In plain terms you get: * One Gateway Key on your ifthenpay Backoffice, usable across every form on the site * A live, editable table of every payment method provisioned on that Gateway Key, with per-method enable/disable and a default method * Automatic, secure hosted-page checkout with no PCI scope on your server * Real-time status sync back into Formidable’s native Entries and Payments admin screens All settings are managed within Formidable’s own Global Settings screen and your ifthenpay Backoffice. The plugin is designed so site owners can handle payments without requiring advanced technical knowledge. #### Requirements * An active ifthenpay merchant account with a Backoffice Key. * A Gateway Key registered to that Backoffice Key, with the payment methods you want to accept provisioned on it. * Formidable Forms (free) must be installed and active, with its bundled free payments module (this plugin does not currently support sites using the separate paid Formidable “Payments” add-on). * WordPress 6.3+ and PHP 7.4+, with HTTPS (SSL) enabled on your site. #### External Services This plugin connects to the ifthenpay API (`https://api.ifthenpay.com`) to: * Validate your Backoffice Key and list the Gateway Keys registered to it. * Fetch the payment methods available and provisioned on your Gateway Key. * Create a Pay by Link payment session when a form with an ifthenpay payment action is submitted. * Register the webhook URL ifthenpay uses to notify your site when a payment completes. * Look up a payment’s live status (`/gateway/transaction/status/get`) as a supplementary check while the payer waits for the async webhook. Data sent includes: your Backoffice Key and Gateway Key (setup and settings screen); a payment reference id, amount, description, enabled accounts string, success/error/ cancel return URLs, language, and optional link-expiry date and default method ( on submission); your site’s callback URL (when saving settings); and the transaction id ifthenpay returned for that payment (for the live status check). No card, MB WAY, or bank data is ever collected or stored on your server — the payer completes payment entirely on ifthenpay’s own hosted page. See ifthenpay’s terms of service (https://ifthenpay.com/termos-e-condicoes/) and privacy policy (https:// ifthenpay.com/politica-de-privacidade/). ### Key Features 1.

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. ### Does it support recurring payments? 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. ### Are payment details stored? 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. ### Which payment methods are supported? 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. ### How does the payment process work? 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. ### What happens if a payment fails or is canceled? 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. ### Can I customize the payment experience? 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. ### Is there a sandbox? 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. ### How secure is the integration? 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. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “ifthenpay | Payments for Formidable Forms” is open source software.
