process without payment

  1. Hello some info on the questions below would be much appreciated.
    Is there the option to create an online order form with up to 1,000 products?
    Once the form is complete will the form add the prices up to give the user a total price?
    Can the user submit the form without having to go through the payment process?
    Is there an option to upload all products at once into the form from a saved microsoft excel document?

    Are these features available on personal, business and developer?

    Thanks for your help.

  2. You can have a form with 1,000 products on it if you so wish to take the plunge in creating it.

    We do have a total field that adds everything up.

    The user can submit without going through the payment process. You can have an option such as: Pay by Check or Credit Card - based on the option they choose (check would just submit and CC could go to PayPal). This is just a simple example.

    There is no option to upload products, because these are form fields - everything is handled in one spot on the form builder.

    The only feature that is not available to personal/business is if you do want to include a payment integration - those add-ons are for developer license holders only.

  3. Thanks for your reply Rob.

    So just to confirm, every product would have to be manually entered?

    Is it possible for the form to be submitted without seeing any options about payment at all?

    I need it purely as an online order form where products are selected, quantity is entered, that adds up a total price and then once submitted it goes to an email address. Where the info supplied from the order form is entered into a separate system and payment is processed that way.

    Its a bit of double handling, but the client needs it that way.

    I know the whole point is trying to sell gravity forms here, but is there any other plug in or online ordering forms you could recommend that would be more suited to these requirements?

    Thanks, Tim,

  4. Tim,

    Yes, each product field will need to be placed via the formbuilder. You can duplicate fields though, which could save you some time. You don't have to integrate any payment options at all on the form and can still use the product fields, with total to send the form order over. I personally have never listed 1,000 items on a single form - so I couldn't tell you if there was anything else out there for you to try.
