Creating Project at Sofort
First, you have to go to Sofort’s website and complete the following steps to integrate with Jotform successfully.

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.

ho creato il nuovo progetto con Sofort. Adesso vorrei inserirlo nel modulo ma non si evidenzia nei metodi di pagamento. Sofort dice che: " Si prega di notare che con il numero ID di progetto di 6 cifre, gli ID delle transazioni aumenteranno di una cifra. Saranno eventualmente necessarie anche modifiche ala tua piattaforma. A tale riguardo, si prega di contattare il produttore della piattaforma".
Resto in attesa di un vostro cortese riscontro.
Cordiali saluti
