Payment Setup

Screen: ShopSite > Commerce Setup > Payment

Payment Setup

Use the Payment Setup screen to select the methods of payment that you want to accept in your store and to set up online credit card processing.

Payment Methods Accepted

Select the payment types that your store is prepared to accept by clicking the check marks on or off. These payment methods will be given as options to your customers.

You can enable the Generic Payment Options to let customers use a method of payment that is not built-in to ShopSite. You configure the names and other fields for the Generic Payment Options in the Store Text > Checkout screen.

Credit Card Processing

If you have an account with a third-party processor for real-time credit card processing, select that processor from the list and click the Configure Processor button to configure your store to work with that processor.

If you do not plan to offer real-time credit card processing, leave the Processor set to manual. For the manual method, you view or download your store's orders, then validate and process credit card orders off line. You must then go back to the Orders screen and mark the orders that you have shipped.

Remember, if you plan to accept credit cards, you must have a merchant account.

CVV2 Help

CVV stands for "Card Verification Value," and it is a 3- or 4-digit number that is printed on the back of Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards, usually in the signature box (it is on the front of American Express cards). You can configure any of the payment processors to ask for or require customers to provide the CVV2 number, which can enhance fraud protection, especially for "card not present" transactions. However, many customers won’t know what CVV2 is, so you can use the fields in this section to define a link to pop-up help for this on the order form.

CVV2 Help Text	Enter the text to be used for the underlined help link on the order form.
CVV2 Help URL	Enter the URL of the CVV2 help page that will pop up when customers click the link on the order form. The default URL points to a short explanation, but you can provide your own explanation by changing this URL.
