Adding Payments to Your Event in Reviewr
If you’re looking to collect payments during your event—whether for application fees, nomination fees, or other charges—Reviewr supports payment collection through a PayPal Payflow integration. This feature allows you to seamlessly collect payments within the platform, but requires a specific type of PayPal account and setup.
Overview
Reviewr’s payment processing is powered by PayPal Payflow, a gateway service that securely facilitates payment transactions. If your event has never used payment collection before, or if this is a new event in Reviewr, a few important steps are needed to get started.
Step 1: Confirm Your PayPal Account Type
Before Reviewr can enable payment for your event, you must have a PayPal Payflow Gateway account. Other types of PayPal accounts (such as Standard or Business without Payflow) are not compatible with Reviewr’s integration.
Note: If you do not currently have a Payflow account, you will need to set one up through PayPal or explore alternative payment collection methods outside of the platform.

Step 2: Gather Your Payflow Credentials
Once your Payflow account is ready, you’ll need to gather the following credentials:
Payflow Client ID (Partner ID)
Merchant Login (Vendor/Username)
Password
You can usually find this information by logging into your PayPal Payflow Manager and navigating to the Account Administration section.
Step 3: Reach Out to the Reviewr Team
After confirming your account type and gathering the necessary credentials, you’ll need to contact the Reviewr team to enable the PayPal integration on your event. Payment setup requires backend configuration, and a Reviewr representative will walk you through the final steps.
When contacting the Reviewr team, be sure to include:
Confirmation that you have a PayPal Payflow account
Your Client ID, and Vendor Login
The fee amount you want to charge (e.g., $25 per submission)
Any specific timing or form pages where the fee should be applied
A request to review the additional integration fee to your Reviewr account, which may vary based on the event
💡 Tip: Clearly stating your event timeline and when you want payments to be active will help ensure a smooth setup process.
Final Notes
PayPal integration is an optional add-on and will incur an additional fee from Reviewr.
Payments can be added and vary based on answers to questions in the form process.
Integration typically takes a few business days, so plan accordingly.
