Set Stripe Payment properties

The Stripe Payment field embeds a payment form directly inside your PlatoForms form — users pay without leaving the page.

Stripe Payment Widget vs. Stripe Checkout

PlatoForms offers two ways to collect Stripe payments:

Use the Stripe Payment Widget when you want users to stay on your form. Use Stripe Checkout when you prefer a redirect to Stripe’s hosted payment page. Not sure which to use? See Stripe Checkout vs. Stripe Payment Widget.

Add field

In the form builder, open the left toolbar, click More Widgets (three dots), then select Stripe Payment under Enhanced Features.

Connect your Stripe account

In the widget properties panel, click Connect under both slots:

• Connect with Stripe — processes real payments on your published form
• Connect with Stripe (Test Mode) — used in form preview for testing with Stripe’s test card numbers

Configure payment amount

Fixed amount

Select Fixed Amount and enter a number. Every submission charges the same price.

Amount from a form field

Select Amount from a form field to charge a dynamic price calculated elsewhere in the form.

1. Add a Short Text field, label it (for example, pricing), and mark it as Hidden on Form.
2. In the Stripe widget properties, set Payment Amount Field to that field.
3. Optionally, include {{pricing}} in the widget Label — it updates in real-time as users fill out the form.

Use form logic to set the price based on user selections.

Enable Apple Pay

To accept Apple Pay, you must register your form’s domain in your Stripe account.

1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard.
2. Go to Settings > Payment methods > Payment method domains.
3. Click Add a new domain and add the relevant domains:

   Form type	Domain
   Live form	form.platoforms.com
   Preview	design.platoforms.com
   HIPAA	secure.platoforms.com
   Custom domain	e.g. myform.company.com
