How can I count payments? I'd like to make a view with the info from the payments section of the Formidable backend.

Not sure what you mean. Formidable stats count can count the number of entries by any field and then filter that out further based on another field. If you have something setup that changes the value of a "status" field from something like "not paid" to "paid", you can count that like this:

[frm-stats id=25 type=count 25="paid"]

Thanks, Bobby. I Sorry I wasn't more clear. I'm trying to count both the number of times a field is mark paid, and also count the number of payments a Stripe subscription has been paid.

Hi Michael,   Depends what type of payments you want to count but we set-up a 'Payment Counter' field for a client who was using Stripe Recurring payments as they wanted to see how many months a user had been a member for.   We added a hidden field to the form and then in the Stripe form action > Payment Status > Completed we selected our Payment Counter and added this:   
[frm-math] [322] + 1 [/frm-math]
  Change 322 to the payment statuus field and it will increment by 1 for each successful payment.   Hope that helps.

Thanks, Chris. I do indeed need to count the number of Stripe recurring payments per subscription, as well as the total number of total payments made, in general: "There have been a hundred single payments, a thousand recurring payments, and this entry has logged 10 recurring payments.."

Your solution will indeed get me pointed in the right direction.

Chris: I have a Payment Status field, radio button, values: Unpaid, Paid. Do you mean, if that field is field [10] then the math would be [frm-math] [10] + 1 [/frm-math]?

Hi Michael,

Yeah so we created an extra 'Payment Counter' field (field ID 10 in this example) which is just a regular hidden (text) field and then in the Stripe form action in the 'After Payment' section we selected:

- 'Complete' in the payment status column,
- Our Payment Counter Field in the field column
- And then in the value column we entered: [frm-math] [10] + 1 [/frm-math] (where

That should be about it.

Hi Chris,

I've tried your suggestion and there's no count happening. Created a new form, put the Stripe integration in test mode, ran a few test transaction, all green except for the math. Nothing stirring. Nothing in the logs, either. Bummer.

Hi Michael,

That's weird, it works ok for the site we set it up on.

I've taken a couple of screenshots (links below) of how we have it set-up:
