All successful payments are captured in the HitPay dashboard under Sales and Reports > Transactions.

- get amount from responses should be selected if it is a dynamic amount form and Fixed amount should be selected if it is a fixed amount form
- only use dropdown or multiple choice for payment options if Get amount from Responses is chosen to ensure that the plugin will work
- ensure to enter the correct currency symbol for your chosen currency
