About the Add On
This plugin enables a radio select on the membership checkout page, allowing a user to select their preferred payment method for purchase. PayPal offers peace of mind to buyers that have concerns paying you directly by giving them a layer of protection when making purchases online.
Note: to add the credit card and PayPal logos, follow the steps in this tutorial.
