Learn-to-send-email-via-google-script-html-no-server: Thanks and can we have a payment button too?
THanks for the awesome tutorial. Just wanted to check if you can add some sort of payment button so that we can use this as an order form too.

@smilinrobin thanks for your feedback.
Implementing payment is _kinda_ "_beyond the scope_" of this tutorial.
If you want to implement orders, I suggest you check out PayPal's HTML spec: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/formbasics/

That is a wonderful idea! But I do agree, this is out of scope, since there is a whole plethora of issues with regards to making secure payments online. For one, none of the payment data could be stored in a Google Spreadsheet or visible to whomever created the form. You would need to use some other API/service to store that information. That could be integrated with a form that has input like in this tutorial, but it would likely need to be part of a multi-page purchase or something, one page/form for the Google Spreadsheet/emailed info (such as item to order/shipping info), and another for secure payment. However, I would also caution against some of this use, as information such as purchase orders, items, shipping, etc. could have privacy concerns if sent insecurely as well. I would likely recommend a more advanced, secure solution for that. Interesting though!
