Introduction
POWR Form Builder features an integration with PayPal and Stripe, which lets you accept one-time payments, recurring subscriptions, and donations.
To collect payments as part of the form submission, follow these steps to get set up:
Setup PayPal Payments for Forms
- In the POWR Editor, go to the Payment section
- Toggle Require Payment to On
- Enter your PayPal email address and/or connect your Stripe account
- Enter product details like name, currency, cost, etc.
- Continue through the POWR Editor to save your changes
Setup Stripe Payments for Forms
- In the POWR Editor, go to the Payment section
- Toggle Require Payment to On
- Connect your Stripe account
- Continue through the POWR Editor to save your changes
! You can set up payments for both PayPal and Stripe. Simply follow the steps above for both.
Everyone submitting a form with payments required will be redirected to a checkout window for the payment portion.
On there, they will either enter their credit card details in a secure checkout form (Stripe) or be redirected to PayPal to complete payment on their site.

Right now the options are require payments or don't accept payments. there doesn't seem to be a way to accept payments through paypal or allow users to submit their form and pay by check. We are working with student artists and most of them don't have paypal accounts to use to pay their booth fees so we need two payment options.
Hi Brenda!
Thank you for the suggestion! Currently, our Form Builder has an integration with PayPal payments. Our engineers are working on future updates where there may be an integration with Stripe (so your user can type in a credit card without any login info) and even allow Offline Payments!
Until then, I may recommend turning off Payment in your Form. I may also recommend looking into adding our PayPal Button to your webpage to accept payments. Our PayPal Button accepts 3 different payment methods; PayPal, Stripe, and Offline. Once published, you may instruct your users who fill your Form to click on your PayPal Button for payment options.
Hi, I did receive payment from a customer but it did not include the shipping cost which I provided as part of the purchase
When I add on paypal payment, it no longer will collect info through mailchimp. Previously, without paypal it did add to mailchimp. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Hello i added my email for PayPal.
but I cannot received any payment .... Please assist urgently...
Bonjour,
J'ai mis un lien de redirection après paiement, j'ai payé la formule qui permet de faire cela. Mais ça ne fonctionne pas.
Après le paiement, rien ne se passe, même pas de lien dans la facture.
Pouvez vous m'aider ?
Hi Julie,
Please contact our support team with a link to your site and your app so we can take a look. There is a 'Contact Support" link in the footer of this page. Thanks!
We had the POWr form builder on our website, connected to both PayPal and Stripe. Spammers were entering their details into the form and testing credit cards with Stripe. It did not work for them with PayPal. PLEASE, can you add Capcha or some similar technology so that these spammers cannot get through to payment via Stripe? This makes your form unsecure.
@Krista Sorry that happened. We were targeted a couple of months ago by scammers who were trying to abuse POWR payment apps to validate stolen cards. Stripe helped us resolve the issue (though unfortunately they couldn't help us identify which users were affected) and we implemented Captcha in all of our apps that take payments to prevent this from happening again. Did this happen to you more recently? If yes, please send us a message with screenshots of what you are seeing in Stripe so our team can look into this ASAP. Thanks!
Hi, yes this was about 1-2 months ago. I can send you a message about it, as I am hesitant on re-connecting Stripe to our website.
@Krista Totally understand. I just checked with our team and we have not had any reported issues since Captcha was added to all apps. Our support team will be happy to take another look and see if there is anything specifically in your form that can be updated to make it even more secure.
Is there a way to prevent the spammers from filling out the form and trying, as we get quite a few emails from them and we just have PayPal connected.
Hi Pilar, I'm not sure where the Captcha is located. I did a test purchase and never had to click on a Captcha. Please contact me. Thank you.
Hi Krista!
1) If spam submissions are a problem in general (and not just in conjunction with potential payment fraud), you might want to adjust your form settings to allow only one submission per user (the setting lives under Settings > After Submission Options).
2) Captcha is enabled by default in the checkout of all POWR apps. The captcha screen is only shown if Google has detected unusual patterns or activity. This is to ensure that captcha does not create an unnecessary barrier to purchase and has been designed by Google to work that way.
