How to use the cardlink plugin

Mapping the fields required for submissions to be recorded within Cardlink

Making sure the form is sent to the payment processor

The payment details will only be sent to the cardlink payment processor if the user selects cardlink from the "Choose Payment" field before submitting the form.

The "Choose Payment" field is used in order to allow the users to choose their payment method. It displays the payment methods added to the form in either a Dropdown or Radio Group. It can be shown on the form (allowing the user to select his preferred payment method) or not (forcing the user to pay using the default payment method).

For the Cardlink payment method to be available within the Choose payment field, the Cardlink payment field needs to be added in form.

Adding costs

In order to receive funds using RSForm!Pro and cardlink payment plugin, your form needs to include a cost. In order to add costs to your form you can use any of the following fields:

• Single Product - Adds a single product to the form. For this type of field you can set up a caption, description and a price.
• Multiple Products - Adds the ability to display multiple products to be purchased either in a Dropdown or a Checkbox. Its items need to be specified in the following manner: price | label (ex: 15 | T-shirt)
• Quantity - Allows the user to choose the amount of products (simple or multiple).
• Donation - Allows the user to type in the amount to be paid inside a standard Textbox.
• Total - This field is used alongside the Donation, Single and Multiple Products fields. It calculates the total price to be paid.
