Description
The Gravity Forms PayPal One-time Fee perk allows you to add a single, one-time fee to the first payment of a PayPal Standard subscription. This is especially useful for charging setup or initiation fees alongside recurring subscription payments, such as for web hosting or membership services.
Since PayPal Standard does not natively support one-time fees on subscriptions, this perk uses the trial period feature to simulate that functionality. It enables flexible combinations of one-time fees and recurring amounts, automatically calculating the first payment and subsequent subscription charges. Note that this feature is now integrated directly into the Gravity Forms PayPal Standard Add-on.
The setup is straightforward within the PayPal feed configuration in WordPress, requiring you to select “Subscriptions” as the transaction type and designate the one-time fee amount. This solution simplifies managing subscription payments with initial fees via Gravity Forms and PayPal Standard.
