I don’t know what the pricing is for my plan. I have the start up plan, and I thought the only charge was the 2% per transaction fee. But I just got an $11 monthly charge, and I don’t know what it is for. Where can I find clear listing of the pricing for Neartail?
I am trying to find a good platform for our business for fillable eforms and to capture esigs and am considering Formesign to go with our google workspace account using google forms but I have a question - On the pricing page, are those prices per user or just for the company as a whole? For example, if a couple different staff would be using the program, would that still be the costs shown on the pricing page? Also do you have any options that would allow for someone to be directed to payment after doing their form? Thanks!

Dear Neartail Support, I am contacting you because, although I canceled my subscription, I was clearly informed that I would still have full access to the platform until June 16th, the end of the current billing cycle. However, I am now being prompted to upgrade my plan in order to continue using features that should still be available to me. This is both unexpected and disruptive, especially since I rely on Neartail for ongoing projects and order collection. I would appreciate it if you could review and restore my access immediately, as per the subscription terms. Please also clarify why this issue occurred, and what measures will be taken to avoid such inconvenience in the future. Thank you in advance for your prompt assistance. Best regards, Stelios Vasilas
Hi Stelios, You subscribed to the Neartail paid plan on April 16 and cancelled your subscription on May 14. When you cancel your subscription, it remains valid until the end of the subscription period, which expired on May 16. You will need an active subscription to access Neartail and use your form to collect responses. That’s why you’re seeing the upgrade message when you log in to Neartail.
I would like to compile multiple different selected checkboxes that are spread across multiple different fields throughout the form, into a single field, saying some thing like "your selections are, [their selections]". how would I do that?

Please note that you must type @ and select each required field from the list when adding the formula.
On the orders report. I want to see the total amount with the discount. Right now, it shows the total and the discount, not the final total. Also I want to be able to delete some of the abandoned carts like 1 and 8 As for #5 and #7, I want to move it as it's basically a full order, but there is nothing under the move to drop down. Also is there anyway to display the products in one line so I can see more of a description on the product page. Also is it possible to have the description show first when people click on the cart from the product list page? I want them to see the description before ordering

We are looking at your service and have a question. Does the 100 submissions per month in the basic package mean that we get 100 submissions per form per month or 100 submissions in total for all forms together?

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.
