Using Product Field? and Paypal
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Good Day
I have purchased this form , because i believed it could do what I wanted.
I am having a little trouble setting up paypal and Product options onto a form.. I can't see and Doc on it.
What I want If possible IS a select Box of 3 Options -- Slandered /Pro /Pro+ and a form for the client details. Now I want them to be able to select 1 of the 3 options, then fill in the form, then pay Via Paypal the selected amount depending which option they choose?
The product Option am no sure what It does? Please advise.
Also I would Prefer a Select Box for the 3 options. Which Takes its default section form the URL, Which I believe is possible with the URL option.
Please Advise

Without any documentation (specifically about the Integrations) I too find myself at a loss as to how to do basically the same thing.
I'd like to use PayPal (and/or Stripe as well) to be able to do some alternate payment options. I'm experimenting with this feature of the add-on now, but I simply can't tell if the functionality I'd like is not there, or if it is there and I'm not knowing how to do it.
Really, the add-on so far is superb, and these integrations look to be an aspect that takes it to another level (which is great, an added value), but you are IMHO doing yourself a dis-service by not providing the necessary documentation (meaning your probably missing sales as a result- since your video documentation serves double duty as a sales aid!). On the other hand, I suspect you already know this and got busy, because you did start out great with the documentation.
I can create a separate ticket if you prefer.

Agreed - I rolled the payment gateway integrations out with the 2.0 release about a month ago, but didn't have the documentation in place for them yet. I'm going to try to get a tutorial video in place with regard to how these work because you're right: it's not that intuitive.
If you can hold out a few more days, I'll see if I can get those tutorial videos in place this weekend.

I did figure some or most of it out. Yeah, the implementation via the start value, increment and end value isn't exactly intuitive, but easy enough once you know how that works.
PayPal has a recurring payment (subscription) option in their API that I'm using in a customized version of another add-on. I needed this combined with a one time payment (all in a single "Buy Now" purchase). However, while I achieved that, it doesn't allow for any cart like functionality, nor can it capture unlimited additional data before sending the user to PayPal.
So I was hoping the PayPal integration in Formify would allow for me to use it in a phase 2 as a replacement, thereby allowing me to offer additional items, options, upsells etc. (since Formify is creating a cart before sending to PayPal).
Have you considered adding the subscription option?
I can totally see the Integrations, combined with new instructional/sales videos, positioning Formify as a go-to add-on in a completely new additional category of use cases (namely simple eCommerce payments via PayPal or Stripe).

How do you show a total of the form?
Hi,
Right now the total only appears when the form directs you to the payment gateway. Somewhat unusual but then this is not a full ecommerce package, more a form with ecommerce capability. However, it would be a nice addition if it did display the total prior to submission..

Phil's right - the goal here is not to make Formify into a full e-commerce package, but rather to enable some degree of e-commerce functionality with your forms, which is why there's no checkout process that shows a total.
Also - for those wanting to get started with Paypal integration, check out the tutorial here:http://68m.co/formify/integration-paypal/...
Well I certainly understand that, but I'm not even looking for ecommerce integration, just to send the form as an order, so having a total field would be appropriate. Are you still planning on adding one?
Good Day
Thanks for the link, this is basically what I wanted, I only Need 1 select Box for the product not the product then the price. But I can see it can do what I want. I just need a bit of documentation on how/what all the field options do.. Mostly the Product option.
I tried to set the Default product value but that didn't seem to work. I guess I need to set the product up as a hidden field and link to the selection of the options above.
With Thanks

Ok All
I am getting some very strange errors Now..
Some how I set the product price and quantity, but when it goes to checkout... It say Half a million .. Which is nice... If only?
I don't know what I have done to this form But its doing all sorts of crazy stuff Now.
Also I seem to have a bug moving Fields.. It shows them moved on the back end But doesn't move them... If i click away and back they reset to previous Positions.
Can only arrange them By adding them in the correct order?
Regards

Hi Carl,
The form does submit.
I can also move the fields in the forms but I see what you mean, you go away and they move back.
What the form seems to be doing is multiply the product price by the number of fields. I just created a test form on your site with the 3 fields with a product price of 197 and it says amount charged is 591 which is 3 x 197. I have never seen this behaviour before.
I notice you are on concrete 5.7.5.9. I would update to version 5.7.5.13
I would also uninstal and re-instal formify but before you re-instal check your db and remove any formify entries - if any are left.

Ok thanks
I will update on Monday to latest version, and try that... Can u give me the table names/fields/locations to check in the DB if you know them, as I know their are lots for Concrete5.
Ya the moving of fields shows it does in the backend.. But doesn't update on the site. And if you Nav Back in the dashboard they reset. I will see if an update fixes it. Also I am using chrome , maybe I will check on Mozzilla to see if it does the same.
Also, I got the hide function to work thanks but removed it to the basic to see what the hell it was doing...
The Only Issue I can see Is I would like it to Auto Select the Product box when shown, and deselect when hidden, Otherwise I can see a customer change the Selected Plan and it currently Hides the Other fine but leaves it selected so will bill them the wrong amount.
( Can I plug In a script to do this? )
Also Requires the user to Select Twice What Plan they want... But This might be useful as a Final Check before checkout. But the less clicks the better.
Thanks for the quick response

Hi Carl,
Currently, there is no way to get a group of products that are hidden via visibility to be unselected. If you have the start value as 1 for each product then all the products you have get selected as, of course, they are all simply hidden rather than hidden and unselected.
The only work around is as I had on my test form which was to set all of the products start quantity to 0 and include a label field with the instruction to tick the box for the product you select.
I have no idea if Justin (the developer) could implement a feature like this because as you say the less clicks the better.

Formal Refund Request: Please grant me a refund for the license assigned to this support request.
As I have had No update on this issue, and have tried all the fixes given.. I have also installed a fresh copy on another server with No theme and no content.. And it still gives me the same errors. I have no choice but to design the form my self.
I granted the refund, but I'm still happy to look at this if you would like me to. I'm unable to replicate any sort of miscalculation of the price error on my setup.
Good Afternoon.
I can see that the form Ad don has been updated. I was wondering If i could try the addon on my site, with the lastest version to see if it works with out the strange behavior from before.
f I could trail it for a couple of days to see if it will work the way I hope. I will be very grateful and will buy a licence straight away if it works. And more as i have a few sites which would benefit from this addon.
Please note, I have moved the site to a fully updated server, on a fresh concrete5 5.8 install. But I also still have the old site running with the crazy results I can test on also.
Thanks
Carl

I have set up a simple form to see if this is what you mean. Please check your personal messages for the link.
