    Hello,
    I have a few pre purchase questions about gravity form for paypal standard.
    How does this work? What do I have to do to set this up?
    Do I set up shipping in PayPal or does this form take care of it?
    Will be using UPS for shipping.
    The most important question is this: Is there a way I can add a future shipping date for customer to choose items to be delivered? Example: Customer buys item on a Monday but does not want item to be delivered to someone else until Saturday. Can I set this form up so it will pull Saturday shipping charges instead of on the day customer bought item, which is on a Monday. UPS has a higher shipping rate to be delivered on Saturdays. It is most important I can set this up like I explained. Thank you!

    Gravity Forms is not an ecommerce or shopping cart solution, so shipping charges are not going to be handled in a very robust manner. You can set a shipping charge on a form, but it will be a fixed price, or a limited number of different prices, determined by using conditional logic, but it will never reflect actual shipping fees, or be able to pull shipping charges from anywhere.

    I don't believe Gravity Forms will handle the shipping charges for you in a satisfactory manner. I don't think Gravity Forms is a good fit for you.
