Gravity Forms takes PayPal payments. The default admin hides the totals.
The Gravity Forms PayPal add-on routes payments through PayPal Standard or PayPal Commerce and stamps the transaction outcome back onto the entry via IPN. gf_entry tracks payment_status, payment_date, payment_amount and currency. gf_entry_meta carries the PayPal-specific keys: transaction_id, payer_id, payment_type (instant, echeck), payment_status (Completed, Pending, Refunded, Reversed) and the IPN log reference.
The default Gravity Forms admin shows payment status as a column on the per-form Entries screen and exposes IPN diagnostics inside each entry's detail view. It does not aggregate PayPal revenue across forms, split entries by payment type, or chart IPN outcomes over time. Finance teams end up exporting to CSV and rebuilding the totals in a spreadsheet, or jumping to the PayPal dashboard which does not know which form produced which charge.
SleekView Charts reads gf_entry and the PayPal meta directly. A Number card anchors total PayPal revenue. A Pie splits transactions across payment statuses. A Bar ranks forms by PayPal revenue. An Area trends PayPal volume over time. Same PayPal transactions, organised as a finance and operations dashboard that lives in WP Admin alongside the entries that produced them.

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Gravity Forms PayPal
PayPal revenue from gf_entry
Render PayPal revenue as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards reading from gf_entry and the PayPal meta. Finance gets totals in WP Admin without jumping to PayPal or a spreadsheet.
Spot Pending and Reversed
PayPal's status model includes Pending and Reversed states the default admin shows only per entry. The pie surfaces their share so the support team catches stuck or contested transactions early.
Audit echecks and instant payments
Group by paypal_payment_type to split instant payments from echecks. Useful for forecasting cash arrival when a noticeable share of payments are echecks that clear days later.

The bigger picture
Why Gravity Forms PayPal needs a revenue dashboard
PayPal is still a default payment option for huge swathes of the WordPress audience, especially for nonprofits, education, association memberships and international orders where alternatives to card payments matter. The Gravity Forms PayPal add-on captures the data cleanly, gf_entry holds payment_amount, payment_status, payment_date and currency, and gf_entry_meta holds the PayPal IDs and payment-type flags. What is missing is the dashboard view that turns those rows into operational insight.
Finance teams should not be exporting CSVs every Monday to assemble last week's PayPal totals. Support should not be paging through entries one at a time to find Pending or Reversed transactions. Founders should not be cross-referencing PayPal's dashboard with WordPress just to figure out which form produced which charge.
SleekView Charts reads what Gravity Forms already writes and renders it as the dashboard the workflow always needed. Same PayPal transactions, finally available as a single screen in WP Admin.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Gravity Forms PayPal
The Gravity Forms gf_entry table plus the PayPal meta keys the PayPal add-on writes to gf_entry_meta (paypal_transaction_id, paypal_payer_id, paypal_payment_type, ipn_log). No data is duplicated, the cards run against the tables the add-on already maintains.
Yes. Both add-on flavours stamp transaction outcomes onto gf_entry through IPN or webhook. The dashboard reads the resulting fields the same way regardless of which integration mode is active.
Yes. PayPal's payment_status model includes Pending, Completed, Refunded and Reversed values. The pie splits across those states so the team can see the share of revenue that has actually cleared versus what is still in flight.
Yes. Echeck payments are stamped as paypal_payment_type of echeck on the entry and remain in Pending until they clear. Group by paypal_payment_type to forecast incoming cash separately from instant payments.
Yes. Filter to payment_status of Refunded or Reversed and sum payment_amount over time. The area card surfaces refund cadence, useful for triaging product or process changes that may be driving disputes.
No. Gravity Forms indexes gf_entry on payment_status and date_paid, and PayPal meta keys are indexed by entry_id. The group-by and sum queries run efficiently on sites with hundreds of thousands of paying entries.
Closely. payment_amount and payment_status mirror what Gravity Forms received back from PayPal via IPN. Subtle differences can appear if the PayPal dashboard reflects state changes (chargebacks, late refunds) that Gravity Forms has not yet recorded, but for the standard transaction lifecycle the figures match.
Yes. Each saved chart dashboard is scoped by WordPress capability. Finance sees the revenue and reconciliation cards while support sees the refund and Pending cards, each with its own filter presets.
