Conditional Payment Options and Gateways with Gravity Forms

This tutorial will be helpful if you’re trying to figure out how to allow your users to select from multiple payment types and/or gateways with a single Gravity Forms form. This is also referred to as Conditional Payments.

For example:

• Do you need multiple payment types, i.e Credit Card, Check, Cash?
• Do you need the option for different payment gateways, i.e Stripe, PayPal, Square?

Yes, you can even do both in the same form!

Prerequisites

• Gravity Forms Pro or Elite License
• Your Payment Accounts Setup (i.e Stripe, Square, PayPal)
• The Gateway Add-Ons installed and connected

Note: I will not be showing you how to setup your Payment accounts or how to setup the individual gateway add-ons.

The Gravity Forms doc site does have detailed tutorials on how to setup the gateway add-ons and I have linked to the three I will be using in this tutorial below:

• Setting Up The Stripe Add-On
• Setting Up The Square Add-On
• Setting Up the PayPal Standard Add-On

Part 1: Creating Your Form

This is basically the same process you would follow to create any type of form, however, in this case we will need a couple specific form fields and some conditional logic.

1. A Product Field
2. Credit Card Fields
3. Radio or Dropdown Choice Fields

The Steps:

1. Go to Forms > New Form
2. Name your form
3. Add the desired fields to your form
4. Setup the conditional logic

This video provides the instruction for steps 1-3 above.

This video will walk you through step #4, setting up the conditional logic.

Part 2: Setting up Payment Feeds

Now, we need to get your forms connected to the different payment gateways. Creating feeds is pretty much the same across all add-ons, but I have put together a short video showing you how to setup these feeds.

The Stripe Feed

The Square Feed

The PayPal Feed

Part 3: Setting up Conditional Payments

This is the part most people miss or just don’t understand. But it is the most important part to making conditional payment options and gateways work.

We will be modifying the feeds we created in the previous step for all three gateways.

Technically we could have set this up when creating the feeds, but I wanted to be able to clearly explain this part without the added steps of setting up the feed.

The Stripe Feed

The Square Feed

The PayPal Feed

The Wrap Up

After completing the steps outlined above, you will have a form setup and ready to accept payments from multiple payment gateways, and in different payment types (i.e cash, credit card, etc).

In this video you can see all your hard work come to life:

It really is just a process of setting up the correct conditional logic and making sure you don’t forget Part 3, setting up the conditional logic on the payment feeds.

What’s Next?

I will be posting two more tutorial that will show you how to build a form that uses Conditional Payments to accept donations on a one-time or recurring process and how to setup a form to accept a downpayment that rolls into a recurring monthly charge after the first 30 days.
