Hi,
I'm working on a project where users configure a service and pay with paypal.
The problem is that for the kind of service I'm dealing with, payment should be made after service is given, and not when asking for it (in the form).
Unfortunately asking money in advance destroy my conversion rate (proven)
Is there some way to notify non-member users via email sending them the paypal link with a click in admin?
Not currently, no. You are looking for some kind of invoicing software, and that's not something Gravity Forms does out of the box.

Hi David,
I dont' need invoicing, I just would like to send an email with a link
In the entry I have total price and email address. I was just thinking about a mail() function but I need to relate it to an entry in some way to retrieve price and email.
Or maybe I can send that link in the notification email to user, just after form submission...
Gravity Forms doesn't do broken interactions. It is a very linear system. The way Gravity Forms is set-up is as follows:
User enters data -> Goes to Payment -> Returns & WordPress E-mail Notification. You can't break up any of that without heavily customizing how Gravity Forms works.
You couldn't even build a Paypal Invoice payment request link in a notification as it currently stands.
I do appreciate what you are trying to do, but it is currently outside of Gravity Forms' wheelhouse. You could hire a developer to customize Gravity Forms to do this but it would be relatively extensive. We have a job board on our site, and many people have had success with sites like Jobs.WordPress.net

Sorry to insist, just another small question:
could I use wp shortcodes inside notification?
Maybe writing an external function I could render a paypal button/link with shortcodes in notification content?
Thinking about it, I don't even need the Paypal Add-On:
User enters data -> notification is sent with paypal link/button
and that's all.
You are correct, you wouldn't need the Paypal Add-on for this. You could create a function that would have a paypal payment link in it. You could then go into a submission and have it re-send the notification, and include the payment link in the notification.
You would have to create a function to also stop the notification from sending the first time when a user filled out the form. It is interesting and could be done, but again, most of it isn't isn't really "within" Gravity Forms.
As for a WP shortcode within a notification, I'm not certain. I don't want to say "no", but I'll have to check with the developers.
Yes you can run a shortcode in the notification body.
Shortcodes definitely work in the notification area. Have you tried it already?
