Suggestion: submit options (Paypal/Stripe/Offline verified)

Hi @hubiedoobiedoo

I hope you are doing well.

Let me check if we are on the same page.

On a use case the form would have a radio field:

( ) PayPal
( ) Stripe
( ) Bank Transfer

So you are looking when the user submit using the Bank Transfer, for example, it only shows the submit button without any payment module?

Yes, I would like to have a bypass, that enables submitting the form without any payment module.
This would only work for me with the additional requirement that this option can be enabled/disabled depending on who is (what capacities has) the logged in WP user, as we need to restrict this usage to trusted staff members.

Hi @hubiedoobiedoo

You would need to have two forms and toggle based on the user, logged in vs logged out and enable the Security option:

A plugin like this would help:

Our team is working to implement the conditional on PayPal field too, https://premium.wpmudev.org/roadmap/#forminator

But the conditionals wouldn’t extend for logged-in / out users.

The Forminator does have some filters for fields render, I pinged the plugin developer to verify if any other workaround comes up.

Hi @hubiedoobiedoo

I hope you are doing well.

Sorry for the delay here.

Our developers suggested the same approach, you can use different forms based on your users:

if( $is_editor ) {
    return do_shortcode('[forminator_form id="1"]');
} else {
    return do_shortcode('[forminator_form id="2"]');
}

Thanks for the comeback and the snippet.
It will work as a good workaround, no doubt. It’s just slightly inconvenient to maintain 2 forms in parallel, with only the submit buttons different.

Also, that means the “super-users” will only see the “payment received at the office” option, and won’t be able (when logged in) to let visitors pay via Stripe or Paypal.

Was just hoping that, as you were developing a solution for “multiple payment means submissions (Paypal or Stripe)”, it could potentially be a simple matter to add a 3rd option with no payment module.

But I do understand you can’t possibly accomodate all petty requests. Thanks anyway.

Hi @hubiedoobiedoo,

We appreciate you taking the time for the feedback. The feature for Paypal condition will allow you to submit a form with no payment and also Stripe has an option where if it’s conditionally hidden, it will submit the form as well, so this will allow you to have this “3rd option” where users can submit the form if conditions met and not require to make a payment.

That’s wonderful ! I’m looking forward to this, thanks for listening to your user base.

I realize this is an old topic, but just to chime in. Something like this may be of use for us as well. Some of our clients are pre-pay, others are Net30. This would allow me to set up an order form for some of our products or services, and if the customer is PrePay, allow them to pay. If they’re on terms, the could submit the order.

Though I would have to figure out a way to “require” payment from customers not on terms…
