Ecommerce Online Store - Operations - Payments
The Payment Manager is where you will create and manage your payment gateways, which allow you to accept real time credit card payments and payment methods for manually processed transactions. If you wish to use one of the payment methods supported by Network Solutions, you will need to have a separate merchant account with the company or service using the gateway.
Setting Up your Payment Methods
Credit Card Payments
To accept real-time credit card transactions, you must have a merchant account and set-up a payment gateway. Once your gateway is set-up, you can add a surcharge, a specific confirmation message, and decide whether you wish to set the gateway to "Authorize Only".
Setting up your Payment Gateway
Follow the steps below to enable a real-time payment gateway.
1. Select the desired credit card method from the drop-down menu, then select the Add button. This will take you to the Edit Payment Method page.
2. On the Edit Payment Method page, enter the required information for payment gateway. Each gateway requires different information. Please see Additional Gateway Information to learn more.
Note: Make sure to enter your Payment Gateway information EXACTLY how you received it from the payment gateway as many of these values and fields are case-sensitive.
3. You can enter a dollar or percentage surcharge if you wish, and you may designate this payment method as "Authorize Only" by selecting the checkbox.
4. Enter your custom confirmation message in the WYSIWYG editor. When Payment Gateway Enabled is checked, the storefront can accept real-time payment.
5. Once you are satisfied with your payment method, select Save or Save & Return.
Alternative Payments
Alternative and Offline Payments allow the store owner to offer checkout without a payment gateway. PayPal Express and Google Checkout send the customer off-site to complete checkout.
Note: Offline payments may store payment information collected at checkout, but no funds are transferred at the time. This feature is available in the Pro Shopping Cart only.
