Payment Methods Accepted
Use this section to configure what sources of funds you are willing to accept payments from. In order to accept payments using any method, you must have a merchant account or account with the individual service which allows you to process the payments. You may want to configure a real-time payment gateway before deciding what payment methods you will accept.

- Purchase Order - Customers will be prompted to enter a purchase order number on the Checkout screen. You must have an account that allows you to accept purchase orders, and ShopSite will not automatically verify or process these transactions.
- C.O.D. - Customers who select Cash On Delivery will not be prompted to enter any payment information on the Checkout screen. If you wish to accept Cash On Delivery payments, you must use a service that allows this option. ShopSite will not automatically process Cash On Delivery transactions.
- Check - Customers who select to pay using a Check will be prompted to enter their bank account and routing number on the Checkout Screen. You may then manually process the payment as an electronic check. ShopSite will not automatically verify or process Check payments.
- 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; ShopSite will not automatically process these transactions.).
Check the box(es) for the Generic Payment Options (1 and/or 2) you wish to use. Up to four fields can be used to collect customer information. You can configure the names of the payment options and the names of the fields on Preferences > Store Text > Checkout Changes made to the names will be reflected on the Payment Options page. You can mask or hide some of the data entered in these fields on the customer's receipt by setting the checkbox next to the desired fields. Any fields that will not be used to gather customer information will need to be cleared. This means that if you only plan to use the first two fields of Generic Payment Option 1, you will need to clear the text from "Generic Payment Option 1 Field 3" and "Generic Payment Option 1 Field 4".
The 4 check boxes below each Generic Payment Option are used to indicate which of the 4 possible data fields for that payment method will be masked on the Thank You screen and email receipts. This allows you to mask critical information such as an account number or special code so they won't be visible on the receipt. If the box is not checked the data from the field will be visible on receipts.
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.
- 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.
- Basic - Basic CAPTCHA uses a simple crosshatch over the passphrase. Here's an example:
- Advanced - Advanced CAPTCHA uses an unlevel text with distracting decorations. Here's an example:
- reCAPTCHA (by Google) - reCAPTCHA uses a combination of unlevel text and an image of additional text that it hasn't identified yet. The user inputs both entries separated by a space. It also has controls to get new challenges. Here's an example:
