Overview

When a customer places an order, he needs to pay for it, and you will require a method to collect this money. You can do this with the help of a payment processor. Version 3.7 of ViArt Shop supports more than 80 different processors to select from. To see a full list of currently supported Payment Systems, we'll recommend to install the latest version from our site and navigate to Administration > Sales Orders > Payment Systems.

Edit Payment System page settings

To setup a payment processor, please ensure you do the following steps (as an example, we'll take a Personal Payment System):

• 1. Navigate to Administration > Orders > Payment Systems, select a Personal system and click on the 'Edit System' link.
• 2. For a Personal system specify the options 'Is Active', 'Order', 'Payment System Name', 'Payment URL' and 'Form Submit method' as shown on the image:

You may also decide to use optional fields available on the Payment Edit page, like:

Is Default - to make this payment system a default one. This is used when you have several active payment processors but would like to make one processor as a default one.

User Payment System Name is a name for the payment processor that a customer will see on the checkout page. This name may differ from the one you've set in the Admin panel.

Payment Information - is a textbox where you can add some information on the gateway which will be shown for your customers on the user_order.php page (in the Payment Details block):

Payment Details Page

Once personal and delivery details are entered, a customer proceeds to the 'Checkout: Payment details' page. To customize this page please navigate to Administration > Sales orders > Payment Systems > Payment Details Page (choose the corresponding link).

The page you are presented with is very similar to that of the 'Sales Order Profile Settings' page (see section 4.1.1). Within this page you can manage the following sections:

• The 'Field Type' option can be set to 'Active' or 'Hidden'
• There is no the 'Tax Free' option
• There is no the 'Price' column in the 'Option Values' section

The predefined fields are:

Secure Options

The following settings specify the security level for the administration side of your online store.

• Cut off from credit card number four last digits. If this option is enabled, credit card numbers will be displayed to all administrators without 4 last digits (Administration > Orders Maintenance > Order)
• Credit Card Number and Security Code tell the system how to handle the corresponding data: store encrypted (with this option it is not possible to restore the data) or do not store at all

Note: There are two more security-related issues: security issues (see section 2.5) and secure pages (see section 3.1)

Final Checkout Settings

Once the order has been confirmed by a customer, they are forwarded to the last step of the checkout: 'Checkout: Final'. At this stage he is informed of the status of the order which has been placed.

To configure this page please go to Administration > Sales orders > Payment Systems > Final Checkout Page.

Final Messages

Here enter the text you want your customers to see after the order has been confirmed, this may be thanks or instructions as what to do next. The message should depend on the status assigned to the order therefore you need to set up three of them.

Note: As usual, it is possible to use any HTML tags, e-mail tags (click the 'click here to learn more about email settings and see all available message tags' link below) and two special ViArt Shop tags {error_message} or {pending_message} (the messages are generated by the payment system depending on the situation).

E-mail Notifications

With ViArt Shop you can receive e-mail notifications when several different events occur on your store, moreover, you can set up e-mail notifications for your customers as well. In order to do this you need to tick off the corresponding check boxes and the system will send e-mail whenever a new order is completed.

Note: you can get a detailed description of all e-mail fields if you click the 'click here to learn more about all email fields' link.

ViArt Shop can send email messages in both HTML and Plain text formats. Setting the 'Message Type' radio button to 'HTML' allows you to send emails in HTML format, thus HTML tags will be used for formatting message as HTML. The 'Plain text' option discards any HTML formatting - the message will be sent exactly as it is.

Another option of e-mail notifications is the ability to use special ViArt Shop tags. These tags are placed in braces and when an e-mail message is sent, the tags are replaced by tags values. For example, the {first_name} tag will be replaced by the first name of the customer who submitted the order. You can look through the full list of such tags by clicking the 'click here to learn more about email settings and see all available message tags' link. Note that it is possible to add these tags into your email body and email subject.

To save the changes click on the 'Update' button. If you want to leave without saving click on the 'Cancel' button.
