    I bought the single license package to test out GF before showing it to the client. (mock-ups, etc)

    I don't know if I need to tell the client to chip in $150 for the full developers to have access to paypal/freshbooks, etc. There just simply isn't any accessable information on it any where in GF.

    How easy is it to implement paypal with GF developer on already created forms? Does Freshbooks set up their paypal account as well via GF?

    Bottom line - do I need to write my own cURL for paypal or does GF allow for simplified integration using GF Developer?

    The FreshBooks Add-On and PayPal Add-On are separate plugins that you install and activate. They add functionality to Gravity Forms in the form of new Settings and menu items.

    You don't have to write any cURL to use the PayPal Add-On. It provides an interface for setting up the integration. The PayPal integration is 2 way integration using PayPal IPN so it communicates back and updates the entry with the payment status. Both Add-Ons run independent of each other so you can use both of them at the same time.

    Once you purchase a Developer License you have access to the Add-Ons download page on this site and the Add-Ons Documentation that explains how to use each of the Add-Ons.

    Ok. Does the paypal run via fopen or is there an option to set either fopen and cUrl?

    (some hosts don't allow one method or the other)

    The PayPal Add-On uses the WordPress HTTP API. It decides what to use (fopen, curl, etc.) based on what is available on the server. So it doesn't use one set method, it relies on built in WordPress functionality to select the best method based on the server capabilities.
