Transaction Settings

Order Transaction Type Select whether to process payments as Authorization or Sale transactions:
  • Authorization - Select this option if you will need time to prepare your products for shipment. PayFlow will check for available funds and place a hold on the payment ammount. Once your products are ready to be shipped, you can go to the ShopSite Orders screen and click Bill Orders to capture the funds to your merchant account.
  • Sale - Select this option if your products can be delivered as soon as the order is completed, such as for Digital Download products. PayFlow will check for available funds and capture them when the order is placed.
Billing Transaction Type Select how to bill orders if you are using the Authorization transaction method (above). The Delayed Capture transaction type will capture funds when you click the Bill Orders button on the Orders screen.

Fill in the proper values and click Save and Enable.
