Connecting PayPal in SureDonation

The PayPal settings allow you to connect and manage your PayPal account so you can securely accept donations through your forms.

Once connected, donors can complete payments using PayPal, and donations can be processed directly from your website.

Access PayPal Settings

To access the PayPal settings:

• Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
• Navigate to SureDonation > Settings.
• Expand Payment Methods.

Before accepting donations, you must connect your PayPal account.

To connect PayPal:

• Click the Connect to PayPal button.

• A new browser tab will open for PayPal authorization.

• Sign in to your PayPal account.
• Review and approve the requested permissions.
• Complete the authorization process.
• Return to your WordPress dashboard once the connection is successful.

After successful authentication, your PayPal account will be connected to SureDonation and ready to accept donations.

Configure PayPal After Connection

After connecting to PayPal:

• Confirm that the PayPal connection status appears successful.
• Configure your donation settings as needed.
• Select your preferred currency from General Settings.
• Choose the appropriate payment mode:
  • Live Mode – Accept real donations.
  • Test Mode – Test your donation flow before going live.

Verify the PayPal Connection

After completing setup:

1. Open a donation form on your website.
2. Submit a test donation.
3. Complete the payment using PayPal.
4. Confirm the donation appears in your records and PayPal account.

Once testing is complete, you can start accepting live donations.

Note: PayPal transaction and processing fees vary depending on country, account type, and transaction volume. Review your PayPal account dashboard for current processing rates.
