So while you create a form, you can easily import the pre-made template to your form builder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You will need to name your form, choose the donation form template. Since we are accepting payment through the form, we might want to configure a payment gateway. The plugin will show you a pop-up message with the same content. Just click on the\u00a0OK<\/strong> button, and you are good to go.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Usually, a donation form comes with fields like<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, you can always add new fields or remove fields from the form.

Save the form by clicking on the button above.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After configuring the form fields, we need to set up the payment gateways. As of August 2020, there are two payment gateways available.<\/p>\n On the left side, you can see the\u00a0Payments<\/strong> tab. Click on it. You will see the available add-ons. And for this tutorial, we will be configuring the PayPal standards add-on from there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You will need to enable the PayPal standards payment, enter your PayPal email address there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And also, make sure that you have using the\u00a0Production Mode<\/strong>, not the\u00a0Test Mode<\/strong>. Choose the payment type as\u00a0Donations<\/strong>. If any of your donators clicked on the cancel button, you could redirect them to a custom URL.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, in most cases, you don’t need to ask for the donator’s address and a note. You can turn them off. Well, it is totally according to your use. Just like above, the conditional logic feature is available too.<\/p>\n After configuring these, you are ready to publish your form.<\/p>\n WPForms is optimized for WordPress 5.0 – Gutenberg<\/a>. So, embedding a form in a post\/ page or custom post type is pretty simple. All you need to do is use the WPForms block.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you are still using the Classic Editor, paste the forms’ shortcode to the editor, save the changes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You will see the live form on the website’s frontend.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pretty simple, right?<\/p>\n So when someone sends you a payment through the form, it will reflect in your PayPal account instantly.<\/p>\n As you can see, creating forms with WPForms is pretty simple.
