What is Pay by Check Integration?
Pay by Check integration provides your users the option of completing payment for your order forms with a check. This can be the only form of payment that you accept, or it can be combined with other Payment Integration options.
FormSite's Pay by Check Settings
Your form's Pay by Check settings are controlled on the "Form->Payments" page. In order to enable Pay by Check integration for your form, it must meet the following requirements:
- Must have at least one order form (totaling) item
- Must not use the Form Login feature
Setup Pay by Check Integration by following these steps.
- Log into your FormSite account and go to the "Form->Payments" page for your form.
- Select Pay by Check payment integration.
- We recommend entering instructions for your customers on how to make out the check and where to mail it in the Payment Instructions field. A link to the selected Success Page will display to your customers on the Payment Instructions page, with the Link Text shown.
Viewing Pay by Check Results
Once Pay by Check integration has been enabled for your form, you can view the status of a result's Pay by Check transaction by using the "Results->Summary Table" page. Each result row will have a "History" link for more information and one of the following status icons:
 | The customer agreed to pay by check. |
 | The customer has not made any payment attempt. |
Additional Information
We suggest using an Admin Item to store the payment status of Pay by Check orders to help track received checks or any other relevant information.
When Payment Integration is enabled, you can also set Notifications to be sent after the result is confirmed, but before the user pays ("Before Payment"), or only after a successful payment ("After Successful Payment"). With Pay by Check Integration, both options will result in an email being sent after the user confirms the order and selects the Pay by Check option.
