Right now, I have a form through JotForm.com on my website. When people pay for a class, I also want them to fill out an online registration form. After they pay, I have it set up so they will be redirected from PayPal to my registration page on my website in 10 second. However, not everyone is waiting 10 seconds and therefore, they are not registering. Is there a way to create a registration form through PayPal so they can see it? OR is there a way to change the timing of the 10 second dely before it redirects? OR is there a way to change the message on the payment confirmation page right before it redirects? Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can setup a form to capture the information. The customer is then sent to PayPal to pay and the info from the form will be in both your email notification and account transaction history. Note, your form must be manually created and has a script behind the scenes to manage the data.

You can't change the redirect timing nor the PayPal message on the payment confirmation page.

Below is an example of an online form, this is just one of many ways to do what you have in mind.
