Pay per Form Submission via PayPal

    I am setting up a form that requires a fee for submission - is there an easy implementation using Gravity Forms?

    I can pull this off by using a couple of plugins, but i would prefer to keep everything simple and cut down on extraneous plugins if possible.

  2. There is a PayPal add-on for Gravity Forms that's nearing completion now and should be in beta very soon. It would be able to manage the paid submission for you but it won't be ready for public release for a least a few more weeks.

    Thanks Kevin, I will implement an alternate solution for now and keep an eye out for the PayPal Add-on.

  6. The PayPal add-on is nearing Beta status and we are planning to release it along with Gravity Forms v1.5 later this year. Once it is ready for beta testing it will be made available to Developer License holders on this site.

    VERY excited for this. One question - will users be able to update/review their paid form submissions if they are logged in? Or is there a way to accomplish this? Thank you.

  8. Gravity Forms does not manage post content, so no. Gravity Forms won't allow them to update/review posts created using a paid form. You would have to set it up so that they have to be logged in in order to access the post form, and assign their username as the author and then use WordPress built in capabilities along with maybe a role management plugin to grant them access to posts they created using a Gravity Form via the standard post editor in the WordPress dashboard.

    But we do plan on looking into how we can enable displaying form entries on the frontend to end users. Either way it would require they be logged in to access and view so that you only show entries associated with their email account.

    I've implemented this sort of functionality using a combination, at the moment, of Wishlist Member (for logon member access) and Scribu's excellent Front End Editor plugin. It's certainly doable and I'm confident it will be doable once this awesome-sounding Add-On is released. If only we could define "later this year"... :)
