Gravity Perks PayPal One-time Fee

PayPal Standard subscriptions do not natively include a one-time setup fee alongside recurring payments. This add-on lets Gravity Forms users charge an upfront fee when someone signs up for a subscription, which can suit services such as web hosting or memberships that have an initial charge.

The add-on uses PayPal’s trial period functionality to apply the one-time fee to the initial payment and calculate the recurring amount separately. You can base the fee on individual product fields or the full form total, then configure it in PayPal feed settings for new or existing subscription feeds.

Features

• Upfront subscription fee: Add a one-time setup or initiation fee to the first payment in a PayPal Standard subscription transaction.
• Separate recurring amount: Calculate the recurring subscription amount separately from the initial fee, keeping the two payment components distinct.
• Choose a fee source: Set the one-time fee using individual product fields or the total of the form.
• PayPal feed settings: Configure the one-time fee directly in Gravity Forms PayPal feed settings, without requiring advanced technical skills.
• Trial period handling: Use PayPal’s trial period functionality to apply the upfront fee, with trial period options disabled when the fee is enabled.
• Existing feed support: Apply the one-time fee to new or existing PayPal Standard subscription feeds.
