Start by selecting the \u201cPayment Form\u201d template and customize it according to your preferences. Don&#8217;t forget to include fields for crucial customer information, like their email, name, and address. Add a \u201ctotal amount\u201d field as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Connect_WPForms_to_PayPal\"><\/span>Step 5: Connect WPForms to PayPal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With your payment form done, connect it to PayPal by heading to WPForms > Settings > Payments.
