need to point neartail export to different google sheet?
Hi Frederik, When you export for the first time, a new Google Sheet will be created. After that, each sync will continue to update the same sheet. Currently, it isn’t possible to unlink and connect to a different sheet. I’d recommend using the Reports feature instead, as it allows you to view orders for a specific period, grouped by week, month, or year. You can also apply filters, giving you more flexibility without needing a new sheet.
I do not plan to do stripe or any credit card payments that charge a fee. Basically it will be cash on delivery and Venmo. Are there any other fees I should be aware of? I don't see any other mention of fees except in a chat.
If you are only using cash on delivery and manual Venmo option for payments, there will be no transaction fees from Neartail for those payment methods. However, please note that if you enable automated Venmo payments through a PayPal business account, PayPal will charge a transaction fee.
also, do abandoned orders count towards your total? I needed a way to check the form so was checking things while in preview and it started counting orders.
Hi Marchelle, only submitted orders count towards your monthly limit. Abandoned orders, which occur when a customer starts filling out the form but does not complete it, do not count against your order limit.
I'm not sure about the details of the subscription - what does the transaction fee apply to? Orders submitted or does it also count abandoned orders? I need more details before committing to the 2-3% fee
You will be charged a transaction fee per order based on the calculated order amount for submitted orders, regardless of whether payments are enabled. Please note that abandoned orders are not included. For example, if you collect 50 orders with the total amount of $1,000, you will be charged 3% of $1,000 as fees = $30. Your card will be charged on the 1st of every month for the previous months' orders.
I am unable to make a selection and continue to the payment page
If you would like to collect payments in your form, you must first calculate the amount in the form and then configure the payments. Open your form in Google Forms > click on the addon icon > click Neartail - Order form > click Calculate order amount > select the currency, click Next > select the price option, click Next > click Customize > Order amount calculations will be automatically added in the form > Edit page will open in a new tab > In the Neartail Edit page, scroll down to the payment section > click Enable > Payment settings page will be displayed > click Enable payments > The payment options supported in your country will be displayed > configure the preferred payment options and click Save. You can then use the near.tl share link for your form to collect responses.
I would like to change or get rid of the part where it says This page was created by (my name) at the very bottom of the order page. Please let me know if that is possible as I don't want my full name to appear on it. Thank you

need free text in the quantity field. If we choose variant, I can add text in the variant place but on google sheet it comes as text with a long number digits. How do I get the text on the sheet without the long text please
When using Neartail with products that have variants, the unique identifier for each variant will always be recorded alongside the variant name in Google Sheets linked with Google Forms. Unfortunately, you cannot remove this unique identifier as it is necessary for tracking orders and inventory. If you need the variant name without the long number, you can view the orders in Neartail Reports or export the data from Neartail Reports to Google Sheets. Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Reports > in the Reports page, click on the settings gear icon > click Sync all responses. Please note that this is not a real time sync; the responses will be synced only when you click on the sync option in the Reports page. When you sync the responses in Neartail to Google Sheets, we create three sheets. (1) Order summary: This includes the customer contact details, amount and other fields in the form. (2) Order lineitems: This includes the order lineitems data. You can use the pivot table option on this sheet to create the aggregate reports you need. (3) Order details: This includes the quantity ordered for the products in each order. Each product will be added as a column. For products with variants, each variant will be a separate column.
Hello, Can i subscribe for one month only ?
Hi Wes, when you subscribe to the paid plan, you can choose the monthly or annual option. If you need it only for short term, you can choose the monthly subscription, use it for one month and then cancel the subscription before it is renewed for the second month.
Hello. I have a few questions before signing up. 1. I understand the monthly fees. Are there any transaction fees? 2. Does the email address to receive the payments have to match my Google account email?
Subscription Yes, in addition to the monthly subscription fee, there may be transaction fees depending on the type of payment you accept. For manual payments (such as QR code or instruction-based payments), there are no transaction fees. For automated payments processed through Stripe, PayPal, or Yoco, transaction fees are charged directly by the payment service providers, and the rates vary by country. Automated payments The email address used to receive payments does not have to match your Google account email. You can set up a different payment email address when you configure your payment processor.

Hi Katrina By default, there are four order status: Abandoned, Submitted, Completed, Trash. You cannot rename the default status, but you can choose to hide a default status.

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
Does this add-on allow a Google Form to be embedded into a website if the file upload feature is part of the form?
Yes, you can use the Formfacade addon to embed a google form with file upload on your website. Google Forms file upload requires login. You must customize your google form using the Formfacade addon to convert this into a html file upload to allow users to upload files without login. You can subscribe to the Formfacade - Embed paid plan. This plan is suitable for occasional light use cases that require collecting files. You get a 10mb max size per file with a total file storage of 1gb. Only the form owner can access the files one at a time after they login with their google account. Formfacade - Embed https://formfacade.com/embed/pricing.html If your requirement is to collect large files and collaborate with your team, you should also subscribe to the file upload plan 10gb, 100gb or 1tb. You can increase the max file size to up to 1gb per file (depends on the plan), the number of files per file upload question, restrict file types, enable unlisted links to allow anyone to access the files, add collaborators to provide access to specific users and use our addon to sync the uploaded files to your google drive.
