From Zero to Paid: Quick Start Guide

Ready to start collecting fees? First, install the plugin. Activate it through the plugins menu. Now, configure your preferred payment gateways in settings. Input the necessary API keys or credentials. This part is crucial for processing transactions.

Next, create a new form or edit an existing one. Add fields for collecting user data. Then, insert a ‘Total’ field. This automatically calculates the amount due based on user selections. Finally, add a ‘Payment’ field. This lets users choose their payment method and complete the transaction.
