PayPal
Take PayPal payments on any form, paid straight into your own PayPal account.
What it does
- Add a payment field to any form and collect the money through PayPal before the response is recorded.
- Payments land in your own PayPal account. We never hold the money and take no cut.
- Respondents pay on PayPal's own checkout page with their PayPal balance, bank or card.
- Works with personal and business PayPal accounts. No merchant application to fill in.

Send one link for an invoice, a deposit or a small order, and get paid into the PayPal account you already use.

Questions
Do you take a cut of PayPal payments?
No. The payment goes from your respondent to your PayPal account. PayPal's own fees apply, the same as any PayPal sale, and we add nothing on top.
Can I use a personal PayPal account?
Yes. Connecting only needs you to sign in to PayPal. There is no partner application, and both personal and business accounts can receive payments. A business account is worth having if you sell regularly.
What does Deoochform get access to?
Your PayPal account ID, which is what we name as the payee on each order, and your email address if PayPal shares it. We cannot see your balance, your transactions or anything else in your account, and we cannot move money out of it.
What can I charge for with PayPal?
A fixed price, a donation where the respondent picks the amount, or an order with several items and quantities. Recurring subscriptions are only available through Stripe for now.
When is the response recorded?
The response is saved when the form is submitted and marked paid once PayPal confirms the payment. If someone leaves PayPal without paying, no paid response appears in your table.
How do I refund a payment?
From your own PayPal account, like any other PayPal sale. The payment shows in your PayPal activity under the name of the payment field, so it is easy to match to the response.
Can I offer both PayPal and Stripe?
Yes. Connect both, then choose which one collects each payment field. Different forms can use different providers.
