Without Contact Form 7, the plugin has no forms to attach payments to and will show an admin notice. ### Does it support recurring payments? No. This version supports one-time payments via pay-by-link only. ### Are payment details stored? No. The plugin does not store card numbers or full bank details. Only the minimal references required for payment matching and status updates are stored: transaction ID, amount, payment method, status, and form data. ### Which payment methods are supported? Any ifthenpay method attached to your Gateway Key, including Multibanco, MB WAY, Payshop, Credit Card, Cofidis, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Pix. ### How does the payment process work? After form submission, customers are redirected to a secure payment page hosted by ifthenpay. Once payment is completed, ifthenpay sends a server-side callback to automatically update the entry status. ### What happens if a payment fails or is cancelled? The entry is marked as Failed or Cancelled. The payment can be retried by re-submitting the form. ### Where are payment entries stored? In a custom database table wp_ifthenpay_cf7_entries. View and manage them under Contact Form 7 ifthenpay Entries. ### When do pending payments expire? A daily cron job runs at 23:59 and marks pending payments older than the configured number of days (default: 3) as expired. You can adjust the expiry period on the Integration settings page. ### Can the payment amount come from a form field? Yes. In the per-form settings (form editor ifthenpay Payment Gateway tab), set Payment Amount to “Read from CF7 field” and enter the field name whose value holds the amount. ### Is there a sandbox / test mode? ifthenpay may provide test entities for development and testing purposes. If unavailable, we recommend using a low-value live transaction. ### How secure is the integration? All requests are encrypted over HTTPS and no sensitive payment data is stored on your website. The callback endpoint validates an anti-phishing key and verifies the payment amount before updating any entry. ### Why are payment links failing or setup timing out? Your server firewall or VPN may be blocking outbound requests. The plugin must connect to ifthenpay APIs to function. Ensure your network administrator allows outbound HTTPS traffic to ifthenpay domains. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ifthenpay | Payments for Contact Form 7” is open source software.
