    To create a payment form:

    1. Go to **Payment Gateway Dashboard** > **Payment Forms** > click **Create Payment Form**.
    2. In the **Payment For** field, explain the purpose of payment to the customer. Keep this text short and precise. This information is necessary for customers to understand the purpose of payment.

    4. Personalise the URL to include your brand name for easy identification.
    5. Specify the payment form validity time. (Validity time supported: 1, 2, 7, 14, 30 days, or set as No Expiry to keep it active always).

    **Add Payment Details**
    **Add Customer Details**
    **Add Business Details**

    Save and create the payment form. The payment form created will be active to collect payments. Share the payment form URL with your customers and start collecting payments instantly.

    All the payment forms created will be visible in the **Payment Forms** screen. You can edit, cancel, activate a cancelled payment form, and also share the payment form details with your customers after you create it. You can see and track the payment statuses in the **Orders** section.

  <Accordion title="How do I know when a payment is made via a Payment Form?" onClick={() => posthog.capture('Accordion Clicked', { title: "How do I know when a payment is made via a Payment Form?" })}>
    You will be notified about the payments made using the payment form via webhooks.

    2. Select **Webhooks** in the **Payment Gateway** section.
    3. Click **Add Webhook URL** and select the event you want to be notified about.
    4. Enter the URL where you want to receive the webhook notifications, and click **Add**.

    You will start to receive webhook event notifications on the URLs you have specified. You can use one URL to handle several different event types at once or specify individual URLs for specific events.

  <Accordion title="Can I use the same Payment Form for multiple products or services?" onClick={() => posthog.capture('Accordion Clicked', { title: "Can I use the same Payment Form for multiple products or services?" })}>
    Yes, the same form can be set up to take in different product information and pricing. The customer can select and pay for the product/service he/she is interested in.

  <Accordion title="I am using a hosted payment form and cannot call the Create Order API directly. How do I pass custom fields for reconciliation?" onClick={() => posthog.capture('Accordion Clicked', { title: "I am using a hosted payment form and cannot call the Create Order API directly. How do I pass custom fields for reconciliation?" })}>
    Collect the custom fields your reconciliation needs on your own page before the customer reaches the hosted payment form—for example institute code, roll number, or division for education and multi-institute fees, or other identifiers such as branch, campaign, or invoice reference. Submit those values to your backend, create the order server-side using the [Create Order API](/api-reference/payments/latest/orders/create) with the fields mapped into `order_tags`, and then redirect the customer to the Cashfree payment session using the returned `payment_session_id`. This ensures the tags are always set correctly and will appear in the Settlement Recon Report.
