And I have a couple of options

Number one to require terms and conditions and you can paste a hyperlink directly in here or you can paste text directly into this box and it’ll show up on your payment form.

Then you can request that the payer provide a company a phone number and if you’d like to include your tagline on the payment form you’ll check this box

So the invoice number is copied over as well as the item and description and obviously the dollar amount.

The terms and conditions are hyperlinked here so if you click on it, it opens in a new window and will show the web URL address that holds your terms and conditions for your website right here

The your customer just needs to click pay now and they can fill all this information out and click submit payment
