 * Do you have a recommendation on what to use to save form data when submitted?
   There are several tools that save entries which can be downloaded later in CSV
   and other formats. So far none of them work with your plugin.
 * Example: Advanced CF7 DB

 * Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not capture any form data when using the
   paypal submit from your plugin.

 * The form fields are captured only if the form is submitted by email. The PayPal
   button does not submit the form, it only initiates payment.
 * You can try to work around the issue in this way:
    1. Activate the third-party data storage plugin of your choice
    2. Re-insert the “payonsubmit” option in the [paypal_button] tag that you removed
       earlier;
    3. Add a standard “submit” button to your form
 * When the user clicks the “submit” button, the following should happen:
    1. The form data is captured and saved by the third-party data storage plugin
    2. You receive an email notification on your admin e-mail address
    3. The user is redirected to PayPal to complete payment
 * Hope that helps!
