Markets Online shopping cart software has a number of built-in common payment methods. You need to define which of these payment methods your customers will be able to use when making orders at your stall. If you are planning to enable your customers to pay for their orders online, you need to set up some payment gateways: credit card processors (if you are going to use Credit Card payment method), cheque processors (if you are going to use Pay by Cheque payment method) and/or payment systems (PayPal).

Markets Online 'Payment methods' section allows you to activate the necessary payment methods and to set up the necessary payment gateways. It can be accessed by clicking on Payment methods in the Administration menu.


Payment methods

To activate the payment methods you want to make available in your stall:

1. Click on Payment methods in the Inventory menu. The 'Payment methods' form will
appear.

2. Select the Active check boxes next to the methods you want to be available to your customers.

3. If necessary, add special instructions for each of the selected payment methods (SPECIAL

They can be used to pass along important information (E.g.: "Make cheques payable to..." ).

4. Define the order in which the payment methods will be displayed to your customer by entering
the appropriate position numbers.

5. Click on Update. To disable a payment method, unselect the check box next to its name in the list and click on Update.

6. If you have selected Credit Card, Electronic Fund Transfer or Paypal as a payment method, click the Configure link next to the name of the method in the 'Payment methods' form.

7. Fill in the 'Settings' form for the chosen payment gateway using the information received when
you got your Internet merchant account or Paypal account registered. Click on Update.
