How to Add and Manage Reusable Payment Connections

November 20, 2024

Jotform’s Reusable Payment Connections make it easy to handle your payment integrations. You can link your account from your preferred payment gateway to Jotform once and then use it anywhere—from your forms to your Jotform apps. No more hassle of reconnecting to the same gateway account whenever you need to accept payments.

You can add the Reusable Payment Connections while building your form. You can also do it through the Connections page of your account panel.

Adding Reusable Payments Connections in the Form Builder

If you are in the Form Builder, you can add the Reusable Payment Connection through the Product List element or by adding a payment gateway.

  1. In the Form Builder, click the Add Element button.
  2. Add the Product List element or add the payment gateway directly.

If you’ve chosen to add a Payment Gateway directly instead of the Product List element, simply click the Plug icon to set up the connection.

Managing Reusable Payment Connections

You can manage your active Reusable Payment Connections through the Connections section of the My Accounts page. On this page, you can do the following:

  • Add a new connection. The flow of adding new connections is almost the same as adding through the Form Builder.
  • View the list of all your connections.
  • View the Gateway, Mode, Status, and the Assets.

Clicking the View under the Assets column will open the Overview page, which will display the Connection Details, which includes the Gateway, Owner, Connection Mode, and the Creation Date. You will also see the Assets tab, which lists the Asset Name, Currency, and Submissions.

You can only delete the Reusable Payment Connection if it has no connected assets. Otherwise, you’ll only see the Edit Name option.

Switching Reusable Payment Connections

If you want to use another gateway in the form, you can switch it easily through the Payment Properties. The only requirement is to ensure you have set up or added a Payment Connection to your new preferred gateway.

  1. In the Form Builder, click the Payment Properties icon on the upper right-side part of the page. Alternatively, select the Payment element to see its inline options, and click the same green icon for the Payment Properties.
