Gravity Perks Pay Per Word

Some services are priced by length: proofreading, custom writing, classified ads, content submissions and social media posts. A flat fee rarely fits those, and manual quotes slow everyone down. This plugin works with Gravity Forms to count the words in a text field and turn that count into a price, so the customer and the site owner see the same figure.

The price updates live as users type in Paragraph, Post Body and other textarea fields, so there are no surprises at checkout. You can set a base price that includes a minimum number of words, and you can cap the word count in a field. It uses the word count built into Gravity Forms and also offers PHP filters and hooks for more complex setups.

Features

• Live price updates: The cost changes as users type, so customers see exactly what they will be charged for the words they have written before they submit the form.
• Works with several text fields: Pay Per Word fields support Paragraph, Post Body and other textarea fields in Gravity Forms, so you can choose where word-based pricing applies.
• Base price with included words: Set a minimum fee that covers a specific number of words. Words beyond that amount are charged on top, which suits starting tiers.
• Word count limits: Restrict how many words a user can enter in a Pay Per Word field to enforce submission guidelines or keep a cap on pricing.
• Built on Gravity Forms word count: Calculations rely on the native word count in Gravity Forms, so the number used for pricing matches the number in the field.
• Developer hooks and filters: PHP filters and hooks let developers change supported field types, word counts and price calculations to fit more complex use cases.
• Rich text editor support: The plugin works with the advanced content editors available in Gravity Forms, so word-based pricing also applies to formatted text entries.
• Multi-currency price formatting: Prices display correctly across currencies, including non-US and Euro currencies, so customers see amounts in a familiar format.
