Payment Collection - Paywall

Hi @EvanD Thanks for stopping by the community! This is an interesting use case. We don’t have a paywall option at the moment, but what you could do is create two forms (one for the payment, one for after) and connect them together like this. 

Thanks for the quick response, Liz. I’d like the form to be embedded into a webpage without any redirects to another URL so I’m not sure if a second form would accomplish that, to my limited knowledge.

Essentially, Question 1 could be something arbitrary, say collection of contact info, Question 2 would be the required payment collection, after which would move on to Question 3 where the real survey begins. It’s not quite a paywall in the technical sense of the word, just a required payment subscription somewhere in the middle of the questionnaire where there are still more questions that follow. Typeform let’s me build out this idea in theory (see picture) but I’m curious to know how it works in production

I may be misinformed regarding the timing of the payment. If I add the payment attribute as question 2 in my form (see example above), will the user be charged immediately after they put their card info (before they move on to step 3) or will they be charged at the time of the survey submission itself?

Ooh this is a good question @EvanD! 

In terms of setup I think what you’re proposing is possible, but let me check on the timing front - is it that you want them to complete the whole form before the payment is taken, or do you want the payment to be taken first before they finish the form? 

Thanks for following up, @Grace! I’d like the the payment to be taken first before they finish the form. I recognize it’s standard in most cases for payments to process at the very end of the form but, as mentioned I’d like it process before the form is submitted (ie during Question 2 in my example above, and still have Questions 3 - X to be filled out).

Any luck on figuring this out? I’d like to do something similiar, though, I’d like to prevent the person from filling out the form twice after paying.

Hi ​@AdamZ While we don’t have a solution for this within Typeform, I would definitely suggest utilizing the workarounds above!
