I live in Lagos Nigeria and I would like to add a local payment platform to my order form.

Hi Dayo, Currently, Neartail supports Stripe (Card, Apple Pay) and PayPal for automated payments. Stripe is not yet available in Nigeria. Paystack integration is part of the roadmap.

There is an automatic registration fee, I'm unsure how to remove it. Each family member is given the option, once they select their family size that should be their title, however an additional registration fee is automatically attached.

You have added a dropdown field "Registration fees" that has answer choices with $ amounts. Please delete this dropdown field and use the add product option to set up the registration fees. Delete "Registration fees" dropdown field Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Neartail Edit page, click on the "Registration fees" dropdown field to select it > click on the trash icon to delete this field. Add product In the Neartail Edit page, click on the Add product icon > a new product will be added below the selected field > enter the title "Registration fees", select "Sold by variants" product type, enter the default price $50, set max quantity to 1 and enter the different options -- Single, Couple, One parent and one child, Family of 3, Family of 4, Family of 5, Family of 6 and Family of 7 -- as variants (see attached screenshot below) > click on the settings gear icon > Product settings page will be displayed > click Variant price and enter the price for the different variant options > click Save.

On the manual Venmo payment screen, if you are ordering on a mobile phone, you can't take a picture of your screen. I need a way to add the link to the page so they can pay and then mark complete.

Hi Doug, if you have enabled manual Venmo payments in your form, a QR code will be displayed on desktop, while a "Pay now" button will be displayed on mobile. When the user scans the QR code or clicks the 'Pay Now' button, the amount will be pre-filled. They can make the payment and then click on the "Mark as paid" button.

When you set up card payments for the first time, you'll see the option to configure a Neartail Stripe connected account. Once configured, the same Stripe account will be used for all the forms you create with your account. Please note that you cannot change the Stripe account once it's set up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hello! Why do some say completed and others read PAID, I am not understanding the difference. Is there something I need to do?

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. When you enable automated as well as manual payments in your form, the default order status will include Abandoned, Submitted, Paid, Completed, Trash. Abandoned orders If a user starts filling the form, but does not submit it, it will be displayed in the Abandoned status. These orders will be displayed only in the Neartail Orders page and it will not be included in Reports. Abandoned orders will have * prefixed to the order number in the Neartail Orders page. Submitted orders When the user chooses the automated payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the Paid status. When the user chooses the manual payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the submitted status. Once you verify the payment and update the payment status, it will be moved to the Paid status. These submitted orders will be recorded in Neartail and Google Forms. You can sync Google Forms responses to Google Sheets. Submitted orders will have # prefixed to the order number in the Neartail Orders page. The order numbers should be in sequential order. Trash orders You can move redundant orders to Trash.

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.
