How to I switch the email addresses for log in and communication?
Hi Cayce, Neartail uses google signin. We do not have the option to transfer subscriptions or ownership. The subscription is linked with the email account used to subscribe to the paid plan. Only that account can be used to customize the form and collect responses.
I need to add a QR code image to the collect payment section. It will only let me add in text. How can i do this? Thanks.
Hi - We have integrated with Stripe (Card, Bancontact, Paynow, Cash App, iDeal) and Paypal (Paypal, Venmo) for automated payments. In addition, you can also enable manual & offline payment methods such as UPI, Cash App, Lydia, Zelle, cash on delivery, bank transfer, check. Currently we do not have the option to add custom payment options. What is the preferred payment option in your country? How would you like to collect payments? Please provide the details and I'll share your feedback with our team. You can also send an email with the details directly to support@neartail.com
Hi. I have a few forms where I've added discount codes. I'm noticing that when the code is applied the discount value and resulting value are going beyond 2 decimal places. I want the discount value and the resulting value after the discount is applied to round up to two decimal places. How do we do this? Thank you.
Hi Jennifer, the amount values in the form will be automatically formatted to 2 decimal places. Please note that these values when synced to google sheets will have the actual value with the corresponding decimals. If the amount is not displayed properly in the form, please share the link for your form along with a sample response.
I have an issue where clients will click on the shopping cart icon while adding items and then click the checkout button; however, they are brought back to the first page of the form. Is there any workaround for this issue?

Hello, Just getting started and loving it so far. I wanted to see if there is a way for me to set the current stock of an item so I don't oversell if I am out of stock. Thanks!
Hi Ryan, you can set the current stock for an item by enabling the inventory feature. When you enable this feature, you can specify the available stock for each product. Neartail will automatically track the stock levels, and when the stock reaches zero, the product will be marked as sold out, preventing any further orders. For detailed instructions on how to set this up, you can refer to the help article below: https://neartail.com/order-form/add-products-with-limited-stock.html
hola, he creado un formulario, y he puesto dos formas de pago PayPal y transferencia bancaria, y he agregado un apartado para subir archivos del justificante de pago para las transferecias y he activado la casilla "campo obligatorio" El problema esta cuando un usuario elije pagar con PayPal, tambien le obliga a subir el archivo de justificante y eso no nos interesa, el justificante solo debe ser para el metodo de pago por transferancia, que puedo hacer? necesito ayuda gracias
Hi Juan, Instead of adding the payment details as separate sections in the form, you can enable the preferred payment options such as Paypal (automated) and Bank transfer (manual) in Neartail payment settings. Instructions below. Enable payments Login to Neartail. Click on the form to open it. Edit page will be displayed. In the Neartail Edit page, click on the gear icon next to the Submit button. Button settings will be displayed. Click Enable payments. The payment options supported in your country will be displayed. You can click on the configure link for the Paypal automated payments, connect your Paypal account and enable payments. Similarly, you can enable the bank transfer payment option and add the bank account details for the wire transfer. Once you complete the setup, you can use the Neartail share link to submit a response and test the payment process to ensure everything is working correctly. Automated payments (Paypal) When this option is enabled, users will be able to submit the order only if the payment is successful. Please note Stripe, Paypal charges a transaction fee. Manual payments (Bank transfer) When the user submits the form, the responses are recorded and then the payment details are displayed. Please note that you will have to manually reconcile payments by checking the transactions. When a user places an order, the payment status will be either marked as "Pending" (not paid) by default. If the user clicks on the Mark as paid button, the status will be updated as "Paid, not verified". Once you verify the payment, you can mark the order as "Paid". Please note that Neartail does not have the option to upload files for Bank transfer payment.
Hi, My customers are having truble with the "continue with your last order" message when they enter the form again. The issue is not with the option itself, but it interfere with the current configuration of the form. Is there a way I can turn off that option? I want that every time the cosumer enters the form, it shows them a brand new one.
Hi Rafael, the autosave option is enabled by default. Currently it cannot be turned off.
Dear Formfacade Team, Thank you for your effort in developing these calculation features in Google Forms. Currently, I'm using Formfacade to modify my Google Form questionnaire and assign value points for survey purposes. However, there are a few issues along the way that I'd like to ask: 1. When I tried to assign SCORE to calculate all the sum points of assigned values of a section - the SCORE value came up on the Formfacade website, but not on the Google Form website. The score values resulting from the answer I inputted in the Formfacade website can be found on Google Form Responses, along with the Excel sheets exported from Google Form. Interestingly, if I input the answer in Google Forms, the score values were not on display, even after submission. Are the score values only exclusively available on the Formfacade website? Or is it a matter of a failure of settings/ glitch in the system? I would like to see the scores on the Google Forms website. Can we work around this, or does this mean to use this calculation feature, I have to subscribe to Formfacade and use the questionnaire only on the Formfacade website? 2. As I am trying the questionnaire I modified in Formfacade myself, I have made several attempts to fill out the questionnaire to test for glitches. On the Formfacade's Responses Page, I'm trying to delete the practice submissions, yet I could not seem to delete them. They appeared in the Abandoned section and even if I clicked the delete button, they're still there. These practice submissions also cannot be moved to Trash. Even on Trash, they cannot be deleted as well. I'm concerned about the confusion of data cleaning if I cannot seem to delete a failed entry/ dirty data. Is there any way to delete these dirty data permanently? 3. When I tried to export the questionnaire results from Formfacade's website, there were many error messages. It said the sheets failed to sync. But when I looked at the downloaded sheets, I saw that they actually contained the submission reports, even the submitted and the trash ones. Is there any way to download only the submitted results and not the trashed ones? I'm looking forward to your reply. Thank you very much. Best, Prieska

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.
