Customize Form-Specific Payment Settings

Paymattic allows you to customize the settings of your Stripe and PayPal payment methods for each form individually. For instance, if you have already set up the Stripe/PayPal payment method for transactions, you can use Payment settings to customize the settings or add different Stripe/PayPal accounts to specific forms.

This article will guide you through the process of using the Payment (Stripe and PayPal) settings for particular forms.

Remember

This Payment settings in a form is a Pro Feature and you need Paymattic Pro Plugin to use this feature.

Payment Settings in a Specific Form

First, go to the All Forms section from the Paymattic Navbar, and open a Payment Form by clicking the Pencil icon that has Stripe and PayPal payment methods added.

TIP

If you do not have any existing Payment form, read this Documentation to learn how to Create a Payment Form.

Additionally, read this Documentation to learn how you can add your desired Payment method/s to your form.

For example, I choose an existing payment form where Stripe and PayPal both are added as payment methods to show the whole process.

Or, you can directly open the desired form's Settings tab by clicking the Three-Dot Icon and then pressing the Settings option from the dropdown list.

Enable this option by clicking the Toggle button if you want to send the collected submission data to your Stripe Dashboard through the Paymattic Form.

You can use the Shortcode button to set the value for sending necessary submission data automatically. To send more data click the +Add More button and delete any of the fields click the Trash icon.

For example, here, I chose to send the Form Submission ID from Paymattic to Stripe Dashboard.

As per global settings: If you select this option, the configuration of Stripe that you have set up globally for all forms will also apply to this form. To learn the process of Stripe Configuration from Global Settings, read this Documentation.

Custom Stripe Credentials: Select this option if you want to set up a different Stripe Account only for this form. To add the stripe account, first, choose a Payment Mode between Live (for real payments) and Test (for test payments) modes as needed. Then, provide the Publishable key and Secret key from your Stripe Account.
