Administering payment systems

To get to the payment-system configuration settings:

Note: Merchants can use the Business Center to temporarily make one or more payment systems inactive.

When a payment system is inactive, the payment methods that use the payment system are no longer available on the payment page when ordering.

Click the name of the payment system you wish to configure.

You can perform the following actions when editing a payment system:


Action	Description
Enable or disable the payment system	Use the Is active list to enable (Yes) or disable (No) the payment system.
Assign an agreement number	Usually, you must have an account number with the payment provider. Enter this number into the Agreement Number field.
Use an external payment system	If the payment system is running as a local application (which probably communicates with a provider), then set Is External to No. If the payment system must be contacted directly over the Internet, set it to Yes.
Set the capture time	If payment is captured at the same time that it is authorized, then set Has Immediate Capture to Yes. If you must establish a separate system for capturing payment (for example, at delivery time), set it to No.
Set the URL for the merchant accoun	If you are using an external payment system, you probably need to specify the URL for submitting authorization requests to the payment provider. Enter this into the URL Merchant Account field.
Set the URL to load when authorization succeeds	Many payment systems require that you include with each authorization request the URL to which to send the response when the authorization succeeds. Enter this into the URL Valid field.
Set the URL to load when authorization fails	Many payment systems require that you include with each authorization request the URL to which to send the response when the authorization fails. Enter this into the URL Invalid field.
