New PayPal Checkout integration

New PayPal Checkout integration

Starting with 20th of May 2024, PayPal Checkout integration will go through an updated flow. As such, for existing setups we would need to receive from you some additional information regarding your payment setup until the 20th of May 2024 in order not to break your forms.

For existing setups, if the below requested additional information is not provided, your integration with PayPal Checkout will break and you won’t be able to collect payments through your form.

With our old PayPal Checkout integration, the only information you needed to provide in order to enable this payment integration was Client ID and Language.

With our new PayPal Checkout integration, we are requested to have in its setup some additional information, Merchant ID and Email address. Without these 2 pieces of information, any PayPal Checkout integration that is already enabled would break.

Email address & Merchant ID

Note: if you have a PayPal Checkout integration enabled on your form that does not have these 2 pieces of information (Merchant ID and Email address), your payment integration will break and you will no longer be able to collect payments. It is mandatory for you to provide this information in order to make sure your form works flawlessly.

Where to find Merchant ID

According to PayPal’s documentation, all you have to do is to log in to your PayPal account and go to Account settings.

Under Business profile, click on Business information. You’ll find your ID next to PayPal Merchant ID. Copy this value and paste it into your 123FormBuilder’s form, under the Merchant ID field in your PayPal Checkout settings.
