Adding Items to a Basket

When a form linked to a basket is submitted it starts a workflow process and adds itself to the basket rather than directing the user to a payment provider.

Linking a Form to the Basket

To link a form that requires payment to the payment basket, drag the "Add Item Snippet" onto the final page.

Add Item Snippet

The snippet includes four fields. The fields should be kept together and the only one that needs to be edited is the start workflow action:

Snippet Fields

Edit the process variables function and add the values relevant for your payment provider (ie the payment provider that will be used to pay for the basket in the The Payment Form):
