Payment Options
Once your customer gets to the checkout the customer will be asked to fill out an order form which consists of their name, address, and most importantly how they would like to pay for the order.

To configure these items you must access ‘Payment Options’ from the main configuration menu. The Payment Options will require you to fill out information about each type of payment you wish to accept. TechCart allows you to accept up to 7 payment types.

Each Payment type consists of four configuration fields each one of these is outlined here:

PAYMENT TYPE NAME: This is the name of the payment type. This is what is displayed to the customer on the order information form. Enter the appropriate name here. For example ‘Visa’.
PAYMENT TYPE: The payment type is a very important field. This field determines how TechCart handles the transaction, you are offered four options they are:
Credit Card By specifying this field TechCart will verify that all credit card data has been entered in during the finalization of order. All Orders process this way will be stored in the order download database for later retrieval.

Mail/Fax In:

 Because this sort of payment method requires the customer to manually submit the order TechCart will not verify any payment information, no email confirmation will be sent to the customer nor will the order be stored in the order download database. The only way to note customers using this method is by specifying that you would like email notification of these types of orders (covered later).

The final display when this type of payment method is selected is a customer printable order form containing the totals for the items requested.
Cash On Delivery: This type of oder is handled like a credit card order except the credit card fields are not verified for completion. The order will be stored on the system for later retrieval and a confirmation will be emailed to the customer. This method is ideal for COD, Call-Back, billed accounts and pickup orders.
i-Check Payment Systems

This option is used when you are using the i-Check third party payment processing system. You can configure your i-Check options from the Third Party Payment Systems Setup menu

NOTIFY VIA EMAL:

 This field simply asks if you would like an email notification for orders placed in this manner. This is nice to gage how your online store is progressing and what sort of payment types are being used the most, however busier sites might find the excess of email more of a burden than it is worth.

ACTIVE:

This field is important. This simply states that the payment type should or should not be used.
