Theme Customization

Form Fields

Form fields help you collect information along with payment. Available field types:

• Name
• Email
• Phone Number
• Billing Address
• Shipping Address
• Country
• Text
• Multiline Text
• Dropdown
• Date Time
• Repeater
• HTML

Embed Code

PaymentForm.io gives you an embed code so you can place a form on an existing website page. This is useful when you already have a website, blog, landing page, or campaign page and want users to complete the payment without leaving that page.

Export Files

You can export all orders, transactions, or submission data from any form at any time. Data can be exported as a CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file, making it easy to import into accounting tools, CRM systems, or spreadsheets for reporting and record-keeping.

Password Protected

Forms can be restricted with a password so that only people who have the password can access and submit the form. This is useful for exclusive offers, private sales, internal forms, or early-access campaigns. When password protection is enabled, visitors are shown a password entry screen before seeing the form.

Webhooks

Webhooks help you send form and payment data to another tool automatically. For example, you can send new order data, donation details, or submission information to your CRM, automation tool, spreadsheet, or custom application.

This is useful when you want PaymentForm.io to work with other tools you already use.

Custom Domain

A custom domain lets you publish your forms using your own branded domain. Instead of sharing a default PaymentForm.io link, you can use a domain or subdomain connected to your brand. This can help make your form link look more professional and easier to trust.

Google Analytics

Connect your Google Analytics property to any form to track visitor behavior, page views, form interactions, and conversion events. This gives you insight into where your traffic is coming from, how users move through your form, and where drop-offs occur.

Meta Pixel

Integrate Facebook’s Meta Pixel with your payment forms to track conversions, optimize ad targeting, and build retargeting audiences.

Mobile Responsive

All payment forms created with PaymentForm.io are fully mobile responsive. Forms automatically adapt their layout to look and work correctly on any screen size, smartphones, tablets, and desktops. No additional configuration is needed; responsiveness is built in by default.

Coupon Generate

The coupon generator lets you create discount codes that customers can apply at checkout. You can create percentage-based or fixed-amount discounts, set expiry dates, and limit how many times a coupon can be used. Coupons are ideal for promotions, seasonal sales, loyalty rewards, or referral programs.

Custom Thank You Page

After someone submits a form or completes payment, you can show a success message.

Invoice Builder

PaymentForm.io can automatically generate a PDF invoice for every completed payment. The invoice includes a detailed breakdown of items purchased, quantities, prices, applicable taxes, and totals. You can customize it with your business name, logo, address, and other branding details. Invoices can be sent automatically to customers via email after each transaction.

Custom Email Template

You have full control over the notification emails sent by your forms. You can customize the subject line, body content, and greeting for both admin notification emails (sent to you when a payment occurs) and customer confirmation emails (sent to the payer). Dynamic variables let you insert order details, customer names, and amounts automatically into the email body.

QR Code Generator

Each published form has a unique QR code that links directly to it. This is useful for print materials like flyers, posters, business cards, or event signage. Anyone who scans the QR code is taken directly to your payment form.

Create Tax Rule

The tax rules feature allows you to define custom tax rates and apply them automatically at checkout. You can create rules based on country, state, or region, and assign them to specific forms. When a customer fills in their billing or shipping address, the applicable tax rate is calculated and displayed transparently before payment.

Payment Gateway

PaymentForm.io acts as a front-end checkout layer that connects to the payment gateway of your choice. You connect your own account from a supported provider, and all payments are processed and deposited directly into that account. PaymentForm.io does not handle or hold funds.Supported gateways: Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, Mollie, and more.

Customer Portal

The Customer Portal is a self-service area where your customers can log in and view their order history, payment records, and transaction details. This reduces the volume of support inquiries and gives buyers transparency into their purchases. The portal is accessible via a link you can share with customers.

Multi-Currency Support

You can set the currency for each form independently, allowing you to accept payments in your local currency or the currency of your target market. PaymentForm.io supports all major currencies supported by your connected payment gateway.

Multi-Language Support

Built-in Analytics

Each form comes with its own analytics dashboard. You can view the number of form views, submission counts, conversion rate, total revenue collected, and a visual sales funnel showing where visitors drop off.
