Build an HTML form based on the response parameters

Use the response parameters to construct and show the following form to your customer:

<form id="payment-form" action="https://pay.method-name.com" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="get">
  <input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="&#x2713;" />
  <input type="hidden" name="sid" id="sid" value="185737d3d7f665641ab339ea38dc06bc" />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Pay">
</form>

Pay attention that there are no input elements in the response for submitting form (<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Pay">). You need to add this input by yourself according to design and language preferences of your site.
