Adding a Form
Forms use a simple CSV file format that you will have to type in manually until we develop a proper form creation interface for it.

To setup a sample on your site do this.
- Add the following widget code to the page you want the form displayed on.

Paypal
Using the Paypal is a bit more complicated to use than the other form elements as it needs to be connected to two other form elements for it to work correctly.
You will need to know the "Paypal Item Name", and the "Paypal Item cost" These values can be gathered from other elements. When you select an element its ID can be found near the bottom in black typewriter text.
Calculate
Use Calculate to take multiple fields and calculate a value for this field. Use the Elements ID in your calculations.
