Gravity Perks PayPal One-time Fee 2.0.beta1.1

Overview

Gravity Perks PayPal One-time Fee is a powerful add-on designed specifically for Gravity Forms users who want to seamlessly incorporate a one-time fee into the initial payment of their PayPal Standard subscription transactions. Normally, PayPal Standard does not natively support one-time setup fees for subscriptions, which can be a significant limitation for businesses such as web hosts, membership sites, or any service that requires a setup or initiation charge alongside recurring payments. This perk cleverly leverages PayPal's trial period functionality to simulate the effect of a one-time fee, making it possible to charge an upfront fee on subscription signups without compromising the recurring subscription amount.

What sets Gravity Perks PayPal One-time Fee apart is its user-friendly interface integrated directly into your WordPress admin, allowing you to configure one-time fees with ease. It supports flexible combinations of product fields and form totals to customize both the initial and recurring payments, providing unparalleled precision and control over your billing process. While this perk has since been integrated into the official Gravity Forms PayPal Standard Add-on, it remains a notable solution that historically empowered website owners to enhance their subscription billing capabilities efficiently.
