Step 2: Create your own form

Create your form by Piotnet Form Builder widgets

Step 3: Choose your appropriate action in the Submit Button

When clicking on the Submit Button, you can recognize that there are two PayPal actions:

  1. PayPal Payment: Application for your basic meets. The user just needs to pay once time.
  2. PayPal Subscription: Application for recurring payment. Once the customers give permission, the amount will be automatically deducted at predefined intervals until the customer retracts their permission or the subscription expires.
