Payment Forms

The plugin provides shortcodes to create payment forms on any page or post:

​
Basic Payment Form

[notchpay_payment_form amount="5000" currency="XAF" button_text="Pay Now"]
This will create a simple payment form with name and email fields.

  currency="XAF" 
  button_text="Pay Now"

Payment Form Parameters

​
Payment Buttons

For a simpler integration, you can use payment buttons: 
[notchpay_button amount="5000" currency="XAF" email="customer@example.com" name="John Doe" button_text="Pay Now"]
This creates a button that directly initiates a payment when clicked, without showing a form.
