In this tutorial video by Matt from Gravity Forms, the focus is on setting up a payment form for a consulting practice using the Gravity Forms plugin in conjunction with the Stripe add-on. The main objective is to create an efficient, user-friendly form for purchasing consulting hours that processes payments securely. The video covers the following key steps:
1. Setting Up the Form: Leveraging a pre-built Stripe checkout form template in Gravity Forms, Matt demonstrates how to customize the product details and remove unnecessary fields, such as shipping information, since consulting services are digital goods.
2. Configuring Stripe Integration: Matt walks through the process of setting up a feed that connects the Gravity Forms payment form to Stripe. This allows for payment processing and enables Stripe to send branded receipts to customers.
3. Embedding the Form: The video illustrates how to embed the customized payment form into a web page, ensuring it displays correctly and facilitates a smooth checkout experience for clients.
4. Advanced Features: Matt highlights additional functionalities such as enabling multiple payment methods, setting up custom confirmations and notifications, and using Gravity SMTP to ensure email deliverability for transaction-related notifications.
