Payment provider settings
When you click on the payment providers list you
will see a list of integrated payment processors. In the example
below we have provided the links to our online help files as well
as a short Glossary of Terms. The
numbers next to each payment provider refer to the order they are
listed on checkout in your store.
Email
The Email Notification option will send an email to the store
owner and the purchaser with the details of an order. It will
not contain credit card details and is mainly used for payment
methods such as paying by check, mail order, COD etc. where
the seller would contact the buyer after receiving the order.
It is possible to rename the email option so it reflects the
use it is being put to. Email 2 is used for the same purpose
if you need to differentiate between the two. There is a also
a third email option that can be set up using the Custom method.
Capture
Card
The capture card method is used for processing credit cards offline. If you
decide to use this option do take on board the serious responsibility
of
storing
sensitive credit card details and do follow all the security measures
put in place. For the ASP version you will need the component ASPencrypt installed
on the server, for PHP it Mcrypt is required. You will also need a SSL certificate.

Custom
This option is used for those payment providers not integrated
directly into the inccart file but are available as plug-ins.
So if you are using payment processors such as Protx, USAepay,
Ogone, eway, Paymate, Moneris, Barclays EPDQ etc. you can download
the files from here and
follow the instructions from the relevant help pages. If the
payment provider you want to use is not listed on our site then
it may still be possible to integrate them. The two files that
have been made available for this purpose are called customppsend
and customppreturn and are located in the vsadmin/inc/ folder.
Some set ups can be quite tricky so it may be the case that you
will need to get a developer in to set up the integration for
you.
Glossary
of terms
- Authorize Capture / Authorize Only
Authorize Capture credits your account with funds taken
from the cardholders account. Authorize Only will just check the
cardholder's account to see if sufficient funds are available. Then,
at some time
later you can go to your payment provider admin panel and "Capture" these
funds. This can be useful as in some areas you can't legally take money
from someone's account until you have physically shipped the goods.
- Login Level
It is possible to restrict the use of payment methods by choosing
a login level in conjunction with the Customer
Login feature.
Only logged in buyers will be able purchase using this restricted
method.
- Demo Mode
For testing most payment providers there is the option of putting
the account into demo mode. This is highly recommended to make
sure the store is fully operational before taking live orders.
