I agree, this would be sweet. I would pay for this...

Both Paypal (possibly Google as well) checkout and math capabilities are things we have all talked about internally, and would really like to see in Wufoo. We see ourselves implementing a checkout in the following manner:

When building your form, you have the ability to set your Paypal api information in Form properties. Then, almost any field type can be designated as a Paypal field, where you can set a price. For example, you may have a registration form and you make a drop down like this:

Basic admission ($10.00)
Gold pass ($20.00)

The user selects one, and submits the form as normally. On submission, we direct the user to the paypal checkout. When the user pays, Paypal the messages our server with the transaction information, and we flag that submisison as paid.

There will obviously be a limit on how far we can go with shopping cart type forms. At some point, the API will be the best approach for building complex checkout forms, but we would like to integrate basic checkouts witht he GUI somehow. Not sure on a time frame, but initial coding for Paypal has begun, but it is not getting full dedication yet. We'll keep you updated.

That's great. Really look forward to it.

I'm a new paying member, what about using the technology you used to take my credit card? It was simple and sweet...and I would love to use it for my clients. Have a good one.

When you say PayPal, would this be 'plain' PayPal or would this include PayPal Pro? Either way, it will be much welcome.

Hello,

We currently use Freshbooks (http:www.freshbooks.com) for billing our clients and we love it! You sign up, cut and paste your information for your payment plug-in into their system (PayPal or Authorize.net or whatever else you use) and voila...you can start invoicing and accepting payment from your clients.

The problem is this: we are starting to offer services that we won't send invoices for. We are going to be selling services that people can sign up for just like Wufoo or Fresbooks or any other service on the web.

We can of course build our own forms, but wouldn't it be wonderful to sign up for Wufoo, cut and paste our Authorize.net transaction key (or other payment gateway) into Wufoo's system, create a form and start collecting payments in a few minutes?

Any chances of this happening?

Sincerely,

Sam

Hi Sam,

One thing I would like to do is create an example using our API on how somebody might create a payment system using Wufoo forms, but the credit card info is not collected by Wufoo.

That would be wonderful and appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

Any update with the paypal integration?

thanks

I am setting up Wufoo for a client and they are really excited about it!  More specifically, they are excited about the future prospect of PayPal Integration.

How's that coming along?  Any estimation on when it might be rolled out?

Wow - a lot can happen while you're away on vacation! Just discovered this new Paypal feature. Nice.

I'm wondering ... if I have a monthly subscription to sign up for, such as for hosting, couldn't I just title a form field "Silver - $10 a month" "Gold - $20 a month" etc. and then in month 2 Paypal will just bill them automatically? No need for the Wufoo form in subsequent months but just that first payment is handled by the Wufoo form?

Also let's say I close a deal over the phone... could I then email the Signup form to the client ... or how does it work? I send an email invite to go to the form?

Is there any way for Wufoo to automatically grab and populate some common form fields in Paypal such as name, address, email, etc?

Why! Pay Pal is wonderful.  Is there any restriction to the countries where form payments would be received?
