Payment Fields

Payment fields allow users to select items with associated prices from your form. They are available to everyone (unless otherwise noted).

Single Item

Single Item fields display individual items and their prices in a form. This can be useful for prices that are fixed and will always be applied to the total cost, such as a base fee for a program.

You can also enable quantity selection for Single Item fields, allowing users to select the quantity they wish to purchase. For step-by-step instructions on this feature, check out our guide on adding quantities to your payment items.

Multiple Items

With the Multiple Items field, users can choose a single item from any number of choices with different prices. You can also use image or icon choices for each item.

Checkbox Items

The Checkbox Items field will let users choose as many items as they’d like from any number of choices. You can define prices for each item individually, and add an image or icon to each item choice as well.

Dropdown Items

Like the items fields above, the Dropdown Items field contains a list of items with associated prices, but in a more compact format.

You can also enable quantity selection for this field, allowing users to define how many of each option they wish to purchase. For detailed guidance on enabling quantities for this field, refer to our guide on adding quantities to your payment items.

PayPal Commerce

The PayPal Commerce field allows you to easily collect payments with PayPal or a credit card. The user can choose their preferred payment method with a single click.

If the user chooses to pay with PayPal, they’ll see a PayPal button in the form that they can use to access their PayPal account.

If they choose to pay with a credit card, they’ll see fields to enter their credit card details.

Stripe Credit Card

The Stripe Credit Card field works with WPForms Lite and our Stripe Pro addon. It allows users to make a Stripe payment without storing any sensitive credit card data on your site.

Square

The Square field lets users enter their credit card details in your form to make secure payments through Square from your site.

Authorize.Net

The Authorize.Net field works with our Authorize.Net addon. Similar to the Square and Stripe Credit Card fields, it lets users make payments via Authorize.Net without storing credit card data on your site.

Coupon

The Coupon field lets you offer discounts to your customers. By adding this field to your forms, customers can type in a valid coupon code before completing their payment and get a discount.

Total

The Total field adds up the prices of selected items. You can also enable an order summary that neatly displays each item, applied coupons, subtotals, and the grand total in a table format.

That’s it! You’ve now learned the available payment field types in WPForms.
