In this article, we will show you how to create Google Forms with payment integration in just a few clicks. Read on to learn more.
Google Forms itself does not have a built-in feature to accept payments directly. However, you can integrate Google Forms with payment processing tools by linking to an external payment service or using add-ons.
Open Google Forms and either select a template or a blank form to create your form. Add fields for the information you'll collect, like names, contact details, and product choices.
After completing your form, locate and click on the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the form editor. From the dropdown menu that appears, choose the option labeled “Add-ons.”
In the Google Workspace Marketplace pop-up, type “payment” into the search bar. You can also search directly for “PayPal” or “Stripe” if you have a preference.
Review the list of add-ons that appear. Look for ones that specifically mention integration with payment systems like PayPal or Stripe.
Look through the available payment add-ons. Click on the one that fits your needs. Read its description, then click "Install" and allow the necessary permissions.
For the purpose of this guide, we chose Payable Forms since it allows payments through PayPal and Stripe.
After installing, click on the puzzle piece icon for add-ons in the toolbar of your Google Form.
Select "Payable Forms" from the list of installed add-ons to open it.
Click on “Configure Payment Settings (Show Sidebar).” A sidebar should appear on the bottom-left corner of the Google Forms editor.
In the sidebar, tick the checkbox for “Connect a Payment Provider.” A new pop-up window should appear.
Click on the “+” on the right side of the payment provider to add it to your form. Follow any additional instructions to set up the payment specifics like currency, amounts, and items or services being sold.
Fill out the form as if you're a customer to make sure everything works. Submit the form and complete the payment. Check that the money goes into your account.
The money from transactions made through your Google Form with Payable Forms will be deposited directly into your connected PayPal or Stripe account. From there, you can transfer your funds to your bank account according to the policies of the payment processor you use.
Payable Forms may charge a fee for using their service, which is separate from any transaction fees charged by PayPal or Stripe. You should review the Payable Forms add-on details in the Google Workspace Marketplace for specific fee information.
Both PayPal and Stripe have their own transaction fees, which typically include a percentage of the transaction amount plus a fixed fee. These fees can vary based on the country, the type of transaction, and whether it's a domestic or international payment. Check the latest fees on the PayPal and Stripe official websites.
Yes, generally, for each payment processed through the form, you'll incur fees from both the Payable Forms add-on and the payment processor (PayPal or Stripe).
Transaction fees are usually detailed in the transaction history or statement within your PayPal or Stripe account. Payable Forms may also provide a summary of fees if they charge any separately.
Some merchants choose to include transaction fees in their pricing. Whether or not you can do this may depend on the regulations in your region and the terms of service of PayPal, Stripe, and Payable Forms.
Transactions are typically processed and appear in your PayPal or Stripe account almost immediately, but it may take several days for funds to be available for withdrawal or transfer to your bank account.
Refund policies for fees are determined by PayPal and Stripe. Some fees may not be refundable. Check their terms of service for detailed information on handling refunds.
