How do you have the client fill out the form BEFORE they pay with paypal.

  1. Much like how GF did it when I purchased from your site. I love how you had the form pop up in it's own window and after I filled out the info, I was directed to paypal. I'm assuming you used GF for that

  2. You would need to PayPal addon for Gravity Forms. Yes they would fill out the form, then submit to be re-directed to PayPal for purchase. I have built many complex forms and use it everyday to run my real estate business. http://flatfeerealty.com/ and http://realtyrealized.com/

  3. Fred,
    thanks, I do have the PayPal addon and I have it installed. I didn't see the documentation for the re-direct to pay pal where can I find that. In short, the form works perfect, where and how do I connect it to the paypal add on.

    when you're ready to purchase, how can the form be on a pop up window where you can still see the main site underneath?

    thanks for any help

  4. You can find documentation for the PayPal Add-On here:

    http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/PayPal_Add-On

    The PayPal Add-On adds a PayPal link under the Forms navigation in your WordPress Dashboard. You have to click on the PayPal link and create a new PayPal feed. The PayPal feed is how you configure a form to integrate with PayPal. You select which PayPal account the payment should go to, which form you want to integrate with and then you map PayPal fields to your form fields as well as configure various optional settings.

    Once you create a PayPal Feed the PayPal integration will kick in when the form is submitted *IF* the Total of Pricing Fields on that form is greater than $0 and Pricing Field selections have been made. If the total is $0 then it's not going to pass the user to PayPal because there is nothing to purchase.

    Gravity Forms doesn't create popups. So if you wanted to implement your form in a modal window or popup you would have to utilize some sort of script that handles that and embed the form within the script. It's not a built in feature.

    Is there a way to make a choice in payment. For example if the purchaser could have a choice to use paypal or not to use paypal and just wire the funds later but still send in his order. Is there a way to give them this choice in the forms?

  6. Yes, you can give them this choice in the form. You can create a drop down or radio button where they select if they want to use PayPal or Mail a check, etc.. Then in your PayPal settings for the PayPal Feed for that form you can use the PayPal Condition and configure what selection must be made in order for the PayPal integration to happen.
