Answers to Common Questions

Why do I need this extension, couldn’t I just use Gravity Forms by itself?

Gravity Forms has amazingly powerful form building capability, but when it comes to e-commerce, the reporting features of Gravity Forms are a bit weak when compared to the reporting included in Easy Digital Downloads. This extension not only lets you add purchase forms to any page on your site, it lets you leverage the tremendous form building power of Gravity Forms and the superb reporting functionality of Easy Digital Downloads.

Does Gravity Forms for EDD support subscription payments?

Not at this time.

Can customers access their purchase history for purchases made through Gravity Forms Checkout?

Yes, purchases are stored in exactly the same way, regardless of which method customers use to purchase the product(s). If customers have an account, they will be able to access their complete purchase history and download links from their account page.

Can I use the Gravity Forms add-ons, such as MailChimp or User Registration with Gravity Forms Checkout?

Yes, Gravity Forms Checkout works perfectly with all Gravity Forms add-ons.

Can I use standard EDD payment gateways with Gravity Forms Checkout?

After completing the purchase, customers are sent a purchase receipt via email containing all download links and purchase information.
