We are a very small company and want to pass the fees from PayPal and other payment gateways back to the customer.
So if I sell a product for $100, I want the form to show "handling fee" of $2.00 ($100*.002, or whatever I choose) and then the total amount to be billed to show as $102. This total would then be passed to PayPal for final procurement.
Is this possible with GF? Is there a tutorial?
Thanks for your help,

This is possible with our calculations fields. Right now we don't have much documentation on all of the different ways you can use calculations, but we can help you out if you get stuck. No worries.
I am trying to do this using the calculations, and I don't understand why I can't use the total ass a Merge Tag. Maybe it would cause an infinite loop or something. Is there a way I can just add 3% to the total? My form currently has 5 different possible totals based on different options and discounts. Do I need to create 5 different calculation fields? The logic to show and hide them doesn't seem to work that way.
All you would need to do is create one calculated product field that would add up all of the product fields on your current form using the merge tags for each and then multiply them by the 3%.
So something like: (MergeTag1 + MergeTag2 + MergeTag3) * .03
So even though I might only have selected Product 1 and 3, the calculated total will still be correct, because Product 2 would just return 0 in the calculation. Does that help?
Works like a charm! Thank you so much. Wish I posted on here earlier..
Actually a little off topic, but is there an easy way to add a step for the confirmation message? If I am doing a multi step form? So that once you hit submit it acts like it takes you to the last step?
Hmm, I'm not sure if I've seen this pulled off where the steps carry to the confirmation - it's definitely not a built-in feature - however I suppose you could fake it somewhat on your confirmation message/page using HTML/CSS for the styling/look.
Right, but how would I add a fake step to the actual form? hmm I will play around with it. If you think of anything please share.
@afgarcia86, I am going to close this Pre-Purchase topic. If you require more assistance, please start a new topic in the regular support forums with a link to your form, and we will help you there. Thank you.
