SleekView for Gravity Forms PayPal
SleekView reads gf_entry plus the PayPal transaction meta the PayPal add-on stamps onto each paying entry (transaction id, payer id, payment type) and renders the queue as a sortable, filterable table with amount, status and type as real columns alongside entry ID and form.

Gravity Forms takes PayPal payments. The queue needs a real revenue table.
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 list paying entries across forms as a single revenue table, filter by payment type, or surface Pending and Reversed cohorts at a glance. Finance teams end up exporting to CSV, or jumping to the PayPal dashboard which does not know which form produced which charge.
SleekView reads gf_entry and the PayPal meta directly. Amount, currency, payment status, payment type, payer ID and PayPal transaction ID sit as real columns next to entry ID and form. Sort by amount, filter to Pending across every form, bulk-export a reconciliation cohort against the matching PayPal statement.

- Amount, payment status, payment type and payer ID as sortable columns

The bigger picture
Why Gravity Forms PayPal needs a revenue table
PayPal remains a default payment option for huge swathes of the WordPress audience, especially 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 table 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 the PayPal dashboard with WordPress just to figure out which form produced which charge.
SleekView reads what Gravity Forms already writes and renders it as the table the workflow always needed.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Gravity Forms PayPal
The Gravity Forms gf_entry table plus the PayPal meta the add-on writes to gf_entry_meta (paypal_transaction_id, paypal_payer_id, paypal_payment_type, ipn_log). No data is duplicated, the table runs against the tables the add-on already maintains.
Yes. Both add-on flavours stamp transaction outcomes onto gf_entry through IPN or webhook. SleekView 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. Sort or filter on the status column to 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. Filter by paypal_payment_type to forecast incoming cash separately from instant payments.
Yes. Filter to payment_status of Refunded or Reversed and sort by date_paid. The table surfaces the cohort that needs follow-up, useful evidence for 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 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 the standard transaction lifecycle matches.
Yes. Each saved SleekView is scoped by WordPress capability. Finance sees the revenue and reconciliation table while support sees the refund and Pending cohort, each with its own filter presets.
