In [Paymattic](/), the **Payment Summary**field allows users to view a summary of their total payments based on the selected items or products and you can use it in any [Payment Form](/docs/how-to-create-your-first-payment-form-in-a-minute-and-accept-payments-with-paymattic/).

This article will guide you on how to embed the **Payment Summary** field to the WordPress Site through Paymattic.

## Adding Payment Summary Field #

To learn how to add the **Payment Summary** field to the Paymattic Form on your WordPress site, follow the steps with the screenshots below –

First, go to the **All Forms**section from the **Pymattic Navbar,**choosea**Form,**and click the **Pencil/Edit** icon to open the **Editor** page of that form.

If you do not have any existing forms, read this [Create a Form from Scratch](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tg7v6UFVUGX1UNwyztziuV4Al9srPSOnjO2aSiq0BDI/edit) or [Create a Form using Templates](/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation to create one.

For example, I choose an existing form to show the whole process.

Once you open the **Editor** page, add the **Payment Summary**fields by typing the**“ / ”**or clicking the **Plus Icon** placed at the bottom.

We always suggest you keep the [**Name**](/docs/how-to-use-general-form-input-fields-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/#5-toc-title) and [**Email**](/docs/how-to-use-general-form-input-fields-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/#6-toc-title) field at the beginning of any Form.

For example, I choose the **Pluc Icon**option to select the **Payment Summary**field under the **Donation & Product Fields** section from the**Choose Form Field**page.

Also, don’t forget to add a [Payment Item Field](/docs/how-to-add-payment-item-fields-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/) for making the **Payment Summary**field functional and a [Payment Method Field](/docs/how-to-use-the-payment-method-fields-section/) for collecting payments.
