Add and collect payments with embeds
Availability: Business* and Enterprise* plans
* 250 docs per year per account are included. You can purchase additional embed at $2 per document.
The embeds feature allows you to collect payments along with signatures.
This functionality works the same way as with PandaDoc documents. Simply follow these three steps:
- Connect one of the following payment applications: Stripe, PayPal, QuickBooks Payments, Square, or Authorize.net
- Add a payment app to your embed
- Publish your embed
Here’s a detailed description of each step.
Connect a payment gateway
Go to Marketplace > Payment gateways, then connect your payment app to PandaDoc.
Add a payment to your form
- Open your embed, then click on the Apps icon on the right panel
- Click on Payment to add it
- Assign a payer: Which one of your embed's roles will be paying?
- Set a payment amount
If you don’t see the payment app icon, make sure you’ve unpublished your embed first.
If you see a message that reads, “Configure payment gateway before sending form with Payment,” you’ll need to connect a payment application (Stripe, Square, etc.) to your PandaDoc account. Simply click on Configure gateway, then follow the instructions.
Now you’re ready to accept payments!
Publish your embed and accept payments
Once you’ve set up your payment and updated your embed (if necessary), click Publish in the top right corner.
If you’ve already added your embed on your website, you don’t need to do anything else. Your embed will update with the payment app once you click Publish.
If you need to add the embed on your website, click Get code and copy the embed code. Next, add the code to your website editor. Here’s a more detailed guide on how to publish forms.
Now let’s look at how the recipient will make a payment via your embed.
The recipient will start the payment process by adding their contact information.
Their next steps are to fill out the embed, sign it, and click Finish to finalize the signature.
Then, they’ll click Pay to proceed to payment.
If you have multiple payment methods set up, the embed recipient will select one to use.
You’ll receive an email notification once the document has been paid. Note that this doesn’t mean the payment has successfully hit your account — please check your payment app account to verify the payment has gone through.
You can check the form in your PandaDoc account to see how many times the embed has been paid.
In the folder containing all documents completed from your embed (these are created automatically and named after your embed), you’ll see all individual documents and the status of each.
