Who this applies to

This path applies to customers who:

• Want a hosted, out‑of‑the‑box payment form that supports PayPal and other local/global payment methods.
• Prefer Zuora to manage the full form experience (rendering, UX, security controls, and compatibility) instead of embedding PayPal components directly.

With this path:

• Zuora renders and manages the entire Payment Form experience.
• You configure which payment method types (cards, PayPal, wallets, bank transfers) appear on the form.
• Zuora orchestrates tokenization and payment processing behind the scenes, including support for PayPal Complete Payments.

Key behaviors

• Payment Forms create and store vault tokens for supported PayPal payment methods.
• Payments created through Payment Forms originate in Zuora and are logged as Electronic payments.
• Reconciliation and reporting are unified in Zuora, regardless of the gateway.

Benefits

• Minimal integration effort; you can treat Payment Forms as a drop‑in component.

• Fewer moving parts and fewer integration surfaces to maintain, which reduces failure risk.

• Automatic access to:
  • New payment methods added to Payment Forms.
  • Roadmap features such as App Switch and the Recurring Payments Module, where applicable.
• Compliance, security measures, and UX updates are managed by Zuora.

This path is recommended when you want the lowest ongoing maintenance, and when you want to consolidate multiple payment methods into a single hosted checkout experience.
