Sofort Payment Process

When users submit your form, they will be redirected to Sofort’s payment page to complete the payment. Here’s a demo:

Note that the payment completion might take up to 10 minutes. In this case, you will find the payment from the Incomplete Payment section of the Jotform Tables.

Another thing to note is that if you complete a submission manually from the Incomplete Payments section, you won’t see the Transaction ID in form emails, Jotform Tables, and Inbox even after the payment is received. Also, manually completed submissions for Sofort will always increase your payment submissions count even if they are in test mode.

At Sofort, you need to view the transaction and confirm if the payment has been received. Go to https://www.sofort.com/payment/transactions, and click the Transaction ID:

If you’re sure the payment is received, click the Payment Received button in the transaction details, and you’re done. At this stage, the form emails 3rd-party integrations are triggered.

Lastly, you can find both Form ID and Submission ID from the transaction list. It’s helpful in finding and referencing submissions from your customers.
