Passing Form Data To PayPal

  1. I have created a order form containing Standard Feild & Pricing Feild. I have also enabled PayPal Add-On and set up the IPN and a Feed. I am wondering what settings I have to have in the Order Form under "Form Settings" in order for all the data that the user enters get passed to PayPal where they can see what they selected on my website and then purchase off of PayPal. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

  2. Matt, you should be mapping the fields in your feed settings accordingly. Do you have a link to your form?

  9. Matt, looks like you have two options:

    One is if your first product field on the form actually requires a drop down like you have it configured now (although the choices in that drop down are the default choices ex. first choice, second choice, etc…) then you need to set it's visibility so everyone can see it and configure the field correctly.

    Two if you want to primarily use all option fields and doen't want a product selector, then the solution is still to have a Product Field but set it's field type to Hidden. Then simply give it a Field Label which will be used for the Product Name and a price, which can be set to $0.00 if you want the option selects to determine the price.

    It looks like it should be configured as a hidden product field with the field label set to Service, which means the Product name would be Service and a price set as $0.00.

  10. To add to what Rob said above, here is what the issue was.

    When using Gravity Forms Pricing Fields to create an order form, everything primarily hinges on the Product Field. Quantity multiples the Product. Options are Options of a Product and require a Product.

    The way you had configured your form, there was no Product field. You had a Product field but:

    A) It wasn't fully configured, was set to a drop down field type but had default values as the choices. Then it's visibility was set to Admin Only, which effectively hides it on the form. The problem with this is it means no Product field appears on the form to the user.

    B) The Product field on the form wasn't the Product field the Options were associated with. It appears you had deleted another Product field and then added a new one. But the Options were still associated with the old field. This was easily corrected by adding a new Product to the form, then editing each Option and making sure they were associated with the correct one.

    We corrected this by doing the following...

    Edited your existing Product Field, gave it a Field Label of Service since this is a service form so i'm assuming what you are selling is Service. Then we set it's field type to hidden and it's price to $0.00. Doing this means the field is there, but the user doesn't see it and the Option Field selections ultimately drive the price. Finally we went to the Advanced tab and set the visibility to everyone instead of admin only.

    The form now saves correctly and redirects to PayPal when the total is greater than $0.00.

  11. Thank You very much, I really appreciate it.

  12. As I mentioned in my reply above, your form is already doing this.

    I outlined above what changed I made to your form to correct the issue.

    If you preview and submit it, it will then redirect you to PayPal to complete the transaction.
