PayRequest vs Google Forms: which fits your payment form?

Google Forms is a convenient choice for surveys and response collection, with add-ons available from Google Workspace Marketplace. If payment, product selection and the customer’s answers should be part of one branded checkout, PayRequest Payment Forms provide that flow directly. Verify any Google Forms add-on’s provider, setup and reconciliation behavior before relying on it.

Payment collection

Google documents Forms add-ons as a way to connect Forms with other systems; payment functionality can be supplied by third-party add-ons.

Connected providers

PayRequest offers eligible provider connections for forms, including PayPal, Mollie, Stripe, Revolut and Payoneer, subject to account and currency availability.

Products and delivery

PayRequest can connect compatible existing one-time products to a form and use the native order and delivery flow after verified payment.
