Navigate to Settings —> Payment in the home page of your admin area.
The Payment Methods table contains all the available payment methods you currently accept. To activate/enable a payment method, check the PaymentMethod Active check box or leave it blank to disable it.
Note: DO NOT DELETE PAYMENT METHODS. If you delete an existing payment method, you will NOT be able to re-enter it.
Additional payment methods may be added if needed. All the payment methods are listed in the Payment Method drop down list on the one-page-checkout page during customer checkout. There are currently three payment method types, which trigger form fields to appear during the checkout process:
The following configuration variables found under Settings —> Config Variables —> Checkout Variables also allow for flexibility on the above form fields:
| Config Variable | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
| Enable_Payments_CVV2 | Enable collection of CVV2 (Credit Card Security Code) | Y |
| Enable_Payments_CheckingAccountType | Enable collection of Checking Account Type. | Y |
| Enable_Payments_CheckNumber | Enable collection of Check Number. | Y |
For example, if you enable the Check By Mail payment method, You'll need to:
| PaymentMethodType | Article WebPage | Article SpotKey |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | OrderFinished.asp | Cash_Instructions |
| Check by Mail | OrderFinished.asp | CheckByMail_Instructions |
| Money Order | OrderFinished.asp | MoneyOrder_Instructions |
| PayPal | OrderFinished.asp | PayPal_Instructions |
| Purchase Order Number | OrderFinished.asp | PurchaseOrder_Instructions |
| Wire Transfer | OrderFinished.asp | WireTransfer_Instructions |
Very Helpful Hint: When searching this long page for an article, press CTRL+F on your keyboard (OR, in your browser, go to EDIT —> FIND) which will open the find dialog box. This let's you search the page and QUICKLY find anything you're looking for.
For example, in this case you happen to know the SpotKey according to the chart above, so type in CheckByMail_Instructions and click the Find Next button. It will take you down to the appropriate section of the page, and you can continue clicking the Find Next button to find multiple occurrences of text on the page. This functionality is actually a feature of your browser, not the software. Therefore, you can use this on any page of any website.
If you're looking for an article where you do not know the SpotKey, you can always search for any word that you happened to know currently exists in the article. For example, if you see a paragraph on your website front-end that you want to change, and not sure where to go to change it, try going to Design —> Website Text page of your admin area, and use this FIND dialog box to search for a word. For example, let's say the paragraph you see on your front-end is: As soon as your order ships, we will notify you via e-mail. You can also track your packages, review your orders, print invoices, and more... Choose a word or phrase that is somewhat unique. In the above example, you could choose the phrase order ships as an example. In the Design —> Website Text page, type order ships into the find dialog box, you will quickly find the article you're looking to edit.
To enable PayPal as an available payment option for your customers:
Note: PayPal is different than a normal merchant account in the fact that the customer is sent to PayPal's website to make his/her payment, whereas with a merchant account the customer NEVER leaves your website to submit payment. Also the PayPal does not require that the customer finish payment, as a customer can choose to abandon even after they are redirected.
After the order is placed, it creates the order in Volusion and then once the customer completes the order on PayPal, a notification is sent to your Volusion Order. In order for this to occur, the primary email address on your PayPal account must be entered as noted in Step 4 above in the setup on Volusion.
To setup Google Checkout go to:
See the below screen shot for an example of the required settings for Google Checkout

When the customer places a order through Google Checkout the order will only get created once the customer completes the order on Google Checkout. After the order is placed, Google will send the order information back to the shopping cart which at that time, the shopping cart will create the order. If no order is created in your orders list, then the order was not completed on Google Checkout or Google Checkout is not setup correctly.
Note: You can also add the Google Checkout Acceptance logos to your store Google provides several to choose from. Please click for the Google Checkout Acceptance Logos
Your store communicates with a payment gateway, such as Authorize.net for example, and the gateway communicates with your merchant account bank. Therefore your store software only needs to know the connection settings for your gateway. Navigate to Settings —> Payment in the home page of your admin area. Scroll down to the Payment section where you may:
When setting up your Payment Gateway, first select your country that your gateway is in from the Merchant Gateway Country field. Next, select the currency your gateway uses or is setup for in the Merchant Gateway Currency field. The Merchant Gateway Name field will display the supported gateways for the specific country you selected.
If you applied for and obtained your gateway and merchant account through the Volusion Merchant Services, then set the Volusion Merchant Gateway Name to Volusion Merchant Services [SKIPJACK] and fill out the following fields:
Note: This information should have been emailed to you when you applied for the merchant services account. If you did not receive this email, please contact our Merchant Services department by phone at 800-646-3517 option 4 or emailing vmc@volusion.com
If you do not have the Volusion Merchant Services as your gateway, then select Other in the drop down for Merchant Gateway Name. This will create a text box below the drop down for you to enter your gateway name. In order to process transactions successfully, the correct gateway name must be entered in the text box along with the required fields needed for that gateway.
