Link Formidable Forms to Pronamic Pay
Time needed: 10 minutes
A step-by-step guide to adding payment methods to a Formidable Forms (Lite) form.
- Login to your WordPress website
Once you have logged in, you will be taken to the ‘WordPress Dashboard’.
- Create a new form
Navigate to the Formidable item and create a new blank form. Give the new form a title.
- Add fields to the form
Furnish the form by selecting the fields you want to add to the form. Also add a number field to the form and give it a name, for example: ‘Amount’.
- Add the ‘Payment methods’ field
Also add the ‘Payment methods’ field to the form. By editing the field, you can exclude payment methods you don’t want to show on the form. Optionally, you can also add the ‘Banks’ field to your form.
- Add Pronamic Pay as an action to the form
Navigate to Settings (at the top of the page), then click Actions & Notifications. Click on the action Pronamic Pay. Under the ‘Amount’ and ‘Payment method’ options, select the ‘Amount’ and ‘Payment method’ fields from the form (created in steps 3 and 4).
- Enter a transaction description
Enter a transaction description if required. You can use Formidable Forms’ shortcodes for this.
- Postpone sending e-mail notifications
Optionally, you can postpone sending email notifications until payment is complete. To do this, you can check the option ‘Defer sending email notifications until payment is received.’
- Save the form
Finally, save the form by clicking the blue ‘Update’ button.
- Test the form
The link with Formidable Forms and Pronamic Pay is now active. View the form and check if the payment process is correct.
Formidable Forms Pro and iDEAL
Formatting a payment form from Formidable Forms Pro is almost identical to the above step-by-step process. The advanced field options introduced by Formidable Forms Pro allow you to present various payment options. Using a drop-down list, you can present different options to the customer. This is done by providing a price value for each choice option. This price value is then transferred to the chosen payment option, e.g. iDEAL.
