How To Setup Pay for Post?

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

    We currently have several forms for visitors to create Post entries. We have the different post types setup as products in eShop and the forms do a confirmation redirect to the eShop product page to collect payment using PayPal. We would like to use the GF PayPal Addon for this instead and make it so there is a linkage between the post entry and payment, so we can be sure they paid before we post their entry without having to check in two places to confirm payment. Whew, I hope that makes sense.

    I have the PayPal Addon and have configured the PayPal settings, but I am not sure how to setup the form for this. Do you have any examples of to show how this should be setup or can you explain it to me?

    Our forms use the "Better Pre-submission Confirmation" described here:

    Thanks for any help!

    Set up your form to create a post. Then map the feed (go to Forms > PayPal and create a new feed.) Once you enter your PayPal email address, type of transaction and select the form, you will see at the bottom a checkbox option "Create post only when payment is received.". That only appears when there are post fields in the form. If your form is configured correctly to create a post, with post fields, you'll have this option.

    If you have trouble, let us know.

    For my form, there is no charge for a standard post, but we charge a fee if they want to have it added to the Event Calendar. Is there a way to make it post the free ones without payment, but require a payment if they want us to also manually add the details to our even calendar?

    Yes, if the total on the form is $0, the transaction won't go to PayPal. If you have prices associated with their choice of post, and there is no cost for a plain post, and they have to add an option (with additional cost) to get their post on the event calendar, then you don't need to do anything else to make this work. $0 transactions won't be sent to PayPal. All others will.
