Important Note
Payment statuses that you see when collecting payments are merely labels; they do not take any action on the credit card or merchant account. You cannot resubmit or refund a credit card transaction by changing these statuses. That can only be done in your merchant account/gateway interface.
Online payment status
- A payment processed successfully through a payment gateway will be indicated with a Paid status.
- If an online payment is not completed/valid, then the form will not submit, no submission will be recorded, and no payment status will be available.
Offline payment status
For offline payments, the status is set to "Unpaid" by default and can then be changed by the form admin.
- When a form is submitted with an offline payment option selected, the payment status is set to Unpaid. The form admin can manually change this status to Paid when payment has been received.
- When a form is submitted with an offline payment type selected, it isn't possible for Forms to automatically track the status of the payment (for obvious reasons).
Change payment status
To change the payment status, first click on the submission you wish to change. In the detail pane on the right, click the edit pencil next to the payment status.
In the Change Payment Status box, toggle the payment status to "Paid," enter a comment if needed, and select Save.
The payment status is now updated and the optional comment is displayed below.
