ifthenpay | Payments for Formidable Forms

Yes. The free Formidable Forms plugin, with its bundled "Lite" payments module, must be installed and active. This plugin does not currently support sites using the separate paid Formidable "Payments" add-on.

No. ifthenpay Pay by Link is a one-time payment per submission; the recurring payment type is hidden for the ifthenpay gateway on Formidable's own action settings screen.

No. The plugin never stores card numbers, MB WAY numbers, or bank details. Your Backoffice Key is stored server-side only and is never exposed to the browser once connected.

Any method ifthenpay provisions on your Gateway Key — commonly Multibanco, MB WAY, Payshop, Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cofidis, and Pix. The methods table on the settings screen always reflects exactly what's active on your account.

After the form is submitted, the entry is created and the payer is redirected to ifthenpay's hosted payment page. Once they complete payment, ifthenpay calls your site's callback endpoint to confirm it, and the entry's payment status updates automatically.

The payer is sent back to your site and shown a fixed message. The Formidable entry is still created (in a pending state) so the submission isn't lost, and a payer can return to the same payment link later if it's still valid.

Yes. You can customize the Payment Received and Payment Pending messages (show message, redirect, or open a new tab), the pay button's text, and whether payment-method icons are shown, from Formidable → Global Settings → Ifthenpay Extras.

ifthenpay may provide test entities for a Gateway Key on request; otherwise, use a low-value live test to confirm your setup end-to-end.

All requests to the ifthenpay API are made server-side over HTTPS. The webhook callback is authenticated with an anti-phishing key unique to your Gateway Key, and each payment's amount is verified before being marked complete.
