Skip the Ecommerce Setup You Don’t Need

Most advice on accepting payments online starts with an ecommerce platform, a product catalog, and a shopping cart. If you sell a few services, take bookings, or collect donations, that’s a lot of setup for a single payment. With the WPForms Paystack WordPress plugin, you add a payment field to any form, turn on Paystack, and you’re ready to accept payments. It’s stupidly simple.

Let Customers Pay the Way They Already Do

The Paystack popup shows the payment methods that match your account currency. In Nigeria, customers can pay by credit card or bank transfer. In Ghana and Kenya, they can choose credit card or mobile money. In South Africa, they pay by credit card. Paystack also emails each customer a receipt, so they have proof of payment right away.

Pending Paystack payments confirming in WPForms

Never Lose Track of a Late Payment

Bank transfers and mobile money payments don’t always confirm while the customer is still on your page. WPForms marks these payments as pending and checks back with Paystack in the background, so the entry updates when the money lands. If your form creates a user account or applies a coupon, WPForms holds it until the payment is confirmed. That way, nobody gets access before you get paid.

Connect Paystack in Under 5 Minutes

Copy your API keys from the Paystack dashboard, paste them into WPForms, and you’re connected. WPForms picks up your account currency automatically and warns you if it doesn’t match your site settings. Start in test mode to try a few practice payments, then switch to your live keys when you’re happy. No code required.

Viewing and refunding Paystack payments in WordPress

Manage Every Payment From WordPress

Every Paystack payment shows up on the WPForms Payments screen next to the form entry it belongs to. Need to refund someone? Do it in one click from WordPress. If you refund from your Paystack dashboard instead, the record updates on its own. Each payment in Paystack also shows the form name, the items bought, and the customer’s name, so your records match on both sides.

What I like best about WPForms is how easy it is to use while still being powerful. The drag and drop builder makes creating forms quick, even for more advanced setups, and everything just works without unnecessary complexity. It integrates smoothly with WordPress, looks professional out of the box, and saves a lot of time compared to other form plugins.

It is easy to use, easy to setup and above all reliable. Previous WordPress forms solution was supposed to be happy but was far from that. Forms were submitted but nothing was received. With WPForms we can be sure that submitted forms are received. Excellent customer support.

WPForms is absolutely the best and most flexible form builder for WordPress. It has all the possible functionalities from conditional forms such as a payment form, quote form, calculations form, to name a few. I especially love the conditional feature wherein certain fields can show or hide depending on your specifications. Highly recommended!

I was an early adopter of the premium version of WPForms, when it had a limited set of features, but there was no way I was giving up on a product that is THAT easy for me and my clients to use. So it’s been a real pleasure to watch the steady rollout of new and great features. Their add-ons have been free so far, and the Stripe add-on has saved me a considerable amount of money, since there’s often a yearly fee for a payment gateway integration. Support is fantastic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about WPForms Paystack payments? We’ve got answers.

What is the WPForms Paystack addon?

The WPForms Paystack addon is a Paystack WordPress plugin that lets you accept payments on any WordPress form. When a customer submits your form, a Paystack popup opens so they can pay without leaving your site.

You can use it for order forms, donations, deposits, event tickets, and class fees. See the Paystack addon documentation for setup steps.

Is the Paystack WordPress plugin secure?

Yes, the WPForms Paystack WordPress plugin is built with security in mind. Customers enter their payment details in Paystack’s own checkout popup, so card details go to Paystack, not your website.

WPForms also limits repeated payment attempts to help stop card-testing abuse, and it uses webhooks to confirm each payment directly with Paystack.

Which payment methods and currencies does WPForms Paystack support?

WPForms Paystack supports the Nigerian naira, Ghanaian cedi, Kenyan shilling, South African rand, and US dollar. Customers can pay by credit card in every currency.

Nigerian accounts also get bank transfers, while accounts in Ghana and Kenya also get mobile money. WPForms uses the currency of your Paystack account, so set your WPForms currency to match.

Do Paystack payment forms work on mobile phones?

Yes, WPForms Paystack payment forms work on phones, tablets, and desktops. WPForms forms are mobile-responsive, and the Paystack popup opens in the customer’s mobile browser.

That matters for mobile money, since many customers in Ghana and Kenya pay straight from their phones.

Which WPForms plan includes the Paystack addon?

The Paystack addon is included with the WPForms Pro plan and higher. Pro also includes the Stripe, Square, and PayPal Commerce payment addons, plus Coupons and Conditional Logic.

Paystack charges its standard transaction fees for each payment. Compare plans on the WPForms pricing page.

Does WPForms Paystack work with other WPForms features?

Yes, WPForms Paystack works with Conditional Logic, so you can skip the charge when a form answer means nothing is due. It also works with the Coupons addon and the User Registration addon.

For bank transfer and mobile money payments, WPForms waits until Paystack confirms the payment before it counts a coupon use or creates a user account.

How long does it take to set up Paystack payments?

Most people set up WPForms Paystack payments in under 5 minutes. Paste your Paystack API keys into WPForms, add a payment field to your form, and turn on Paystack payments in the form builder.

Your form also needs AJAX form submissions turned on, which takes one click.

Where are my Paystack payments and form entries stored?

WPForms stores your Paystack payment records and form entries in your own WordPress database. You can view, search, and refund them from the WPForms Payments screen.

Paystack keeps its own copy of each transaction in your Paystack dashboard, labeled with the form name and the items bought.

Can I test Paystack payments before going live?

Yes, WPForms Paystack has a test mode. Enter the test API keys from your Paystack dashboard (they start with sk_test_ and pk_test_) and run practice payments with Paystack’s test cards.

When everything works, switch to live mode and enter your live keys.

Do I need WooCommerce or a developer to accept Paystack payments?

No, you don’t need WooCommerce or a developer to accept Paystack payments with WPForms. The drag and drop form builder handles everything, and no coding is required.

If you only sell a few products or services, a payment form is often all you need. Here’s how to sell on WordPress without WooCommerce.
