    I have a form that collects information for class room registration. The last question on the form is a selection: pay by paypal or pay by check. When this form is submitted they are redirected to a paypal form. Those that selected pay by check on the first form may exit. Those that selected paypal complete a few fields and continue to paypal to make their registration payment.

    The Entry ID of the first form is passed and saved in the paypal form. Also, the first form has an invisible drop down field named Payment Status and it contains the same values that paypal might return. It is set to a default value of pending.

    How can I get the payment status data that paypal sends to the second form and pass it back to the payment status field on the first form and update it?

    I know that's asking a lot but is it possible?

    Can you put all that logic in the first form? Make the payment choice a radio button selection, then if they select PayPal, unhide some form fields using conditional logic, they will them in and submit. They will be selected to PayPal. Your PayPal feed can be conditional as well.

    Check the box that says "PayPal condition [ ] Enable" and then select from the drop down so it says, basically, "Send to PayPal if" Payment (your radio button selection) "is" PayPal. These drop downs will change based on the actual values in your form.

    So, if the value of the radio button is NOT "pay by check" send them to PayPal. Does that work? I don't understand why there is a second form right now. Having two forms makes it hard to get the payment status from form 2 back into form 1. Having it all in one form will be easier if you can do it. Is there a reason you cannot?

    Because that would be too easy. Why do I make thinks so hard? I didn't understand that you could completely avoid the paypal submission with conditional logic.

    Thank for the help!
