Description
Requirements: Elementor Pro must be installed and active. The Elementor Forms widget (included with Elementor Pro) is required to create and accept payments through forms.
GatewayKit lets you accept payments through Elementor Pro Forms using PayPal, with more gateways coming soon.
Build a fully customized Elementor form with your own fields and place it on any page. When a visitor submits the form, they are redirected to PayPal to complete the payment — no shopping cart or WooCommerce required.
It is designed for sites that need simple payment forms where a full e-commerce setup would be unnecessary.
For full documentation and demos, visit GatewayKit website.
Features
- PayPal Orders REST API v2 integration (redirect-based hosted checkout).
- Sandbox / Live mode toggle for safe testing.

- Secure, non-guessable receipt tokens with a payment result shortcode (

What is sent and when
When a user submits a payment form, the plugin sends the payment amount, currency, and a transaction reference to PayPal’s servers for authorization and capture. No personal user data beyond what PayPal requires for payment processing is transmitted.
