Honest answers
Is Payly really free for payment forms?
Yes. There is no monthly fee, no transaction fee and no paid tier. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees on each payment, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
How do people pay?
With PayPal or by card through Stripe, on the last page of the form. The money goes straight to your own account, and Payly never holds it.
Can I charge every month?
Yes. Charge the total once, every week, month or year, or every few days, weeks or months, up to a year apart. Payments can stop after a set number or run until cancelled. A form has one schedule, because PayPal takes one subscription per checkout.
Can a form be free?
Yes. Free, paid and mixed forms are all fine. When the total comes to zero, the form is sent with no payment.
Do I need a store?
No. A payment form is a site of its own, with no cart, products or shipping. Stores and forms can share one Payly account.
Is there a limit on responses?
Payly sets none and keeps every response, and you can close a form after a number of answers. The Responses screen shows the newest 5,000. Uploaded files are stored in your own Cloudflare account: 500 MB on Cloudflare's free plan, shared by all your forms there.
How many forms can I have?
Each form runs in your own Cloudflare account, like a store. Cloudflare's free plan holds up to 100 forms in one account, fewer if it also holds stores. Its $5 a month plan holds up to 500, paid to Cloudflare. Payly stays free either way. What the free plan covers
What is not included?
Quizzes with scores, editing a response after it is sent, and placing a form inside another website are not supported.
