How do payment forms work on SharaForms?

You add a payment field to your form, connect a Stripe account, and set either a fixed amount or a payer-defined amount. Submissions trigger checkout, and completed payments attach to the submission record.

Can customers choose how much to pay?

Yes. Payer-entered amounts suit donations, deposits, tips, and open invoices. Minimum amounts can be enforced with validation rules so contributions stay within sensible bounds.

Are payment details stored on my form?

No. Card data is handled by the payment gateway and never touches your submissions. Your records store the payment status, amount, and payer identity, keeping you outside sensitive card-data compliance scope.

About Payment Forms

A payment form pairs the fields needed to identify a transaction, such as payer details, amount selection, and purpose, with a connected payment gateway that processes cards securely. Businesses use payment forms for invoices, deposits, tuition, dues, and services sold without a storefront. SharaForms forms integrate with Stripe so money lands in your account as submissions arrive.

What to include in a secure payment form

Payer name, email, and billing reference
Amount field: fixed price or payer-entered
Line-item or purpose description
Stripe-connected card processing
Receipt or confirmation email on success
Currency matching your business location
