Questions and answers about the aforms integration
Is there a Payrexx integration for aforms?
The form software AFS by aforms can be connected to Payrexx so that payments are processed directly within an online form. The integration is carried out in the AFS Designer via a form server property. The steps are described in the Payrexx documentation.
What can I use Payrexx for in aforms forms?
Typical use cases include administration fees, permits, applications, registrations or paid information that become due as part of an application process. Application and payment take place in a single step, instead of being billed separately downstream via invoice.
