  • eCheck - This option is only available to merchants using a payment processor which supports eChecks.

The account information will then be sent to the processor to validate, and funds will be captured to your merchant account.

  • Generic Payment Options - You may configure ShopSite to accept payments from one or two non-integrated payment methods. For example, if you wanted to provide a line of store credit, you could use these fields to prompt for the customer's name and store credit account number (to be handled offline).

    Check the boxes for the customizeable fields you want to use, then go to Preferences > Store Text > Checkout to configure the text the customer sees for these options. ShopSite will not automatically process these transactions.

    Any store text fields you do not want to show up on the checkout screen will need to be cleared. You can mask the data from the shopper on their receipt by setting the checkbox next to the desired field. Note: Masking the data using the checkboxes will not mask the fields on the checkout screen, only on he receipt.

Human Validation

If you are having trouble with bots (automatic scripts) testing stolen credit card numbers on your site, you can use this feature to verify that the form is being completed by a real, human customer. Based on your settings, ShopSite can create an image with random numbers in it. The customer will be required to enter those numbers into the form to continue the checkout process. Because of the way the image is generated, bots are unable to read the numbers, and therefore are unable to test the stolen credit cards using your shopping cart.
Display Image Select the radio button for the option you want:
  • Off - never display a human validation image.
  • Always On - always display a human validation image.
  • On, but only after the number of failed attempts has been reached - Specify a Failed Attempts Limit. If a customer submits bad payment information the specified number of times, ShopSite will display a human validation image for any further attempts to submit payment information by that customer.
