple items.
- Enable PayPal Standard. In the form's Payments settings, turn on PayPal Standard and enter your PayPal email address.
- Test in sandbox mode. Use PayPal's sandbox mode and a test account to run a payment end to end.
- Go live. Switch off sandbox mode and make one small real payment to confirm the flow.
Common problems and fixes
The form submits but never goes to PayPal
- Why it happens
- No payment field is on the form, or PayPal Standard isn't enabled in the form's payment settings.
- How to fix it
- Add a payment field and enable PayPal Standard for that form, then test again.
Payment completes but the entry isn't marked paid
- Why it happens
- PayPal's confirmation message can't reach your site, often because of security rules or a wrong setting.
- How to fix it
- Check PayPal's IPN or notification settings and make sure your site isn't blocking PayPal's request.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
