Google 表单在提交时启动 Paypal

Question

I want to use the URL method of launching a Paypal purchase flow described in this SO question.

Problem is, I can't seem to figure out how to launch a new website on the submission of a form. I've created a function and linked it to the onSubmit through the project triggers button but that's where I've stalled. I can't seem to find any other information on it. Am I going about this the wrong way or is there something else I should be looking at?

function launchPayPal() {
     //launch website here?
}

Answer 1

Google Forms do not allow you to redirect to another web page on form submissions. You can however add a PayPal link in the message that shows up on the screen when a form is submitted.

Answer 2

You need a website, or a Google Apps Script Stand Alone App. Instead of triggering a Google Form to open from your spreadsheet, have a link to a Google Site, or a link to a Google Apps Script Stand Alone App. Or you could have a Dialog Box or Sidebar with HTML in it that opens up. That way, the HTML Dialog Box or the Sidebar could open up Pay Pal. So, you need to create something with HTML rather than use a Google Form. So, your options are:

• Google Site with HTML in it.
• Dialog Box with HTML
• Sidebar with HTML
• Apps Script HTML Service Stand Alone App

Answer 3

As Amit mentioned, Google Forms do not allow you to redirect on form submission. So, you can add the paypal url in the confirmation message and instruct users to click on it. However, this works only when the amount doesn't change based on the form response.

eg: If your paypal url is https://paypal.me/[your-paypal-id]/20 , 20 is the amount you want to collect. This 20 can't be dynamically changed in the confirmation message

If you want to calculate this amount based on the answers in the form, then you can try these 3 options:

1. Send an email for payment from Google Sheets: You can collect responses in Google Sheets and use formula to calculate the amount to be paid. Then you can send batch emails with paypal urls along with the correct amount to be paid using mail merge addons.

2. Send an email for payment using Apps Script: You can trigger apps script on form submit and calculate the amount to be paid. Then you can send email with paypal url almost instantaneously after submit.

3. Collect payments using Google Forms addons: You can use payment addons that collect payment directly in Google Forms. They change the form runtime in such a way that respondents have to pay before submitting the form.
