    Form on Page Example

    1. Once you are happy that everything is working correctly, the page needs to be uploaded to your website using FTP or a file manager, if you do not have access to your server to add custom pages ask your web developer to do this.

Extra Functionality​

Your newly uploaded payment page contains some additional functionality; you can customise the URL for individual customers. For example: once you have uploaded your page and have the following URL: http://mywebsite.com/payment_form.html you can add certain parameters after the URL for individual merchants. For example: http://mywebsite.com/payment_form.html?order_id=123&amount=10.00&description=TransactionExample

Form example

So the Invoice ID/Ref, amount and description fields on your payment form would be prefilled. This is useful if you are sending a payment link through an email, and you want the page setup for the customer without them having to type anything.
