$30 To The Person That Can Fix This Problem Today

[Andrew Scherer]

I have a little problem with the order forms I'm setting up with officeautopilot.

Because the products are digital I don't need to collect fields like billing/shipping address, but when I remove these fields the form doesn't function correctly (the redirect to paypal for payment breaks).

Support told me I can use something like CSS to hide the fields (display:none?) and also have them prefilled with default values so the "this field is required" error won't trigger.

I have to make a bunch of these so any edits you do I'll have to replicate, throw in some commenting maybe if you can

PM me so I can give you my skype

So you pretty much want to do this to the fields you don't need according to support. Exactly how many of these fields do you need fixed right now?

<input type="text" style="display:none;" value="somethinghere" />

Glad to see it's working for you.

make sure a bot blasting away at your forms can't fuck anything up by injecting different values into those hidden areas and submitting

You might want to use something along the lines of:
<input type="text" name="country" value="Merica" readonly="readonly">

The problem is a bot can still post the fields to the page so it doesn't matter if it's readonly or not. If the cart is good it will have it's own ways of ensuring that the cart is valid.

Do I still have to worry about bots even if its an order form that gets completed on paypal payment?

^ very likely not,
if you start getting spam submissions your form (the one sitting on your server), you could always install a captcha ... would solve not all, but most of it
