Collect PayPal Payment

Action Form allows you to set a PayPal payment requirement when the user submits the form. To set this requirement you will need to add the Collect Paypal Payment action. It allows you to set PayPal payments by submitting your Sandbox Account Email, Live Account Email, Payment Amount, Payment Frequency, and Currency preference.

Payments without PayPal account

By default, PayPal requires customers that they either already have a PayPal account or create one during the checkout process. This option can be configured from PayPal so customers can buy without having a PayPal account, by using a credit card for example. More information can be found here.
