Sales order form

  1. I need to create a form so that people can order my book. I need to have a way for them to fill in their information, and then be taken to Paypal to pay for it. Is there any way to do this with Gravity Forms? From what I have seen, it appears to be mostly a way to get people to sign up for a newsletter.

    I hope I didn't waste my money purchasing this, because this is mainly what I need to do.

    Thanks

  2. Pamela, did you purchase the developer license? If so, you have access to the PayPal add-on. That will allow you to do what you are looking for.

  3. Yes, I purposefully ordered the developers license for that very reason. But there doesn't seem to be any way to get Paypal involved in the form. I downloaded the Paypal Addon and activated it, but when I hit the submit button on the test form I made, all it does is say "Thanks for contacting us! We will get in touch with you shortly", as if it was a request for tech support or something. I was hoping that this product would be able to set the form up to go directly to a Paypal window so the person could pay for it, and then to another page where they would get their download instructions. I see that on many of the products that I have bought online, and was hoping I could do it with Gravity Forms. I have tried to find some instructions on how to do this, but there doesn't seem to be anything. I feel like I am the first person to have purchased Gravity Forms for this purpose.

    Thanks for the response

    Pam
