Hello,

I want to use Gravity forms, Paypal addon and the user registration to accomplish this scenario below so advise if it is possible...am using wordpress

I am creating a form where a user will register if they are non members and the form will ask for some custom details ( i know this can be handled easily ) but the form will have a field for an amount, i would like this field to be populated based on our commision ie if user inputs $20 based on a % commision which can be flat or variable based on how much the amount is it recalculates itself so for example for a flat 10% commission it would have the $20 be $22 which would go to the total amount.

if it is variable meaning any amount between $10-$20 the commision is 10% if it is between $21 - $30 it will be 8% then based on what the user sets as the amount the forms will calculate the total amount based on the variable commision rate.

I know the paypal and user registration addons can do this but can the gravity forms accomplish the setup/configuration ?

Gravity Forms can handle it, but it won't do it automatically. You can modify the total, but it will require some custom code. Here is a high level example of how to handle this.

http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_Forms_Pricing:_Adding_Tax

Modifying the price requires that multiple things happen at the same time, and that is one example of how to accomplish it. Your math would be more complicated than a simple percentage tax being added, but the process would be the same.

There might also be a way to handle this on the front end with pricing fields, but I have not thought that through. If there are a finite number of prices, this approach might work. If you are allowing free-form input of the amount, this will not work.
