When a user successfully completes the payment process for their submission, it is immediately recorded as a valid payment submission. However, for off-page payment gateways like PayPal Personal, payments are logged as incomplete until the transaction is successfully completed.
If a user discontinues the payment process midway or closes their browser during or after being redirected to the payment page, the system records their submission as incomplete.
Additionally, declined payments for off-page or redirected payment gateways are also marked as incomplete:
- Stripe Checkout
- PayPal Checkout
- PayPal Personal
- PayPal Express
- Venmo
- PayPal Invoicing
- PayU
- PayU Money
- PayU TR
- Worldpay UK
- Payfast
- Stripe ACH
- 2Checkout
- Skrill
- Sofort
- Paymentwall
- iyzico
Your form records the incomplete payment in Jotform Tables through the Pending Payment section.
Follow these steps to view the incomplete payments for your payment forms:
- In the My Forms page, click on the form you want to open to view incomplete submissions.
- Next, click on the Submissions button at the top.
Alternatively, hover your mouse over the form, click on the More button on the right, and select Submissions under the Data column in the menu.
- In Jotform Tables, click on the Three Dots icon next to the name of the active tab.
- Then, click on Incomplete payments in the Tab menu.
- In the Incomplete Payments section that appears on the right of the page, hover your mouse over a submission with incomplete payment, and click on the View details button.
- On the next screen, review the submission and click on either the Delete Forever button or the Complete button.
You can also select all or multiple submissions in the Incomplete Payments section and click on a button to perform an action on them simultaneously.
Deleting Pending Payments
When you click on the Delete Forever button in the Incomplete Payments section, a confirmation window appears. It reminds you that the action is irreversible and the submission will be completely inaccessible once you click on Delete Now.
Notes
Submissions that have been pending more than 30 days will be automatically deleted.
Marking Pending Payments as Completed
When you click on the Cancel button in the Incomplete Payments section, a confirmation window also appears. It informs you that the submission will be marked as completed, triggering form email alerts and other related actions, such as integrations and workflows.
This action also adds the submission to your table and reports alongside other entries. However, it does not retry the payment process or charge form users.
Notes
Submissions that are completed by manually will be counted as payment submissions if the connection you are using in your payment form is in Live mode.

Is there any way to export or print all the pending payments to give to someone else to follow up payments?

Hello,
I'm having this exact issue: I received payment and notification of submission, but when I come to jotform, there is no submission. I tried to go to the "pending payment" as mentioned, but there is NO pending payment tab where this says it is.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!

It's EXTREMELY inconvenient that the form filler can't go back and complete with, say, a different payment method.
It's also ridiculous that this takes a major archaeological dig to reach.

I just noticed that 2/5/22, all the payments/submissions are marked "In progress" under the APPROVAL column. What does this mean?

For Paypal and Stripe it works automatically. Since 2 or 3 months with SOFORT we always manually confirm the pending paymants. Thats such a hassel. Can we figure out a solution for that?

Can I make the automated e-mail conditional to succesful payment? I want to sent a submission ticket if the payment was succeful and I want to sent a reminder to try again if the payment wasn't succesful. Is that possible?

is there an option to be automatically alerted when a payment is pending/incomplete? We don't log into our account that much during certain times of the year, so this is easy to miss unless we are of course checking regularly.
Thanks in advance!

So how do we know if it is complete? If paypal completes it will it automatically complete or do we manually have to do it?
