    I have a client who has an application form for their services. The form includes a $30 application fee. I have the form set-up with Paypal. But, some clients are not paying the fee after submitting the form.

    Is there a way to not accept the form without payment?

    You can not prevent the form submission from happening as this is what directs the user to PayPal; however, on your PayPal feed are options to:

    • disable the admin notification until the payment has been received
    • disable the user notification until the payment has been received
    • if your form is setup to create a post, you can disable the post creation until the payment has been received
    • if your form is setup to create a user (via the User Registration Add-on) you can disable the user creation until the payment has been received
    • if your form is setup to create a site (via the User Registration Add-on), you can disable the site creation until the payment has been recevied

    If you have custom code tied to the gform_after_submission hook, you can instead tie that custom code to the gform_paypal_fulfillment hook which would only be triggered once the payment has been received.

    Are you saying that this can be done with the custom code your referred to? I am not clear.

    The bullets I listed are all functionality currently supported by the GF PayPal add-on or the GF User Registration add-on.

    The bit about custom code means that if you have any custom code you are currently triggering after a form submission (via the gform_after_submission hook) you would want to tie that custom code to the gform_paypal_fulfillment hook).
