Payment collection

Add a payment field to forms that need checkout

A payment field connects the information-gathering part of a form with the checkout step. Use it for invoices, deposits, donations, registrations, orders, and other workflows where the response and payment belong together.

Why it helps

Payment Field for cleaner online forms

Use the right feature deliberately so the form is easier to complete, easier to manage, and easier to connect to the rest of your work.

  • Collect fixed amounts, custom entered amounts, or multiple payment options.
  • Show a clearer checkout summary before sending the payer through the connected provider.
  • Support provider-specific methods such as Stripe cards, wallets, ACH, and eligible buy-now-pay-later options.
  • Keep payment context attached to the submitted form response.

Workflow

Common payment field workflows

  1. Add a payment field to the form.
  2. Choose the connected payment provider and amount type.
  3. Configure allowed payment methods, fees, or options where needed.
  4. Test the public form before collecting real payments.

Payment workflow

Payment Field with the form context attached

Collect the details your team needs in Maxforms, then route eligible payment steps through a connected provider checkout flow.

Set the payment context

Use fixed amounts, selected options, or supporting fields so the checkout matches the form.

Use provider checkout

Keep sensitive payment details with the connected payment provider instead of regular form fields.

Review the submission

See the order, donation, invoice, or registration context alongside the submitted form details.
