Subscription Support and SCA Compliance: Stay Ahead

FormCraft – Monetary Transfer enhances its capabilities by supporting recurring subscription payments. This allows you to easily set up payment plans for services or products offered through your forms. Users can subscribe once and payments will be automatically processed at set intervals. Managing subscriptions directly through your forms streamlines operations and enhances the user experience.

Security is paramount. This plugin addresses Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements. SCA adds extra layers of security during online transactions. This plugin helps you to be compliant by supporting the protocols required for SCA compliance. This reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions and protects both you and your customers.

This plugin originated as a forked version of a plugin originally made by Saturday Drive. The decision to create a forked version was made to expand features and address specific needs of the community.

Open Source: Freedom and Customization

The open-source nature of FormCraft – Monetary Transfer offers unmatched advantages. You gain the freedom to tailor the plugin to your specific needs. Customize features, modify behaviors, and integrate it seamlessly with other systems. This level of control is impossible with closed-source solutions.

Extend the plugin’s functionality by adding new features or adapting existing ones. The open-source license grants you the right to modify and distribute your own versions. A vibrant community of developers contributes to and supports the plugin. This means access to shared knowledge, community-driven improvements, and collaborative troubleshooting.

Being a fork offers distinct advantages. Building upon a solid, established foundation allows for rapid development. This approach allows the team to learn from the successes and challenges of the original project. The fork allows the project to continue under a new license and direction to suit current user needs and desires.

Troubleshooting Common Payment Form Problems

Setting up payment forms involves potential pitfalls. A frequent issue is incorrect gateway configuration. Double-check API keys, merchant IDs, and currency settings. Mismatched or missing credentials cause transaction failures. Another common problem is form validation. Ensure all required fields are correctly configured and validated on both the client and server sides. Use appropriate input types (e.g., email, number) to prevent errors.

Debugging payment issues requires careful logging. Enable detailed logging on your payment gateway and the form processing script. Inspect logs for error messages and transaction details. Remember to handle sensitive data securely in logs. Consider using a staging environment for testing payment forms. This allows you to identify and fix issues without affecting live transactions. Address licensing problems through forking. This ensures continued functionality. The continued development of the forked plugin addresses the end of life of the original.

Getting Started: Installation and Configuration

Let’s begin setting up FormCraft – Monetary Transfer. First, download the plugin file. Next, upload the plugin to your platform using the plugin installation feature. Activate the plugin once uploaded.

Now, configure your payment gateways. Navigate to the plugin settings panel. Here, you’ll find options to connect to different payment processors. Enter the necessary API keys and credentials for your chosen gateway. Ensure you enable the gateway after configuring it.

To create a payment form, use the form builder interface. Add fields for collecting necessary customer data. Include a “Payment” field. Configure this field with payment amounts. Link the payment field to your chosen gateway. Customize the payment options, like accepted card types. Also, remember to set up any recurring payment options if available.

Finally, test the form with a small transaction. Confirm the payment gateway processes it correctly. Check that funds are transferred to your account. This ensures everything is working smoothly before going live. Customize confirmation messages and thank you pages. These settings improve the user experience.
