Hi Bob,

I've downloaded a free Joomla Payment System; it is "Payage"(http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/payment-systems/26898).

Now, I'd like to integrate this component with Chronoforms Form; when user compiles the form and he clicks the final button, I'd like that next step is opening payment webpage.

Could you help me?

As alternative, do you know a free Joomla component, module or plugin that you have used with Chronoforms?

Thanks a lot.

Hi giuxmian,

I've never heard of Payage but have just has a quick look through their documentation and it looks as though you could use thier API in ChronoForms using Custom Code actions.

What payment gateway do you plan to use?

Bob

Hi Bob,

I'd like to use PayPal or credit card.

Hi giuxman,

That a decision that you need to sort out before you can work out how best to connect to it. You can connect to PayPal and most other Gateways directly from ChronoForms - but how you do that depends a lot on the gateway you choose and the type of connection and confirmation process that is needed.

Hi Bob,

I'd want a redirect where user can see, for example, an image and user can choose PayPal or credit card payment

Hi giuxman,

If you have a PayPal account already then just use the PayPal actions in Chronoforms, no need for extra 3rd party plugins.

Hi Max,

yes, I've a PayPal account.

I've seen PayPal actions in Chronoforms it are in trial version.
If I'd want to use PayPal actions I don't know if, at the end of trial period, I can continue to use them.

They don't have a time limit, but they change the total amount randomly, so you can use the trial version for testing, but when you decide to use them for production then you will need to purchase the "PayPal actions subscription".

Don't worry about this now and get them working as you like first!

Hi Max,

I applied your suggestion.

Now, In my form, user can choose one of four possible solutions; I wish that, depending on the field chosen by the user, redirect to PayPal obtains its value.

I give an example to better explain my question.

User can choose between:
Field 1: 10 €
Field 2: 20 €
Field 3: 30 €
Field 4: 40 €

If user chooses "Field 3", I would like that page needs to load PayPal € 30, if another user chooses "Field 2", I would like that page needs to load PayPal € 20, etc.. Is it possible?

In the "PayPal Redirect" action there is a field for "amount", just use your dropdown field name there, and set the options values in your dropdown to be the prices:

10=the first option
20=the 2nd option

and so on

Hi Max,

your suggestion is ok!! 😀

I've tested DateTime Picker and I think it is difficult to use by user, so I've thought to use three DropDown (one for day, one for month, one for year).

With it, I can have a data consistency problem because an user can compile that he is born, for example, 31/04/1967 but 31st April doesn't exist. Do you know if exists a solution that make a check between day's DropDown and month's DropDown?

Thanks a lot.

Hi giuxmian,

You can tie the dropdowns together using JS but this will be a lot of unnecessary work, the date picker works the same way as its in Windows for example, so there should be no problem with that, if you have v5 then there is a "Field mask" which can force the user to enter the data into a specific format, but this is for text boxes, not dropdowns!

This is not related to the Paypal question though🙂

Hi Max,

about last my post you're right, I've made a mistake 😀

Hi Max,

about PayPal question, I've add PayPal redirect trial.
So, I'd want to save in database user's data after he has done payment; how I can do it?

I attach image about actions.

Hi giuxmian,

If you want to save the data AFTER the payment then you will need to use the "PayPal listener" action, please search our FAQs for "PayPal", there is a tutorial on how to set this up, it requires some configuration!
