No, I’m afraid you can’t override VAT or P&P preferences at this time.

Hello.. AGAIN..!
Re. the previous post, you were right, the charity I have created the website for also have an online shop where they have applied PayPal P&P rules. It seems that for their “add to cart” buttons there is some HTML code that can be applied to over-ride these rules.. but my FormSmarts form does not use such buttons. Is there a way that your generated forms can over-ride a PayPal profile setting for VAT and P&P..?
Thank you for your help.
Gordon

Gordon,
You must have set a P&P rule in your PayPal account. The rule will then be applied to all payments you receive via PayPal.

Hi.
I set up a “membership” page for a local charity.. but I have noticed that PayPal is adding a £4.99pp Post and Packing fee that is not mentioned anywhere on my Form. Can you advise where PayPal is picking this up from?
Thanks.
:-)

Gordon,
Because money is involved and for security reasons, you may only receive payments to the PayPal account matching your FormSmarts account’s login email address. Each organization you’re creating PayPal forms for should have their own FormSmarts account, in the same way they need to have their own PayPal account.

Hi.
I see your reply to Dustin above. My issue is that I create websites for a number of local charities and community organisations, each of whom has their own PayPal account. From what I am reading here, all of their various payments HAVE to come to my PayPal account as I have the FormSmarts account. Is that correct? If so, any plans to change this please? Otherwise I have to pay for multiple copies of FormSmarts under different login IDs.
Thanks.

I tried to open a PRO account for a customer yesterday which for some reason I couldn’t so I guessed signing up for the FREE account first and the upgrading would be the solution?
The problem is that my customer isn’t getting the Confirmation email so we can sign in to the account and do the upgrade… We have double checked all of your recommendations and still not getting confirmation email.
I don’t want to put the email address of the account here… But the extension is @mail.com (not very common, so I think it would be easy for you guys to find in your records. My customer’s name is Manny.
Please Help finding what could possibly be wrong…
Thanks in advance

Dustin,
For security reasons, you can only link a FormSmarts account to one PayPal account. This is simply because money is involved and whoever controls the FormSmarts account can change every form in it.

I also have a customer that needs forms for event registration, and as I have read in the posts it is possible to make and integrate with PayPal, I am willing to use your platform, but my main concern is if as a Web Developer with different customers, will I be able to different forms integrated with different paypal accounts with the same FormSmarts Pro account?
Or will I have to open a different account for every customer?
