Chronoforms + Paypal

wilbertcaba 05 Sep, 2011
Hi!
I'm totally new with chronoforms and I want to know how to add a PayPall button in a form that once you finish your payment thru PayPal the form is succesfully submited and e-mailed.

What I did was to add the button code in the "on-submit" field but the thing is I don't want to receive any e-mail with the form untill the PayPal process is completed.

If posible, can someone help out?

Thanx in advance!

Hi Wilbert Caba,

To do what you ask measn that you need to have a PayPal account using IPN or the PayPal API. These are not simple to set up but the Built-in actions in ChronoForms V4 will make it a lot easier.

Check the PayPal docs to see what account you have and how it can interact with your site then build the form one step at a time. Building a simple for to test the process is almost always the best approach.

Thanx GreyHead for the diligent reply. I have all of my PayPal API information. Is there any kind of documentation for this plugin integration with chronoforms? Is it mandatory to have a knowledge of PHP in order to configure this plugin? All I found was an example of a paid registration using PayPal plugin in your page http://www.chronoengine.com/tutorials/chronoforms-plugins/437-paid-registration-using-paypal-plugin.html
I need to solve this asap. I'm relying in chronoforms to feed my customer's needs since it has PayPal integration and need to find documentation about it!
Thanx again!

Hi Wilbert Caba,

Please check how to use the V4 mechanism here:

Then all what you will need to do is to configure the PayPal actions, all config is paypal related stuff, no PHP required for basic things, straight forward.
