Prepopulate the paypal form / no paypal acct necc

    Hi,

    I love Machform 2. A favorite app. I have a need for a nice donation form on a client site, and I saw that Machform 3 has Paypal integration, so I upgraded to a larger license. I'm a little confused about how to set paypal up, can you help me out:

    I have 1 long form, where the person fills out a number of things: name, address, phone, email among a number of other items. I'd like when they click submit, or "make donation" it takes them to a Paypal page with the tab Login to Paypal tab active. I'd like to have it land with the fields I had my donors fill out, Name, address, phone number, email -- all filled out on the payment form. This describes what I am looking for:

    https://cms.paypal.com/es/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_formbasics

    Look for "Prepopulating FORMs" and read that section. That's what I'd like to do.

    Instead of defaulting to: "Have a PayPal account?" I want it to default to: "Don't have a PayPal account?" with the name, address, phone, email all pre filled out on the paypal page.

    Is this possible? If not out of the box, how would one modify the script to do this?

    Thank you!

    It's called express checkout. I'd really really like you guys to support this.

    Not sure if you have seen the documentation : http://www.appnitro.com/doc-payment - it may help in the interim.

    I think it is planned for more payment gateways to be supported in future development of MF.

    Yes, thank you! I really really hope they will develop Machform to use Express Payments. It uses the Paypal API and is a better user experience. I love love love machform and use it alot. It would be so awesome to have this as an option.

    I'm new to MachForm and have just created my first form. I'm really impressed so far - but prepopulating the Paypal form is a feature I'd like to see.
