Need to get more information on how to create and use FormSpring for online orders and payment forms? This section allows you to learn more about each of these and find out how you can use FormSpring to quickly build and implement payment forms to your website
You can use one payment option, such as PayPal, on your order form, or you can use two or more payment options. Each payment option will need to be set up separately under Settings > Payment Integration.
Today’s post in our “Online Forms That Convert” series is from James Paden of Xemion. More information about James can be found at the bottom of this post.
When creating online order forms, whether for a large corporation, a small business or a non-profit, there are three questions your visitors will always ask:
For the last two weeks, I’ve been blogging about creating some basic order forms with FormSpring. We’ve covered both single item and multi-item forms. This week, I thought I’d go back to a single item form, but this time show how to calculate tax, shipping, and a total, all on the form, instead of on the payment integration page.
Last week, I wrote about how to create a single item order form, but what if you have more than one item and want to integrate your form with PayPal? Well, today I’m going to show you the most basic way to do this. I’m going to skip all of the steps from my last blog post, so if you haven’t read that one, you should head there now.
We get a lot of questions here at FormSpring about setting up basic order forms, so I thought over the next several weeks I could get a little more in-depth with order forms here in the blog than we do in our support documentation. For today, I’m going to show you how to build a simple single-item form and integrate it with Paypal.
Spring is here and that means the spring/summer sports leagues are kicking into high gear. We have a wide variety of sports and rec leagues who already use FormSpring for online registration/sign up forms and one big issue that many leagues have is getting the players and their families to fill out the necessary forms and turn them in the first day of practice.
If you’re using your a FormSpring form to accept sensitive data, such as credit cards or social security numbers, you must enable all of our security features in order to protect your data. These security features are not enabled by default and are only available on paid plans at the Professional level or higher. The security features available to you are SSL, PGP and data encryption.
A while back we wrote about the integration of Google Checkout and FormSpring forms. At the time we wrote that, nonprofit entities were able to process their donations with Google Checkout with no fees or set up costs.
Like Authorize.Net, First Data is a payment gateway service provider, allowing merchants to accept credit cards and electronic checks through their web sites. It’s also now one of the payment integration methods available here at FormSpring.
Continuing our theme of new payment integration features, we are excited to preview our expanded PayPal functionality. With the new payment integrations we also expanded PayPal so now you have the ability to accept recurring subscriptions and donations using your FormSpring forms. These new features are useful for an unlimited number of possibilities, but some that spring to mind include taking donations for a non-profit, recurring subscriptions for a paid membership website, recurring dues for a club or organization, donations to support free software, etc. The possibilities are endless!
