Set Up a Payment Gateway

Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans

Setting up a payment gateway is an admin task. Once set up, form authors can add the payment field to forms using existing gateways.

Before you can take payments through a form, you'll need to set up a payment gateway. The payment gateway connects your site and the financial provider so online transactions can be completed in real time.

To use a payment gateway, you must first sign up with your chosen provider to receive the details you need to set it up in OpenForms. After setting up, you and your form authors can add payments to your forms.

Sign Up for a Payment Gateway

There are several payment gateway providers that OpenForms accepts. When you sign up with them, they should provide you with the information you need when setting up in OpenForms. The table below details which providers are available per region, and what information you need from them to set up the gateway.

Set Up the Payment Gateway in OpenForms

Once you have signed up for a payment gateway and the financial provider has given you the relevant information, you can set it up in OpenForms.

  1. Go to Integrations > Connectors > Payment gateways.
  2. Select the payment gateway you want to connect with and select Add.
  3. Enter the information your provider gave you and any additional transaction data or settings.
  4. Select Add and it will be listed under Active connections.
  5. To edit a gateway, select it in the list of Active connections and then make and save your changes. You can also see how many forms are using the connection and select See all to view a searchable list of forms.

With your gateway set up, you and your form authors can add it to your forms using the Payment field.

We recommend testing the gateway by submitting a payment through a preview of your form while logged in as a form author. This will provide you with additional details if the payment fails that you can use to troubleshoot issues. Please note that test payments are still processed, so it's best to test forms with a very small payment.
