Contact Form 7 PayPal Integration

  • Hey everyone,
    Since i use CF7 a lot, almost in all my websites, I am wondering is there any kind of PayPal Integration. I wanna make classic donate form: name, last name, state, field to enter how much money you donate, and when i click on “Submit” i wanna form redirect me to papal system but i wanna my variables be redirected also. I don’t wanna classic donate button i wanna like this if it is possible.
    Some tutorial,or some step by step example would be great!
    Thank in advance!

  • @dan I figured out how to pass a fixed amount through the “additional messages” with on_sent_ok, but I’m not sure how to make that amount come from user input.

    Maybe this could work for you if you have a fixed amount you want to pass over to check out at PayPal. Here’s what I did:

    1. Make a button on PayPal. In my case I didn’t save it, just generated the code for the button and pasted that into a text file. I find that it’s easier to customize when I don’t save the button on PayPal. So that means there isn’t a hosted_button_id

    2. Then in the Contact 7 Additional Settings I pasted my url with the variables. I’m also using the sandbox version of PayPal. If you haven’t tried the Sandbox, you should definitely check it out. It allows you to do all kinds of testing as if you’re using the Live PayPal site.

    on_sent_ok: "location = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?business=contributions-facilitator@teamjulianfoundation.com&cmd=_xclick&amount=50';"

    You can see the last variable I’m passing is the amount=50. You can probably pass any of the allowed HTML Variables for a button type in there too.

    I used the LIVE HTTP Headers Extension in Firefox to examine a regular PayPal transaction that I already have working on my staging site. Super helpful.

    And if anyone knows how I can pass an amount into my params I’d really appreciate it!

    @dan, ok I’m not saying this is pretty but it works. I’m using jQuery to grab the amount store it in a variable, then use that in the location string.

    on_sent_ok: " my_amt = jQuery('#sponsor_donation').val();"
on_sent_ok: "location = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?business=contributions-facilitator@teamjulianfoundation.com&cmd=_xclick&amount=' +my_amt;"

    @kaplan where exactly do you put this code in wordpress within the contact 7 plugin?

    I have my code already, and i believe its right i just don’t know how to test it out

    @reshm hi. the on_sent_ok: code goes in the last input box, Additional Settings, on the form page. I made a quick grab you can view here.

    Rather than examining the live headers for the parameters you can use the simpler method, read the documentation, less fun I know.

    The html query strings parameters can be found here

    Thanks for the useful thread, it makes something I was doing very easy.

    Would you not be able to use a radio group and then use the [donation-amount] CF7 variable from the form for populating the amount in the on_sent_ok value?
