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. After submitting a form, users are shown a payment interface (modal or popup) where they complete the transaction; ifthenpay then sends a server-side callback to update the payment status automatically.

In plain terms you get:

• One-time payments directly from WPForms
• Support for coupons and automatic total calculations
• Merchant backoffice (basic sales) on web + mobile
• Secure automatic payment confirmations (no card numbers stored)

All settings are made in WPForms and in your ifthenpay Backoffice. The plugin is built so site owners can manage payments without needing deep technical knowledge.

1. Full integration with WPForms Lite and Pro payment flow
2. Secure transactions
3. Automatic payment confirmation
