What it does
Many sites already use Ninja Forms to collect orders, registrations or invoice payments, but taking the actual payment often means sending visitors off to another page. This extension keeps the whole process inside the form. It requires Ninja Forms and connects your forms to an Elavon merchant account, so card payments go through Elavon while the customer stays on your WordPress site from start to finish.
Setup follows a short path: you create an Elavon account, add an Elavon payment action to the form, then map your form fields to the gateway fields. Along with card details, you can pass customer information such as name, address, invoice numbers and transaction details to Elavon. Forms are responsive, so payments work on phones and tablets as well as desktops.
Best for
- Businesses with an Elavon merchant account
- Sites already built around Ninja Forms
- Service providers collecting invoice payments through forms

Questions about Elavon Payment Gateway
Do I need Ninja Forms to use this plugin?
Yes. This is an extension for Ninja Forms, so the Ninja Forms plugin must be active on your site. It adds an Elavon payment action to your existing forms rather than working as a standalone form builder.
Will customers be redirected to another site to pay?
No. Card details are entered directly in your form, and the payment is processed through Elavon while the customer stays on your WordPress site. This keeps the checkout inside the same page as the rest of the form.
What information can I send to Elavon besides card details?
You can map form fields to Elavon's gateway fields to pass customer metadata such as name, address, invoice numbers and transaction details. Mapping is done with drag and drop, so you choose which form fields feed each gateway field.
What do I need to get started?
You need an Elavon merchant account. From there, you add an Elavon payment action to your Ninja Forms form and map your form fields to the matching Elavon fields.
