As a small business owner, you might need to create Gravity Forms payment forms with pricing fields to accept payments, especially if you don’t have a proper storefront set up. For larger companies, having a payment form is essential.

In this article, we’ll explain how you can add payment and pricing fields to your Gravity Forms and use GF eCommerce Fields to make your forms more user-friendly.

By adding payment forms and pricing fields to Gravity Forms, you can display pricing information, total payment amount, accept payments, offer discounts, create custom order forms, and adjust tax-specific details.

When you might need to add pricing fields to Gravity Forms

There are tons of use case scenarios where it makes sense to set up Gravity Forms payment and pricing fields rather than use a full-blown eCommerce plugin like WooCommerce. It’s a quick and easy way to accept payments (including recurring payments) through various payment gateways including credit card payments, PayPal, and Stripe. It’s particularly useful if you need to offer online payment methods.

For example, if you want to organize a Black Friday sale or end of season sale, you could use Gravity Forms to accept payments at checkout rather than setting up an eCommerce WordPress plugin for a limited time only.

You can also use Gravity Forms payment and pricing fields to set up pricing variations such as for selling products by weight or offering optional 2-day delivery. You can set this up with the GF Conditional Pricing perk to enable conditional logic in order to create flexible pricing levels.

If you sell products to different types of customers, you can use GF eCommerce Fields to apply discounts on the form. For example, if you’re selling to retail customers and B2B buyers, you could offer your B2B customers a percentage discount.

I bought Gravity Perks and installed the GP eCommerce Fields, which gave me the ability to add the discount that I wanted to include on the form.

If you’re running a jewelry store, online bakery, or international clothing brand, you could benefit from simplifying the way your business accepts online payments. And the easiest way to do this is by using the Gravity Forms plugin with GF eCommerce Fields.

The GF eCommerce Fields perk helps you make Gravity Forms more eCommerce-friendly. You can use it to offer customers discounts on their orders or charge tax.

You can configure the Discount form field to apply flat discounts or percentage discounts to the total order value or to specific products. Similarly, you can configure the Tax form field to calculate and apply percentage-based tax amounts. This is particularly useful for online business owners that sell to overseas customers.

In addition to this, you can use its handy merge tags to display the order summary in your notifications and confirmations.

How to set up Gravity Forms payment and pricing fields

Setting up Gravity Forms payment and pricing fields is pretty easy. For this tutorial, we’ll assume you have the Gravity Forms plugin installed and activated on your WordPress website. To accept payments, you’ll also need to have a PayPal account or a Stripe account.

Let’s say you run an online bakery and want to set up a Gravity Form with payment and pricing fields to accept payments for biscuits and cookies sold by weight. Here’s what you need to do:

To get started, head over to Forms from the WordPress admin panel and click the Add New button for a new form. Add a Product field to the form and set the Field Type to Drop Down. Add the products you’d like to sell by weight as options along with the base price.

Next, add a Quantity field to the form, set the Product Field Mapping field to Select a product, Field Type to Number, and set the Range.

Finally, add a Total field to your form. Click the Update button to proceed.

Click the Preview button to see the form in action on your site’s front-end.

Finally, you’ll need to set up either Stripe or PayPal to accept payments. For this, navigate to Forms > Add-Ons and install the latest version of the Stripe Add-On or PayPal Add-On.

You can use GF eCommerce Fields to offer discounts or charge tax for international orders.

The Discount field lets you apply either a flat discount or a percentage discount to the total. For example, you can offer customers a 10% discount on their order.

Similarly, you can add a Tax field to your Gravity Forms to add a preconfigured tax to your order form. All you have to do is specify the Tax Amount (in percentage) and set the Apply tax to option to all products.

Start accepting Gravity Forms payments

Setting up Gravity Forms payment and pricing fields is a great way to accept payments online without having to install a full-blown eCommerce plugin. You can offer customers different payment options and accept payments via Stripe or PayPal. It’s perfect for businesses that need to sell products a couple of times throughout the year, or sell a few specific products.

If you need to kick things up a notch to generate more revenue, you can use Gravity Perks alongside Gravity Forms to offer discounts or charge tax. We recommend using the GF eCommerce Fields perk as a Gravity Forms add-on.
