You are correct.</p> <p>The User Registration related options do not appear in the PayPal settings until you have created User Registration settings for that form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-only-when-a-payment-is-received#post-42580 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:45:06 +0000 cathyh 42580@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>And after linking the User Registration form to the same form as the PayPal form, I now get the options that I was expecting/hoping to see</p> <blockquote><p> Register user only when a payment is received.<br /> Update user when subscription is cancelled. </p></blockquote> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-only-when-a-payment-is-received#post-42570 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:23:51 +0000 cathyh 42570@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ah - and the light bulb goes off. There isn't an "option" to enable this. For anyone else that's confused, here's what I did...</p> <p>1. Created my GF Form<br /> 2. Created my PayPal form based on the GF Form<br /> 3. Created my User Registration form based off the same GF Form</p> <p>When the user purchases something via my PayPal form, it is also filling out the User Registration form. In other words, the GF Form I created is being used as the PayPal form and the User Registration form.</p> <p>I haven't tested further to see if the user account isn't enabled untile the IPN is received, but at least now I see how the elements are tied together. I hope this helps someone else. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-only-when-a-payment-is-received#post-42562 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:38:32 +0000 cathyh 42562@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I also see this in the documentation.</p> <blockquote><p> Select available PayPal options. Options allow you to determine when notifications are sent and if posts and/or users are created before or after payment is received. </p></blockquote> <p>Which indicates that the option should be somewhere on the PayPal Transaction Settings, but I don't see an option for that listed - my screen looks exactly like the screen in the documentation except for an additional configuration option for "PayPal Conditon" (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/File:Paypal-integration.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/File:Paypal-integration.png</a>)</p> <p>Does one of these options do what is described and the verbiage is just not obvious? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/register-user-only-when-a-payment-is-received#post-42511 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:04:54 +0000 cathyh 42511@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The documentation for the add on (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/User_Registration_Add-On" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/User_Registration_Add-On</a>) states </p> <p>"Register user only when a payment is received.<br /> When this option is enabled, the user will not be registered until the PayPal payment has been received."</p> <p>I don't see an option anywhere that seems to do this? Is there really a checkbox somewhere?</p> <p>I have created my product form and the corresponding GF PayPal AddOn form (subscription). I have created my user registration form and the corresponding GF Registration AddOn form, but I don't see any way to tie everything together.</p> <p>Maybe I'm misunderstanding the intended GF flow. Ideally, I would like the user to subscribe via the PayPal form and then when the IPN comes back have the user account created or enabled. Honestly, given the asynchronous nature of the IPN, I'm not clear how the Registration form would ever be invoked.</p> <p>Any help would be massively appreciated. I'm sure I'm just not connecting the dots. Thanks! </p>
