Also, declined payments for the following off-page or redirected payment gateways are also marked as incomplete:

  • Marking an Incomplete Payment as completed adds the submission to your table and reports alongside other entries. It also triggers email alerts and different related actions, such as integrations and workflows. But, it doesn’t retry the payment process or charge form users.
  • Submissions completed manually will be counted as Payment Submissions if the connection you’re using in your payment form is in Live mode.
