How to Accept PayPal Payments in WordPress for Free

If you’ve been searching for a way to accept PayPal payments on your WordPress site, you’ve probably noticed that most guides point you toward WooCommerce or an expensive plugin.

The good news is WPForms Lite now includes PayPal Commerce as a built-in feature. It’s a free plugin, and you can use it to collect one-time or recurring PayPal payments directly through your WordPress forms.

I’ll walk you through the full setup in this guide. From plugin install to a live payment form, the whole thing takes about 10 minutes.

11 Reasons to Switch From Contact Form 7 to WPForms

Contact Form 7 just announced a feature freeze. At a recent WordCamp event, the CF7 team confirmed that version 6.2 will be the final major update. After that, the plugin will only receive bug fixes and security patches. The developer explicitly stated they’re moving on to the next project.

If you’re one of the 10 million+ site owners running CF7, your first thought is probably “my forms work fine, so why should I care?” That’s fair. But a plugin in feature freeze isn’t just missing new features. It’s a plugin that will slowly fall behind as WordPress itself keeps evolving.

I’ve been watching CF7’s development pace slow down for a while now, and this announcement confirms what many of us suspected. The good news is that switching is faster and easier than you’d expect, and there’s a free alternative that already does more than CF7 ever did.
