The Pay For Action (Entry Fee) extension allows you to:

to charge an entry fee for entering your contest.
to charge a fee for votes

Entry Fee – possible usage ways:

The contestant will fill out the entry form and then get into the email with a link to the payment form. In the popup success message, he will also see a link to the payment form. After going to the payment page, he can select Payment Gateway and will be directed to PayPal/2Checkout to complete the payment. Once the payment is made, the user will return to your website, and their entry will be live.
Alternatively, if you enable Moderation, after submitting the entry form, the contestant will be emailed that after the Admin review, he will receive a payment link to finalize the payment. After the Admin review is successful, the user will receive an email with a payment link. When going to payment, select Payment Gateway, and you will be directed to PayPal/2Checkout to complete the payment. Once the payment is made, the photo will appear on the Moderation page, and the admin must approve it.

Paid votes – possible usage ways:

Freemium mode: the user can use free votes and then purchase extra votes
Paid mode: only paid votes allowed

Supported payment gateways:

WooCommerce checkout – the virtual WC order was created and the user could pay using any of the WooCommerce gateway configured
Paypal Standart (live & sanbox)
