So you want to create a Google Form that also accepts payments? Awesome! You've come to the right place!

Step 1 - Installing the Payable Forms Add-On

  • Click here to get the Payable Forms add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Click on Install. For most cases "individual install" will work fine; if you are an administrator and you want to install this application for the entire domain you manage, click on "domain install" instead.

  • Head to forms.google.com and open a form you wish to make Payable. If you do not already have a Google account, click the Create Account button to make one. Once in the Google Form, click the Add Ons puzzle piece icon, then select Payable Forms, and finally Make this Form Payable.

Step 2 - Setting up your Google Form for payments

  • Payable amounts should go in answer fields for your customer to select when filling out your form (do not put prices in question titles). Be sure to pay attention to the formatting of the examples provided in our Sample Payment Section.

  • If your Google Form interface has a purple Publish button in the toolbar, you must publish your form before completing the following Payable setup steps

  • Follow the Getting Started steps in the sidebar (Auto-Configure Form and Sheet, Sync Theme, and Connect a Payment Provider)

  • Toggle your form On as Payable

Step 3 - Testing your Payable Google Form

Once your form is toggled ON as Payable you can test out the user experience to ensure it's working as you expect. Google Forms is now operating with 2 different user interfaces, to find out which version you are working with, and the appropriate steps to make submissions on your form click here.

  • Make sure your order adds up as expected and that you transition to your checkout page

  • When you are ready turn off Test Mode (How To)

In test mode you can make fake payments at the checkout - these test orders will not appear in your payment account. If you enter real payment data in the test checkout, it still does not process a real financial transaction.
