## Overview

Are you looking to exclude failed payments from the **PayPal Standard addon**  affecting your **Form Locker** settings? By default, the **Form Locker addon** doesn’t consider payment statuses from any integrated payment gateway in your forms. However, with a quick code snippet, you can effortlessly exclude failed and even pending payments, ensuring that your form isn’t restricted for these types of submissions. We’ll guide you through the straightforward process to achieve this seamlessly!

function wpf_dev_exclude_payment_status( $statuses ) {
	
	// Exclude failed payments from form locker settings
	$statuses[] = 'failed';
	// Exclude pending payments from form locker settings
	$statuses[] = 'pending';
	
	return $statuses;
}
add_filter( 'wpforms_locker_lockers_entry_limit_exclude_not_allowed_entries_excluded_statuses', 'wpf_dev_exclude_payment_status', 10, 1 );
