| From the AShop Administration main menu, click Store Configuration on the left side menu. This will open the Configure AShop menu. Then select "Payment Options". If only one payment option is set, customers will skip the payment option page and go directly to the payment form when checking out. If more than one payment option is set, the payment options will be selectable by customers when checking out. There is no practical limit to the number of payment options that can be added and the same payment gateway may be used in more than one payment option with different payment option settings in each occurrence.

| Select a payment gateway or manual payment method from the drop-down box and click the Add button. A new payment option is added and displayed on the page.
|

|
| Enter the payment option settings and click the Update button for one payment option at a time.

|
| The payment Option Name will describe each payment option for customers to select when checking out. The gateway name does not appear in the customer pages so you can for instance describe AuthorizeNet as "MasterCard Visa Discover".
|
|
|
| Select a gateway or manual payment method to be applied for this payment option.
|
| Note: Most gateways require a response URL to be set in the gateway merchant control panel. See examples in AuthorizeNet and WorldPay setup topics.

|
|
| Note: To deliver digital products before the manual payment or offline credit card processing is activated, check the Deliver Before Payment box within the payment option parameters.
|
|
|
| A payment fee may be added for each payment option. The amount set here is rounded to 2 decimal places. When customers check out and select a payment option, the corresponding payment fee for that payment option will be added to the order total. If a payment fee is not set, the Payment Fee text will not even appear on the payment options page that customer see.

|
|
| The Merchant ID is assigned by the payment gateway. It is usually the same ID that is used to log into your payment gateway Merchant Control Panel and is required for payment to post transactions to your merchant account. For PayPal, it must be a verified business account primary e-mail address.

|
| The payment form can optionally include an image of your choice. This most commonly used for the store logo. Since the payment form is accessed through a secure socket layer (SSL) connection, the image URL must also be an SSL connection in order to avoid annoying warning messages. If a non-secure URL is used to link the logo image, the payment form will still work and will display the logo, but a warning message will display to customers indicating that non-secure information is being exchanged.

|
| Check this box to set the Authorize.Net WebLink payment form to test mode. The text "Test Mode" will display at the top of the payment form and e-mail receipts. When the payment form is in test mode, payments will not post to your merchant account, but the payment receipt will still function. If you have the Authorize.Net Address Verification System (AVS) turned on in your Authorize.Net merchant panel, it will not verify addresses while the payment form is in test mode.
|
| To run test transactions for AuthorizeNet, enter the following credit card number and any future date: 4007 0000 000 27
|
| The personal information and address can be anything since it will not be verified, but in order to test the e-mail receipt function, you must enter a valid e-mail address.
|
| After editing the Authorize.Net fields, click the "Submit" button to save the changes. To cancel without saving changes, click the "Cancel" button or page back on your browser.

|
| The payment option description will appear below the option name within the customer checkout Payment Options selection page.
|
|
|
| When a manual payment option is selected during checkout, customers are directed to the order form page to enter their name and contact information. This text will appear on the order form page above the form.
|
|
|
| Upon receipt of the order, customers are redirected to the confirmation page. You can include your own personalized thank you message and ordering instructions to appear on this page. When each payment option is added, the Thank you message is populated with a canned message. The canned message will include the contact information that was set within Shop Parameters. This field may contain HTML formatting.
|
| Note: The download product buttons may not appear on the confirmation page, depending on whether downloadable products were ordered or if the payment option is manual. For instance, if the manual payment option is selected and payment is to be mail in the form of a check, the download product buttons will not appear. In this case, the customer will not have access to the product file until payment is received and the order is activated. When the order is activated, an e-mail message is sent to the customer with a link to the delivery page and a password to download the digital product(s)

| This feature adds another layer of security for PayPal transactions. When the Secure IPN box is checked, the program calls PayPal's IPN service through SSL using a program called Curl that often is available on Linux servers. To use this option Curl must be available and must be compiled with support for SSL. If this feature is selected, but not supported on the server, transactions are processed without IPN SSL and a warning message is sent to the administrator's e-mail address. To stop the Curl warning messages, either get your hosting service to recompile PHP with Curl SSL enabled or uncheck the Secure IPN check box.
