    Good Afternoon,

    I have a form that was taking payments, and it is now saying Payment is not eligible for card fields. https://form.jotform.com/241297193530154. So I decided to create a new form https://form.jotform.com/251064438769163 and am still getting the same message. Then I have another form https://form.jotform.com/250917081088157 that has taken some payments, but now when people go to pay, it only gives them the option to enter their name and then not enter credit card

    Hi Deb,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I checked the form 241297193530154 and it seems you have used the Paypal Checkout payment method which was already deprecated since March 2025. We recommend switching to Paypal Business instead. You can change the Payment method without deleting it. It's really easy to do. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Under the Payment tab, click on the Three Dots icon next to the Payment method you used and click on Switch to Another Gateway.
    3. Choose a payment method and click on Use Selection then in the window that opens click on OK.

    Hi Deb,

    I tested the form through a clone using our PayPal account but could not replicate the issue. See screenshot below:

    Can you try switching to a different browser or a different device and see how it goes? I also cleared your form cache as a precaution. Although Clearing Your Form Caches isn't done automatically, it's easy to do it manually. Let me show you how:

    1. On your My Forms page, click on your Avatar/Profile Image icon.

    2. In the window that opens, click on Settings.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
