Integrating External Payment Processors

In GlideCampaign, you can integrate external payment processors by either using a hosted payment page or by building a custom HTML form.
This is an advanced setup — it requires knowledge of JavaScript, NodeJS, and working with APIs.
If you are a beginner with no coding experience, we recommend getting help from a developer.

1: Choose Your Integration Method #

You have two options:

• Hosted Payment Page
  Redirect customers to a third-party checkout page.
  
• Custom HTML Form
  Build your own form to collect payment information and send it directly to the processor.
  

2: Important Security Note #

• GlideCampaign’s native credit/debit card field only works with our built-in gateways.
  
• You cannot use a regular number field to collect card data — it would be visible in the platform’s backend, which is a security risk.
  
• If building your own form, you must:
  
  • Create an HTML form.
    
  • Use JavaScript to send (webhook) the payment details securely to your external processor.
    

3: Setting Up a Hosted Payment Page #

If you choose a hosted page, the customer flow will look like this:

Sales Page → Third-Party Hosted Payment Page → Thank You Page

After payment:

• Pass the customer’s information back to GlideCampaign using our Form API.
  
• You can easily build a form with the customer fields you want to collect.
  
• Send the data in JSON format using the auto-generated Form API documentation (available inside GlideCampaign).
  
• Full API documentation: www.myapidocs.io
  

4: Setting Up a Custom HTML Form #

If you choose to create a form yourself:

• Embed the third-party processor’s checkout fields or embeddable form inside your sales page.
  
• Collect fields like:
  
  • Card number
    
  • Expiration date
    
  • CVV
    
• Then use JavaScript to send the collected data to the payment processor, following their API guidelines.
  

The customer flow for this setup:

Sales Page → Custom Order Form (with third-party fields) → Thank You Page

After payment:

• Just like the hosted page method, pass the customer’s information back to GlideCampaign using the Form API.
