    Thanks in advance!
    1) Is there any quantity limitations? My current form plug has a 99 limit form limitation.

    2) I wanting a separate form for each client (user). I want each form to email the client directly. Can the forms be logged to show how many hits each form gets from the net?

    3) With the developers version, can I use on client sites as well?

    4) With the invoicing that can be created, can clients login, view, and maintain multiple invoices from any sort of invoice management page?

    5) I'm also interested in selling your product (affiliate) off my design site. Any additional info on this is appreciated.

    kind regards
    Scott

    1) I'm not sure what you mean by Quantity limitations. Do you mean the number of fields a form can have? You are only limited by your web servers ability to process them. There is no set limitation.

    2) Yes, forms track how many views and how many entries they receive.

    3) Yes, you can use it on client sites. Just keep in mind that you are the license owner so you are the only one that will have support access. Your clients will not be able to access Gravity Forms support resources.

    4) I'm not sure what you mean by invoicing. There is no invoice management page for clients to login and access.

    5) You can find affiliate program information here: http://www.gravityforms.com/affiliates

    Carl,
    Thanks for the quick response!

    1) I'm wanting a separate form for each client (user). The form should email the client directly. Good news that the forms can be logged! My problem is I expect approximately a 1000 users when the site is up and running. Can I have this many unique forms (again, one for each user)?

    My current form plug can only make 99 unique forms before it overloads. This is what I mean by limitation. Can I have up to a 1000 forms with this plugin? Each emailing that specific user?

    2) This is very nice! Very important for me.

    4) It appears to me that you can generate an invoice from one of your forms, right? I guess I'm wanting to know how your plug keeps track of this. Does the invoice automatically connect with the Paypal plug?

    It also appears that these invoices can be set up as recurring monthly charges as well. How does your plug keep track of this? Does it email clients automatically? Does the email to the client just give a payment link? Is there any kind of payment history to track the invoices?

    I was hoping this plug would handle all my invoicing stuff as well, as I haven't found an invoicing solution I like yet. I will need to invoice a client immediately after contact as these forms will be on an order page. I will need to set these invoices up as recurring monthly charges that can be adjust based on the clients needs. Then I will need to see the payment history somehow. I wasn't sure how that was accomplished.

    Again, regards
    and Thank You
    Scott

    You could have 1000 forms, but it doesn't seem very realistic as far as maintaining and managing that many forms. There are easier ways to accomplish what you want to do using 1 form and dynamically setting who the notification should be sent to using custom code. I would strongly suggest looking at ways to accomplish what you want to do through customizations rather than building and maintaining 1000 forms. It would be much more efficient.

    Gravity Forms integrates with PayPal through our PayPal Add-On and allows you to create order forms that integrate with PayPal. The user fills out the form, the form entry is created and the user is then passed to PayPal to complete the transaction. PayPal will communicate back to your site and update the form entry marking it as paid once payment is received.

    Your payment history, etc. you could see in your PayPal account and by looking at entry data for that form.

    It can do order forms and simple PayPal payment integration this way. It is not a complete invoicing solution. It isn't going to do what FreshBooks and other invoicing services do because it's a general form management tool and isn't an invoice tool. It doesn't send invoices via email. A user fills out a form and is then handed to PayPal to complete the transaction. It's up to you to get that user to the appropriate form to complete the transaction.

    Carl,

    Thanks again for the quick support! Been a crazy week for me so I'm just getting back now.
    First off, I'd like more info on this custom code you speak of. I'm expecting approx a 1000 clients eventually so that's great. Each client is going to have their own profile page. On that page, I'd like a form that goes directly to my client from the viewer on my site. This is to eliminate a link out to the clients site.

    If I can make one form and insert code that will do that, my ears are wide open! I use thesis if that helps. I will have a form that allows the client to sign up that will be connected to paypal as you suggest. And after reading more about your add-ons and what Freshbooks does, I'm probably going to use Freshbooks as this service seems perfect for me and, of course, very professional.

    I'm sold on your plug, and I think coupled with Freshbooks, it will solve all my contact/invoicing needs. I also intend to sell your plug off my new design site as well. Look for my order in the next month or so as I've got about 600 pages to design yet. :)

    Any ideas on this code you speak of, and how to implement it, is greatly appreciated as well. Thanks again!

    Scott
