Combining recurring payments with option for a single payment

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms PayPal Add-On

    I'm working on a form for a business selling a service, where there are three purchase options:

    1. Paying for a 3 month period up front by credit card (one time payment, no recurring payments)
    2. Paying for one month at a time using recurring payments, for a user-specified number of months
    3. Paying offline

    I've run into a couple of problems when setting up the PayPal add-on.
    One, I don't see a way to make the number of recurring payments user-specified. Is that just not possible?
    Two, do I just need to create a separate paypal transaction to handle the non-recurring payment?

    Currently the PayPal Add-On does not support user specific recurring payment settings. The settings are configured by the admin.

    You can create a separate PayPal feed to handle the non-recurring payment but that also means you would need a second form because currently you can only have one PayPal Feed per form.

    We will be changing the PayPal Add-On to support multiple PayPal Feeds per form with only the one triggered by conditionals being utilized.

    Ok, thanks for the info. I suppose one stopgap solution would be to setup separate payment forms, and direct the user to the appropriate one on completion of the initial (registration) form, based on their indicated payment choice. Does that seem like the best way to accomplish this?

    That would be the only way to accomplish this right now. Once we update the PayPal Add-On to support multiple configurations per form you could then consolidate it into a single form with multiple PayPal Feed configurations.
