Now that the Qualpay plugin has been installed and configured with Gravity Forms and WordPress, you can set up Qualpay’s Recurring Billing engine to manage all of your business’ scheduled billing needs. The below steps will walk you through the set-up process.

If you are processing recurring payments, the API keys for the following products must be enabled:
- Payment Gateway API

Configuring your form
After installing and configuring the Qualpay plugin, you will build a form for your payment page. This is done by using the Pricing fields to create and manage available purchase selections, and the Credit Card field that allows Customers to enter their credit card information on the form. To get started, follow the below steps.
1. Log into the WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Click on New Form under the Forms navigation in your WordPress admin dashboard.
3. Click on Add New.
4. Assign a Title to your form. Click Create Form.
5. Add all mandatory Payment Fields for capturing standard transaction information, such as Name and Email, into the form. You can additionally add any available Optional Fields at this point.
6. Add the mandatory Pricing Fields (Product, Credit Card, and Total) to your form, and configure them to suit your needs.
7. Save your form by clicking Update.
8. Optionally, you can add a separate Product field to configure a Set-Up fee for your plan if needed.
9. Save your form by clicking Update.
Once the form has been updated successfully, you will next set up the data feeds that will link the form to your Qualpay account.
Setup Qualpay Feeds
Now that you have activated the Qualpay plugin, configured Gravity Forms, and created a form to interact with Qualpay, it is time to bring it all together. Next, you will configure the form’s data feed to integrate with Qualpay.
1. Log into the WordPress admin dashboard.
2. Click Settings -> Qualpay to access the plugin Form Settings page.
3. Select the form you will integrate with Qualpay.
4. Choose the Environment where you will host the form. Select Sandbox to host the form on Qualpay’s sandbox for testing, or select Production to host the form in the live production environment.
Note: You will see the option to toggle between Sandbox and Production environments only if you have added your Production Merchant ID and Production API Security Key.
5. Click Let’s go create one to add a new Qualpay Feed.
6. Enter a unique Name for the new Qualpay feed to distinguish between multiple active Qualpay feeds if utilized.
7. Select Subscription from the Payment Type drop-down menu.
8. You can also add a Plan Type to the Subscription. The Plan Type can be either a One-Off or Existing Plan.

10. Add a Plan Frequency for your Subscription. You can choose from Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, BiAnnually, or Annually.
11. Add a Plan Duration. Plan Duration is the number of billing cycles in the recurring transaction; Use -1 if a billing cycle is indefinite.
12. Click Update Settings to save the Qualpay Feed.
Embedding A Form
Once you are ready to publish your form, it must first be embedded in a page. Follow the below steps to embed your form.
