widget that calculates quote

  1. Hello,
    I am very interested in your product, but I have a couple of questions.

    I am wondering if I can set up your form to calculate a price based on number of words multiplied by a dollar amount? Example, someone submits a 5,000 word document, which I will edit for .02 cents per word: 5,000 words x $.02 = $100. Similar to this example (part 1 only): http://www.eliteediting.com/pricing/

    I would like to set up my form so that they enter the number of words in a field, then choose the type of service (via drop down or radio buttons; the pricing would be programmed into each service). They click a "get quote" button and see what they owe.

    Also, I would like this price to populate in a Paypal form, when they push Paypal's "buy now" button.

    Thank you for your help.

  2. You can do this. Calculations are built in to Gravity Forms. I'm unsure if you can use the Buy Now buttons from PayPal, since you will need to change the price. If the price can be changed in the button code provided by PayPal, you'll be able to do this without one of our PayPal add-ons. However, if the price in the button cannot be changed, then you will need a PayPal add-on and a developer license for Gravity Forms.
