how to handle forms in multiple pages?
Kind of – I would suggest using init. This would probably be the best way of doing it since you can process the form as described below. wp_head would work though.

Submitting post to database then redirecting to paypal
Not sure how I ran into this question one year later, but since it is unanswered… Instead of self-submitting the form and then redirecting to Paypal, you can instead have the paypal url as your form’s action, but use Ajax to save the form data before the form is submitted to Paypal.

Can I verify nonce which was generated on a different WP site?
