Questions and answers about the aforms integration
Is there a Payrexx integration for aforms?
The form software AFS from 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 are administration fees, permits, applications, registrations or paid information that become due as part of an application process. The application and payment take place in a single step, instead of being processed separately afterwards by invoice.
How do I integrate Payrexx in the AFS-Designer?
First, you create an API key in the Payrexx Comerciante administration under "API and Integrations" and copy it to the clipboard. Then, in the AFS-Designer, navigate to "Administration > Resources" and select an existing form server property or create a new one using the plus symbol. Finally, you enter the properties and save using the checkmark symbol.
Do I need programming skills for forms with Payrexx?
With AFS, multilingual, accessible, and standard-compliant forms can be created without programming knowledge – online, mobile, or as a PDF. The Payrexx integration is also carried out via the configuration in the AFS-Designer, meaning that no custom code is required for the setup.
Which payment methods can applicants use?
Via Payrexx, all relevant payment methods are available in the form with a single acceptance contract: Mastercard, Visa, AMEX, Maestro, PayPal, Apple Pay, TWINT, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PostFinance Card, Invoice, bank transfer, Centi, HeidiPay, WIRpay, Masterpass, Reka and Klarna. Which methods are displayed depends on which ones you have activated in your Payrexx account.
Can fees be paid via TWINT?
