PayPal Subscriptions In The Infusionsoft Shopping Cart

In the Infusionsoft shopping cart for single purchases of a subscription or a product with a single or multi stage payment plan, you can now add a PayPal payment option to the shopping cart using SubscriptionBoss 1.14.

How To Set Up The PayPal Payment Option

1. On your WordPress site where you have SubscriptionBoss installed then select the subscription and scroll down to the Extra Order Information section and makes any changes if you want to capture contact and address information from the cart on Infusionsoft.
2. Having saved any updates, scroll down to the Help area and in the Infusionsoft Shopping Cart section copy the javascript code and then paste it into the Bottom HTML area for the product on Infusionsoft.
3. IMPORTANT: if you have an SSL certificate installed on your WordPress site then replace the http by https in the copied code – this stops the browser from issuing a warning message when the form is sent to the plugin.

How The Infusionsoft Shopping Cart Behavior Is Changed

The script you have copied provides the following functions if the user selects to pay with PayPal:

• Hides the contact information section if you have specified that you do not want to collect contact information from the form
• Hides the address information section if you have specified that you do not want to collect address information from the form
• Hides the Credit Card Information line
• Validates the form and shows error messages about missing or invalid fields in the Contact Information section and the Billing Information sections if you have specified that these must be provided in the Extra Order Information section of the Subscription definition of SubscriptionBoss
• Send the form to the SubscriptionBoss plugin instead of Infusionsoft if the buyer elects to pay by PayPal and has completed all the required information

Shopping Cart On Selecting PayPal Payment Option

Unnecessary fields such as Credit Card information are hidden when PayPal is selected.

Shopping Cart Form Validation – Contact Info Required

The form will provide validation of contact and address information if you specify that this information is required in the Extra Order Information section on SubscriptionBoss

An Alternative Approach To The Shopping Cart – Use Order Forms

If you are like me and prefer to use order forms rather than the shopping cart then take a look at

Also check out the video tutorials on YouTube for setting up extra form field validation so user information is collected on the form rather than relying on the information from the buyer’s PayPal account.
