The One-time Fee perk allows you to add a one-time fee to the first payment of a PayPal Standard subscription. For example, let s say you re signing users up for a web hosting package but need to charge them a setup fee on the initial payment. That is now possible with the One-time Fee perk!
PayPal Standard does not support a one-time fee on subscriptions natively; however, it does support a trial period. This perk uses the trial period functionality to simulate a one-time fee concept for PayPal Standard subscriptions.
Unfortunately, this means if you need a trial period and a one-time fee, this perk will not provide that functionality for you. Once you ve activated the one-time fee, the trial period options will be disabled on the PayPal feed.
There are some interesting combinations that can happen with the One-time Fee and Recurring Amount options. Here is a list of these combinations and how they are processed.
First Payment = Recurring Amount (RA) + One-time Fee (OTF)
Subscription = RA
First Payment = Form Total
Subscription = RA
First Payment = Form Total
Subscription = Form Total - OTF
This perk provides a handy UI for managing the one-time fee for PayPal Standard subscriptions. This documentation assumes you have already installed the Gravity Forms PayPal Payments Standard add-on. If so, follow the steps below to activate this functionality on a GF PayPal Standard subscription feed. These steps are written for creating a new feed and applying the one-time fee; however, you can also apply a one-time fee to existing subscription feeds.
