Only accept images that are paid for

    Also, we are accepting payment for submissions through PayPal. We had issues with our most recent call for "Personal Space: Self Portraits" where images came through but they were not paid for. Is there a way to guarantee only those images that are paid for come into the system? For example the first line of images in this call were not paid for.

    Can you please explain your workflow and tell us how are the users paying for images they are uploading? The payment form you provide has only the following 2 products.

    If you want to charge the user for images they uploaded, you will need to add an additional field for each file upload filed and set a condition to pass 1 to that field when the file is uploaded, which conditional logic. You will then have to perform a calculation and pass it to the payment field.

    Submitters can enter up to three images, but they will pay the same rate whether they submit one image or two or three.


    We are using PayPal for payment.


    Is there a way to have them go to pay with PayPal first and then submit the form with image(s) uploaded?
