What Is Rocket Genius Gravity Forms Paypal Pro Addon?
Rocket Genius Gravity Forms Paypal Pro Addon is developed by Gravity Forms and is a payments plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the payments category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for ecommerce and digital transactions. The plugin facilitates a more cohesive buyer journey by handling the credit card entry process within the form itself.
This solution eliminates the friction caused by third-party redirects during the final stages of a sale. It is designed for merchants who have a PayPal Payments Pro account and want to maintain brand consistency throughout the entire checkout process.
Rocket Genius Gravity Forms Paypal Pro Addon Features
The PayPal Pro Add-on feature set is built around secure payment processing and automated post-submission actions.
On-Site Payment Processing
The core function of the PayPal Pro Add-on is capturing credit card details directly on the form. Users enter their billing information and submit without ever leaving the host domain. This integration requires an SSL certificate and a specific PayPal Payments Pro account to function correctly within the forms ecosystem.
Recurring Billing and Subscriptions
The plugin enables the configuration of recurring payment cycles. This is ideal for membership sites or service-based businesses that require monthly or annual billing. The setup process allows for flexible billing periods and automatic renewals directly through the PayPal API.
Post and User Creation Actions
The PayPal Pro Add-on can delay WordPress actions until a payment is successfully authorized. It integrates with the User Registration Add-on to ensure accounts are only created after payment. Additionally, it can be configured to create WordPress posts only when the financial transaction is approved, preventing spam or unpaid submittals.
Pricing
The PayPal Pro Add-on is traditionally classified as an Elite Add-on, requiring the highest tier license from the vendor. Check current pricing on the PayPal Pro Add-on sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
