ifthenpay | Payments for WPForms

Description

This plugin integrates the ifthenpay payment gateway with WPForms to enable seamless payment collection directly from your forms. Payments are processed through a secure pay-by-link system, ensuring that no sensitive card or banking data is stored on your website. Customers can complete payments using their preferred method via a secure payment page.

In plain terms you get:
* One-time payments through WPForms
* Support for orders
* Merchant backoffice (basic sales) on web + mobile
* Automatic payment confirmations (no card numbers stored)

All settings are managed within WPForms and your ifthenpay Backoffice. The plugin is designed so store owners can handle payments without requiring advanced technical knowledge.

Key Features

1. Full integration with WPForms lite and pro payment fields
2. Secure transactions
3. Automatic payment confirmation (fast access)
4. Support for multiple payment methods (cards, wallets, transfers)
5. Coupon and discount support via WPForms
6. Secure full-page redirect to ifthenpay’s hosted payment page
7. Real-time payment status in WPForms
8. Multi-language support (EN, ES, FR, PT)
9. Security-first approach (no card data stored)

Requirements

• An active ifthenpay merchant account.
• A Gateway Key configured for WPForms (request via ifthenpay support).
• Backoffice Key
• WordPress 6.5+ and PHP 8.2+, with WPForms installed and activated.
• HTTPS (SSL) enabled on your site.

Popup Confirmation Messages

Each ifthenpay-enabled form has its own Popup Confirmation Messages, configured in Create/Edit a form → Payments tab. These control what customers see in the ifthenpay payment popup for each outcome, and are separate from — and not affected by — WPForms’ own Confirmations tab.

• Customize the message shown for each of the four outcomes: Paid, Pending, Failed, and Cancelled. Each one is pre-filled with sensible default text that you can edit or leave as-is.
• For the Paid outcome only, choose a Confirmation Type: show a Message in the popup, redirect to a WPForms Page, or redirect to a Redirect URL — the same flexibility as WPForms’ native confirmations.
• Optionally enable “Show entry preview after confirmation message” on the Paid outcome, so customers see a summary of their submitted entry right after the payment confirmation message.
