Automatic Credit Card Processing
AmeriCommerce integrates with Payment Gateways such as Authorize.Net to provide real-time authorization and charging of credit cards. This is the preferred method of accepting payments online.
To enable a Payment Gateway, click Global Settings > Payment Gateways, select your Payment Gateway, then click Edit. Supply your Payment Gateway's login information, click Save Gateway Settings, then click Enable Gateway at the top.
For more information on enabling Payment Gateways, view the Payment Gateways topic.
Manual Credit Card Processing
If you do not plan to use automatic credit card processing, simply do not enable a Payment Gateway, and you will be able to view and print the order's credit card information from the View Order page, which you can then enter into your merchant terminal for approval, then you can manually set the order status using the View Order or Order List page.
To enable displaying credit card information for a User Account, click Global Settings > User Accounts. Set the User Group to Customer Service or higher, then select Yes for View Credit Card Numbers.
PayPal
To enable PayPal payments, you will first need a PayPal seller's account. Visit PayPal.com to create a seller account.
Next, click Global Settings > Payment Gateways and check Enable PayPal and then click Update. This will open the PayPal settings page.
From here, specify your Seller's Email Address and click Save PayPal Settings and you are done.
