    Hi William,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I created a form, added PayPal Business to it and was able to connect it. Check out the screenshot below to see my results:

    Since I was unable to replicate the issue, can you please try deleting the product list from your form and add it again? Doing that is easy, let me show you how:

    1. In your form, click on the Product list, then on the Trash icon on its right side to delete it.
    2. Next, click on the + Add Form Elements button in the top left side of the screen.
    3. Under the Basic tab, search for the Product List and add it again to the form.
    4. Now, click on the Add Integration icon and connect it with PayPal Business. I am unable to connect PayPal Business to my form Image 2 Screenshot 51
    5. Finally, click on the Product List icon and then, in the panel on the right side of the screen, click on Settings.
    6. Now, click on the Magic wand icon at the top of the panel and Connect your Paypal Business integration.

    If the issue persists, try to connect your Payment Gateway using a different browser or a browser private page.

    Give it a try and reach out again if you have any other questions.

    Thank you. Is it possible to do this on test mode? My fear is that I removed the current integration, which is still working, and replace it with PayPal business and it doesn’t work. We are in the final week of selling tickets online for an event and if we have any issues with the transition it will cause us all kinds of problems

    Hi William,

    Are you talking about this form? If so, I checked it and found that PayPal Pro is currently used as the form's payment gateway. PayPal has discontinued 'Pro' and any platform that uses it needs to change it to a 'Business'. In essence, we have to follow the change, and all Jotform users who use PayPal Pro need to change it to PayPal Business. That way, you can continue on collecting payment for the form without issues.

    Using Test Mode will trigger the integration to reset, even when using the same integration. The reason is that the system is prompted that a different account will be used for the integration, since a different mode will be used, which would ask you to add another set of gateway credentials. Can you try removing the integration and add it back using PayPal Business? Here's how:

    1. In Form Builder, go to the Product List field and click on the Trash Can icon to completely delete it.

    2. Once deleted, click on Add Element on the left.
    3. Go to the Payments tab.
    4. Look for PayPal Business and add it into your form. Automatically, the products you originally added will be included in it.
    5. Click on Connect to add your PayPal account for the integration.
