Paypal Pro credit card fields OR pay with Paypal

    Hello, I just setup the Paypal Pro add-on and it seems to be working fine. One question, is it possible to let a user pay with Paypal still while using the Pro add-on? As in if they select an option then they leave and go to Paypal, or the other option I can display the credit card fields. I realize the whole point of the plugin is to not leave the site, but this is what I've been asked to try.
    Thanks

    Yes. This is what you would do:

    Add a field to your form (radio button or drop down) where you ask the user if they'd like to pay via Credit Card or PayPal. If they select Credit Card then use conditional logic to display a Credit Card Field.

    Then configure a PayPal Pro Feed for that form using the PayPal Pro Add-On. Make use of the "Condition" option that is the last option in the feed settings and configure a condition so that it is only triggered if the user selects Credit Card from the payment type selection field you added to your form.

    Then configure a PayPal Payments Standard Feed for that form using the PayPal Payments Standard Add-On. Make use of the "Condition" option as you did with PayPal Pro and configure it so it is only triggered if the user selects PayPal from the payment type selection field.

    If you configured things properly... the user will now be able to select the payment method and Gravity Forms will use the appropriate method when the form is submitted.

    Great thanks. I had sort of assumed I could only use the Pro add-on with the Paypal Pro account, but what you described will be perfect.
    Thanks, Dave

    Well I thought all was well but I have an additional question. The form has a drop-down for "is this a recurring or a one-time donation" and that would be used to send to two different Paypal feeds. If I try now to have both a Paypal and a Credit Card payment option then I can't use it as a condition for sending to Paypal. Is there a way to do multiple conditions on sending to paypal?

    Dave,

    For this, you'll most likely need to use separate forms for your one-time and recurring. Perhaps you could have two forms on the same page, either stacked or side by side. Or you could show/hide the appropriate form based on a selection on your page outside of gravity forms.

    The show/hide two forms idea would work. Thanks
