Question 1

No Recent Order Found

Accepted Answer

After you or your user clicks on the Payable Forms checkout link, if after waiting 50 seconds, Payable does not receive any new order data from Google, we will display a Sorry - No Recent Order Found message to the user, like in the image below.

No Recent Order Found Message Shown at Checkout

When this happens, it is because Googles System is not updating our system after the Google Form submission.

This can happen typically for one of four reasons:

Google is having some intermittent issues or a delay in firing the onFormSubmit Trigger. If we receive the trigger anytime after 50 seconds, an email will automatically be sent to the form submitter with a link, and no further action is required. Check your connected Google Sheet to see if Order IDs are populating in the Order ID column. If they are there, you are good to go. 👍- If not, read on.
The Google Form was Not Toggled on as "Make this Form Payable" during setup or experienced an error at initial setup.
You duplicated another / previous Payable Google Form, and you have the wrong form link on your confirmation message. Make sure you "Sync Theme" in the Getting Started steps to ensure each form has the correct confirmation message link.
The Google Form onFormSubmit Trigger has become corrupt or stopped working and must be regenerated.

Common Solutions with Payable Forms

In this article we will review some common problems and solutions when getting set up with Payable Forms.

1 - "Something Went Wrong" Permission Errors during Messages During Setup

Google Add-Ons are sadly not compatible when multiple Google Accounts are logged in to the same browser. We made this video, which talks about some troubleshooting generic setup errors..

||| Do you use more than one google account frequently? Sometimes simply logging out of a second Google account will not be enough, and the user sessions can still get mixed up. Try these steps, even if you think you're only logged into one account.

To solve please do the following:

1. Open a new "Incognito" Chrome browser window. This is how.
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 it's available. If it's not, re-install it for this user.
4. Retry the setup steps and hopefully, the Error message will disappear.

|| If that does not work - Check Permissions: Ensure is that if you are setting up Payable Forms with a previously existing Google Form and it had a connected Google Sheet.

Question 3

Help with PayPal "In-Line" Card Payments

Accepted Answer

Help with PayPal In-Line Guest Card Payments

When a seller / administrator connects a PayPal Standard account as their payment processor, you will a see a checkout option labeled "Debit or Credit Card" listed as an option in the smart payment buttons.

In-Line Guest Card Checkout powered by PayPal

This card checkout, the inputs, and validations and error messages are entirely controlled by PayPal. Payable Apps, as the platform developer, sadly has very limited ability to debug this particular card checkout experience.

This card checkout is designed for casual sellers in order to offer a PayPal "guest" checkout experience, but it has some limitations. This version of card checkout can cause issues/confusion when a buyer does not remember/realize the email address or credit card they are trying to use is already associated with a PayPal Account, but just wants to use their card directly. With the in-line guest checkout, PayPal will want this user login instead of using a known card as a guest.

||| Trying to "test" your own checkout with real payments? PayPal does a good job of blocking known devices, IP Addresses, and cards that are associated with the receiving PayPal Account so people do not pay themselves. When testing your first live order, it's best to send it to a friend or family member to use their own unrelated device and card.
