With the increasing popularity of remote work and online transactions, it’s no surprise that innovative tools are emerging to simplify and streamline payment processes. We are always amazed by the creative and unique ways Payable users get paid using Google Forms. In this article, we’ll discuss some fun ways you can leverage the power of Google Forms and the Payable Add-On to receive payments effortlessly for your side hustle, hobby or business.
Food Orders
One of our top users has collected over 10,000 lunch orders over the course of several years for their large staff and student body. That is a lot of lunches so being organized and saving time on the administrative process lets these organizers focus on getting food made and delivered accurately and on-time! One of our popular templates that you can download is for a Farm CSA or ‘food order’. We have seen that form modified for use by all sorts of different order types!
Online Quizzes and Contests
Create engaging quizzes or contests using Google Forms and encourage participants to pay a small entry fee. Whether it’s a trivia quiz or a photo contest, people love friendly competitions. You can set up payment options through the Payable Add-On, ensuring that participants pay their entry fees before submitting their responses. We have seen teachers and tutors use this quiz format as part of their intake form to help guide where their students start in their program. Check out these 6 Google Forms Templates that can accept payments with the Payable Add-on for Teachers.
Recurring Personal Training and Coaching Subscriptions
One of the smartest ways to use our Payable Add-on is to have your clients complete their intake form and sign up for recurring or ‘subscription’ payments. For personal trainers and coaches, this let’s you charge a monthly recurring fee simply by adding “ / Monthly” to your form question about their service level.

Digital Downloads and EBooks
If you’re an artist, writer, or musician, Google Forms coupled with the Payable Add-On can be an excellent way to sell your digital creations. Create a form where users can request or purchase your e-books, music tracks, illustrations, or any other digital content you offer. You can keep it simple and put a link in the confirmation email or checkout or you can email a private link after the submission if you prefer a more controlled and secure solution to content delivery. The Payable Add-On allows you to collect payment details, ensuring a seamless and secure transaction experience for both parties involved.
Virtual Tutoring or Consultation
If you have expertise in a particular field, offer virtual tutoring sessions or consultation services through Google Forms. One of our favorite users is Antenna Man who sells consultations about T.V. antennas. We interviewed him on our podcast and blog here. Users can book their sessions by completing the form and making the required payment via the Payable Add-On. This setup simplifies the process of scheduling and receiving payments for your valuable time and knowledge.
Custom Art or Craft
For artists or crafters or food orders, Google Forms integrated with the Payable Add-On can serve as a convenient platform for accepting custom orders. Users can fill out a form detailing their preferences, requirements, and budget for a custom piece of art or craft. By integrating a payment option through the Payable Add-On, customers can conveniently submit their orders along with the payment, making the transaction process hassle-free. We have a Google Form template to help Crafters collect money in a google form right here!
Event Registrations and Ticket Sales
One of our users from New York has collected over 9000 ticket sales for various theater events over the last year! For smaller theaters the cost savings and familiar Google environment make this a great way to keep theater alive! Participants can sign up for your event, select their ticket type, and make the payment directly within the form. This combination streamlines the registration process and ensures that you receive payments promptly, allowing you to focus on organizing a successful event.
