Single item Settings:
Item Price: Set the default price to the item
The item type description:
- Pre-Defined: If set predefined, users won’t be allowed to change the item price later in the frontend.
- User Defined: If set user-defined, users can change the item price from the frontend ( suitable for donation type ).
- Hidden: If the single item input type is hidden, It will not be displayed on the front and the price set on the item price will be the product’s price.
Multiple Choice: #
With the multiple items fields, you can provide options for the user to select the option. You can set each item’s price as shown in the figure below.
Quantity #
This field can be assigned to a single item or multiple-choice field and it maps the quantity entered by the users.

With the checkbox field, you can allow the users to select two or more options. The item’s price can be set as below.

The total field helps you to display the total of all payment field’s prices.

How to add PayPal as a payment method with Stripe? #
If you have both the Paypal standard and the Stripe addons, you can create options for your customers to choose between the two payment methods.

Compatibility with Conditional Logic: #
Everest Forms Pro allows you to enable conditional logic using the Conditional Logic addon on. You can not only integrate conditional logic on each and every form field but also, on both the payment options. This lets you set up a more responsive and situationally adaptive payment for your users.

Everest Forms PayPal Standard also supports Recurring Payments. To charge users on a periodic basis, you can enable recurring payments on the registration form, and then the users will be charged periodically. To do so, in the form builder, click on Payments > PayPal Standard and then tick both options, Enable PayPal Payments, and Enable Recurring Subscription on PayPal.
In the Plan Name, you can give a name to your recurring plan.
In the Recurring Period option, you can select the frequency when the next transaction will be done. Also, you can select intervals between the recurring payment i.e 15 days, 5 weeks, 6 months, and so on.
