Payment form

This bundle ships with a form type that automatically renders a choice (radio button, select) so that the user can choose their preferred payment method.

Additionally, each payment plugin you have installed, includes a specific form that is also rendered. This form is dependent on the payment method itself, different methods will have different forms.

As an example, if you have both the PayPal and Paymill plugins installed, both their forms will be rendered. In PayPal?s case, the form is empty (since the user does not enter any information on your site) but for Paymill a Credit Card form is rendered.

Tip: See the Accepting payments guide for detailed instructions on how to integrate the form in your application, namely how to handle form submission.

Creating the form

When creating the form you need to specify at least the amount and currency options. See below for all the available options.

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'   => '10.42',
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);

If your Symfony version is earlier than 3.0, you must refer to the form by its alias instead of using the class directly:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

$form = $this->createForm('jms_choose_payment_method', null, [
    'amount'   => '10.42',
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);
Note:

Changing how the form looks

If you need to change how the form looks, you can use form theming, which allows you to customize how each element of the form is rendered. Our theme will be implemented in a separate Twig file, which we will then reference from the template where the form is rendered.

Tip: See the form component?s documentation for more information about form theming

Start by creating an empty theme file:

{# templates/Orders/theme.html.twig #}

{% extends 'form_div_layout.html.twig' %}
Note: We?re extending Symfony?s default form_div_layout.html.twig theme. If your application is setup to use another theme, you probably want to extend that one instead.

And then reference it from the template where the form is rendered:

{# templates/Orders/show.html.twig #}

{% form_theme form 'Orders\theme.html.twig' %}

{{ form_start(form) }}
    {{ form_widget(form) }}
    <input type="submit" value="Pay ? {{ order.amount }}" />
{{ form_end(form) }}

Hiding the payment method radio button

When the form only has one available payment method (either because only one payment plugin is installed or because you used the allowed_methods option) you likely want to hide the payment method radio button completely. You can do so as follows:

{# templates/Orders/theme.html.twig #}

{# Don't render the radio button's label #}
{% block _jms_choose_payment_method_method_label %}
{% endblock %}

{# Hide each entry in the radio button #}
{% block _jms_choose_payment_method_method_widget %}
    <div style="display: none;">
        {{ parent() }}
    </div>
{% endblock %}
Tip: If you hide the radio button, you will want to use the default_method option to automatically select the payment method.

Available options

amount

Mandatory

The amount (i.e. total price) of the payment.

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'   => '10.42',
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);

You might want to add extra costs for a specific payment method. You can implement this by passing a closure instead of a static value:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Entity\ExtendedData;
use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$amount = '10.42';

$amountClosure = function ($currency, $paymentSystemName, ExtendedData $data) use ($amount) {
    if ($paymentSystemName === 'paypal_express_checkout') {
        return $amount * 1.05;
    }

    return $amount;
};

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'   => $amountClosure,
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);

currency

Mandatory

The three-letter currency code, i.e. EUR or USD.

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'   => '10.42',
    'currency' => 'EUR',
]);

predefined_data

Optional

Default: []

The payment plugins likely require you to provide additional configuration in order to create a payment. You can do this by passing an array to the predefined_data option of the form.

As an example, if we would be using the Stripe plugin, we would need to provide a description, which would look like the following:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$predefinedData = [
    'stripe_checkout' => [
        'description' => 'My product',
    ],
];

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'          => '10.42',
    'currency'        => 'EUR',
    'predefined_data' => $predefinedData,
]);

If you would be using multiple payment backends, the $predefinedData array would have an entry for each of the methods:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

$predefinedData = [
    'paypal_express_checkout' => [...],
    'stripe_checkout'         => [...],
];

allowed_methods

Optional

Default: []

In case you wish to constrain the methods presented to the user, use the allowed_methods option:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'          => '10.42',
    'currency'        => 'EUR',
    'allowed_methods' => ['paypal_express_checkout']
]);

default_method

Optional

Default: null

By default, no payment method is selected in the radio button, which means users must select one themselves. This is the case even if you only have one payment method available.

If you wish to set a default payment method, you can use the default_method option:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'          => '10.42',
    'currency'        => 'EUR',
    'default_method'  => 'paypal_express_checkout',
]);

choice_options

Optional

Default: []

Pass options to the payment method choice type. See the ChoiceType refererence for all available options.

For example, to display a select instead of a radio button, set the expanded option to false:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'         => '10.42',
    'currency'       => 'EUR',
    'choice_options' => [
        'expanded' => false,
    ],
]);

method_options

Optional

Default: []

Pass options to each payment method?s form type. For example, to hide the main label of the PayPal Express Checkout form, set the label option to false:

// src/App/Controller/OrdersController.php

use JMS\Payment\CoreBundle\Form\ChoosePaymentMethodType;

$form = $this->createForm(ChoosePaymentMethodType::class, null, [
    'amount'         => '10.42',
    'currency'       => 'EUR',
    'method_options' => [
        'paypal_express_checkout' => [
            'label' => false,
        ],
    ],
]);
