Page: Settings >> Delivery and payment >> Payment methods
Various payment methods are available that you can offer your customers. There are internal methods available as well as offerings of external vendors.
The types are provided by the system for the internal methods. All processes must be manually confirmed by you. The internal types are:

 
Free
No other costs are charged to the customer when this method is used.
 
Fixed price
You define the additional amount that the customer should pay when using this payment method.
 
Exemption limit
You define the additional amount that the customer should pay when using this payment method. In addition, you define a limit value (Limit) above which the customer must pay an order.
 
Direct debit
No other costs are charged to the customer when this method is used.
This type makes sure that the customer's bank details are requested during the ordering process in the shop. The information entered is tested for completeness but not accuracy. No test is carried out for the existence of the account entered or the presence of sufficient funds.
 
Direct debit via fax
No other costs are charged to the customer when this method is used.
The customer downloads a fax form during the order process that he uses to send his bank details.
 
Credit card
Use this method if you would like to offer your customers credit card payment and to edit the data manually.

For the external payment methods, the transactions will be performed on the platforms of the external providers. These are providers such as PayPal or Moneybookers. The customer will be sent to vendor’s system for the payment process where all necessary data will be gathered, checked, and processed. Afterwards, the customer is returned to the shop. The corresponding orders can be organized by transaction numbers. There is a transaction list for every provider that you can see under Orders.
Set the payment method as the default that is used most often by your customers.
Each payment method can be assigned to customer groups. This means that only those customers that belong to an assigned customer group can use this payment method. It is then only displayed for these customers. The assignment is managed on the Customer groups tab on the details of each payment method.
