Membership registration and PayPal

  1. We have a developer's license and I have activated the PayPal plugin. How do I integrate this with my PayPal account?
    Also, I created a lengthy membership form that people have to fill out before paying. The set up is here http://www.pmcommunity.org/membership-registration-part-1/
    When I add class to the css (following this http://www.gravityhelp.com/css-ready-classes-for-gravity-forms/) they do not save when I update the form.
    I an trying to have some items next to each other so the form isn't so long.
    So my questions are:
    1. How do I integrate PayPal?
    2. How do I customize the form and have it save? (I've tried everything)
    3. Is the user registration plugin something I should use?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

  2. 1. To integrated PayPal, navigate to Forms > Paypal, then create a feed. The link will look like this for your site, if you don't have any feeds yet:

    http://www.example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_paypal&view=edit&id=0

    2. Modifications to the look of the form do not happen in the form itself, but in your theme's stylesheet. Gravity Forms is designed to inherit much of the styling from your form, but if you don't like the way it looks once the form is embedded in your site, you can change the way things look by adding specific rules to your stylesheet.

    The CSS Ready Classes you linked to can be used by going to your form, editing the form field, and clicking the Advanced tab. Then enter the CSS ready class in the field "CSS Class Name". Have you done that and that's not working for you? I looked at your form and it appears that there are some ready classes in use (gf_left_third, gf_left_half, gf_right_half, for example). Are you unhappy with the way specific elements are displaying in your form? If so, please point out the items that you want to change.

    3. If you want members to become WordPress users in your site, then yes, I would recommend using the Gravity Forms User Registration Add-on. How do you deal with people who sign up now? Are you using another membership-type plugin?
