Summary

In this article you’ll learn the following about adding a payment step to a Workflow:

• Binding the results of a payment step to Attributes

• Connecting each of the possible results to a next step in the Workflow

• Step-by-step how to add a payment step

Binding payment results to Attributes

The payment produces two pieces of data, the payment result (Approved, Declined, or Canceled) and a transaction ID. You have an option to bind each of these to an Attribute so that they can be used in a conditional element in the Workflow, Dynamic Document condition or saved in a document or CRM.
For example, you could do the following:

• Create a dynamic document for the Workflow that shows one text if the payment was approved and another text if it was declined. For more information, see Create Dynamic Documents.

• You can add a field in your contract that shows the transaction ID. For more information, see Bind fields to Attributes.

Connecting payment results

There are three possible outcomes to a payment step in a Workflow: Approved, Declined, and Canceled. In order to complete the Workflow, you’ll have to connect a Workflow step for each possible outcome.
For example:

• Approved - customer is presented with a contract

• Declined - customer is presented with a list of other possible payment options

• Canceled - Workflow ends and customer is taken back to the collaboration room
