Category: Accept.Blue

The Formidable Forms accept.blue payment gateway connects accept.blue’s payment processing directly into Formidable Forms — so card payments, subscriptions, installment plans, Google Pay, ACH, and refunds are all handled natively inside WordPress, with no third-party checkout redirect. One-time purchase: $79 USD, includes the plugin, license key, and update access.

If you build forms with Formidable Forms, you already know it can do almost anything: registrations, donations, applications, bookings. The one piece that traditionally meant bolting on a Stripe redirect or a clunky iframe that doesn’t match your form’s design — this plugin eliminates that entirely.

Why Use the Formidable Forms accept.blue Payment Gateway?

Most payment plugins for Formidable Forms either redirect your visitor to a third-party checkout page or rely on a generic Stripe integration. The accept.blue gateway keeps everything inside your form, inside WordPress — with full support for cards, digital wallets, bank transfers, and recurring billing, for a single one-time payment of $79 USD.

The Formidable Forms accept.blue payment gateway is the only accept.blue integration built natively for Formidable — not a workaround, not a Zapier bridge. If you already use the accept.blue WooCommerce payment gateway, this is the Formidable-native companion plugin.

Card Data Never Touches Your Server

At the core of the Formidable Forms accept.blue payment gateway is a Hosted Tokenization iFrame. Cardholders enter their details inside an iframe hosted by accept.blue, embedded right in your Formidable form. Raw card numbers never pass through your server, which significantly cuts down your PCI DSS scope — one less compliance headache for site owners and developers alike.

On top of that, you get:

• One-time charges — fixed or dynamic amounts on form submission
• Authorize-only mode — place a hold on a card, then capture or adjust the capture later from the admin panel
• 3-D Secure 2 (3DS2) — optional EMV 3DS2 browser-based authentication per form action, adding liability-shift protection for card-not-present transactions

Digital Wallets and ACH/eCheck Support

Cards aren’t the only way people want to pay. The plugin also supports:

• Google Pay — let customers check out with a single tap using the payment method already saved on their device, no manual card entry required
• ACH/eCheck — accept direct bank transfers, often at a lower processing cost than card transactions, ideal for larger payments, tuition, or recurring dues where customers prefer paying straight from their bank account

Both payment methods run through the same Formidable form flow as card payments, so there’s no separate setup for your visitors — they simply pick how they want to pay.

Recurring Billing and Installment Plans, Built In

Not every form is a one-time payment. The plugin supports:

• Recurring subscriptions at daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, or annual intervals — schedules are created in accept.blue and linked directly to the Formidable entry
• Installment plans that split a total into a fixed number of automatic payments — ideal for tuition, deposits, or membership payment plans

Full Control Over Refunds, Voids, and Captures

You don’t need to log into a separate payment dashboard to manage transactions. From the Formidable Forms payment detail page you can:

• Issue full or partial refunds
• Void an unsettled authorization before it captures
• Capture or adjust-capture a prior authorization at the original or an adjusted amount

A Real Admin Transactions Panel

The plugin adds a dedicated WordPress admin screen that lists every accept.blue transaction tied to your Formidable entries. Filter by date range, status, and form. Revenue summary stats appear at the top. One-click sync pulls the latest status from accept.blue, and CSV export handles accounting and reconciliation.

Real-Time Updates via Webhooks

The plugin includes a signed REST API webhook endpoint. It listens for payment lifecycle events from accept.blue — charges, settlements, refunds, and subscription updates — then automatically syncs your WordPress transaction records. Signature verification ensures only legitimate accept.blue payloads are processed.

Fraud Shield Included

Built-in fraud controls help you catch bad transactions before they become chargebacks:

• IP velocity limits
• Email velocity limits
• BIN block-lists
• Country block-lists
• Minimum/maximum amount thresholds

Built for Developers Too

If you’re customizing things further, the plugin ships with a dedicated debug log (toggle-gated, no code changes needed) plus actions and filters throughout — for customizing charge arguments, modifying subscription parameters, extending the transactions panel, and hooking into payment events.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Formidable Forms accept.blue payment gateway cost?

The plugin is a one-time purchase of $79 USD. That covers the plugin itself, your license key, and update access — there’s no recurring subscription fee to use it.

Do I need an accept.blue account to use this plugin?

Yes. The plugin connects Formidable Forms to your own active accept.blue merchant account. accept.blue handles the actual card processing, tokenization, and settlement; the plugin handles the WordPress-side integration.

Is this compatible with Formidable Forms Free or do I need Pro?

The plugin works with both Formidable Forms Free and Formidable Forms Pro. Some advanced Formidable features you might combine it with, like conditional logic or multi-page forms, may require Formidable Pro on their own, but the payment gateway itself does not require it.

What do I need installed before setting this up?

You’ll need WordPress 5.8 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer, Formidable Forms (Free or Pro), and an active accept.blue merchant account. Once those are in place, setup is a matter of installing the plugin, entering your accept.blue API credentials, and adding the payment action to your form.

Is it safe to collect card payments through a Formidable form with this plugin?

Card data is entered inside a Hosted Tokenization iFrame served by accept.blue, so raw card numbers never pass through your server or database, which reduces your PCI DSS scope. The plugin also supports optional 3-D Secure 2 authentication and includes built-in fraud controls such as IP and email velocity limits, BIN and country block-lists, and amount thresholds.

Can I use this for recurring payments, not just one-time charges?

Yes. Beyond one-time charges and authorize-only holds, the plugin supports recurring subscriptions on daily through annual intervals, as well as installment plans that split a total into a fixed number of automatic payments.
