Paypal for Workflows

Workflows do not have a corresponding "Forward to PayPal to complete Payment" action. However, you can configure either the Workflow Action: Forward users to a webpage of your choice or a link control in an individual step to connect to PayPal from a workflow. 

Replace the values in the <> brackets in the examples with your values. (These parameters are explained below.) You can also substitute the value of a form control in below URLs using templates, for example: to use a control named "amount" in the URL, configure it as:

Code Block
&amount={amount}

PayPal Sandbox: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=<Paypal business name>&amount=<Payment amount>&item_name=<Payment Description>&currency_code=<Currency Code>&return=<Return URL>&cancel_return=<Cancel URL>&custom=<Custom Value>&invoice=<Invoice Value>&notify_url=<Notification Url>

Production: https://www.paypal.com/webscr/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=<Paypal business name>&amount=<Payment amount>&item_name=<Payment Description>&currency_code=<Currency Code>&return=<Return URL>&cancel_return=<Cancel URL>&custom=<Custom Value>&invoice=<Invoice Value>&notify_url=<Notification URL>

URL Parameters

  • Paypal business name: Paypal business name. Typically, this is the email address you use to sign in to Paypal.

  • Payment amount: The payment amount.

  • Payment Description: The payment description is what your users will see when paying.

  • Currency Code: The currency code used in payment. Example: USD, CAD, INR

  • Return URL: A user will be redirected to this page after payment is complete. If you leave this blank, users will be redirected to a standard platform URL. 

  • Cancel URL: A user will be redirected to this page if payment is cancelled. If you leave this blank, users will be redirected to a standard platform URL.

  • Custom Value: PayPal will return this custom value in the IPN as well as the acknowledgement email.

  • Invoice Value: PayPal will return this invoice value (such as an Invoice Number) in the IPN as well as the acknowledgement email.

  • Notification URL: A notification URL. If you enter a URL here, PayPal will notify you using Instant Payment Notification. Please see the PayPal documentation for details.

Workflow Action: Forward Users to a Webpage of Your Choice

Add the URL (configured like this example) to the URL field. After the last step is submitted, the user will be redirected to PayPal for payment processing.

Example: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=mycompany@gmail.com&amount=2&item_name={BMyDesc}&currency_code=USD&return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/t1/u/53f402db-5ef2-4052-95a0-a44a2d000832/app/_JuJjkWogEeq1EfoSPaFbFA/formtype/_6Vmn0G02EeqEf75e1_YeJg?_method=post&embed=true&cancel_return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/t1/u/53f402db-5ef2-4052-95a0-a44a2d000832/app/_JuJjkWogEeq1EfoSPaFbFA/formtype/_6Vmn0G02EeqEf75e1_YeJg?_method=post&embed=true&custom=123&invoice=123&notify_url=

Note

This example uses the raw share link for the workflow in the &return= and &cancel_return= URLs. These will redirect the user to a new instance of the workflow. 

Individual Step

If you need PayPal integration in specific step of a workflow, add a link control in that step with above URL and set return URL pointing back to current step of the workflow using built-in data. They can then submit the step and the workflow will continue as designed.

Example: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=mycompany@gmail.com&amount=2&item_name={BMyDesc}&currency_code=USD&return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/{form.tenant.id}/u/{form.user.uuid}/app/{form.application.id}/flow/{flow.id}/current?typeId={flow.type.id}&cancel_return=http://localhost:8080/frevvo/web/tn/{form.tenant.id}/u/{form.user.uuid}/app/{form.application.id}/flow/{flow.id}/current?typeId={flow.type.id}&custom=123&invoice=123&notify_url
