Common Solutions with Payable Forms

In this article we will review some common problems and solutions when getting setup.

"Something Went Wrong" Messages During Setup

Google Add-Ons are sadly not compatible when multiple Google Accounts are logged in to the same browser.

|| Sometimes logging out of a second google account will not be enough. The user sessions can still get mixed up. Trust us.. With the below steps. : ) - Even if you think your only logged into one.

If you are receiving error messages during setup:

1. Open a new "incognito" browser window.
2. Go to https://forms.google.com and login only with the account you wish to leverage as the email sender and owner of the form and sheet.
3. Re-open the Payable Forms Add-On if its available, if its not-re-install it for this user.
4. Retry the setup steps and hopefully the error message will disappear.

Order Not Found

If your users click the checkout link but receive an "Order Not Found" message, this is likely because Google's On Form Submit Trigger was not setup or configured correctly.
