- For the most professional look, it is suggested that you create a Header Image File (png, gif, or jpg) and upload it using the Insert/Edit Image button in the editor. Using the same header image on both the CP Online Form™ Receipt and Header is a good technique for a professional look. If you leave it blank, no header will be displayed.
- Footer: The CP Online Form™ Footer can be customized with whatever info you want. The footer is typically where you would place your company guarantees, return/cancellation policies, etc.
- If you do use a link, be sure to instruct the link to open in a new window so the customer does not leave the form when they click it. Like the header, you can use an image file or leave it blank.

Step 10: Results
Once the customer submits the CP Online Form™, it will return a result. In most circumstances you want the customer to be redirected to a "receipt" or "thank you" page. However, you may have the need to redirect the results to your own page/script. For example, if you have a script that creates a new member account on your own website, you would want to redirect to that URL.
Besides sending the customer to a results page, the CP Online Form™ can email them a receipt. Use the two editors below to customize both the Default Receipt Page and the Email Receipt Header and Footer.
- Default Receipt - Once a customer submits the form, they will be redirected to the Default Receipt Page.
- Custom Results Page - Select this option if you need to redirect a customer to another page or script. Enter the CP Online Form™ Custom Results URL. If you are using a custom URL, you will need to download the Auto-Debit System® API Manual for a list of result variables that can be passed to the custom URL. If you are not sure what to do, leave by DEFAULT.
