Through the HitPay plugin on Google Forms, you have the option of charging the customer a dynamic amount based on the responses submitted in the Google Form or a fixed amount per response:

Example of a dynamic amount form is here.

How payment collection works

Upon submission of form response, a payment link for the payable amount is sent to the respondent’s email address after submission of the form:

Upon clicking the link, the customer will be directed to the HitPay checkout page to complete payment.

After payment is completed, the customer will receive an automated email receipt sent from HitPay and you will also receive an email if the relevant notification setting is enabled in your HitPay dashboard.

The status of the payment is updated in the Google Sheet linked to the Google form when the respondent completes the payment using HitPay payment link as shown below:

All successful payments are captured in the HitPay dashboard under Sales and Reports > Transactions.
