- Click New Payment Method.
- Select a payment gateway provider from the dropdown list (e.g. Stripe).
- Add the following information, as applicable, to create the new payment method:
Name
Give the payment method a name (e.g. Credit Card, Pay with Card, etc.). The name you enter here will appear to users as a payment option at checkout.
Description
Description is optional and only appears as an internal note.
Display
Choose if the payment method appears on the front-end to the user, the back-end to an admin, or both.
The front-end is where users will see the payment method displayed as a payment option during checkout.
The back-end lets you make a payment option available to internal staff but not to users. For example, you might need to offer a back-end payment option to users on a one-off basis, and allow a representative from your company to process the payment via Purchase Order or other means.
Auto-Capture
Authorization with Auto-Capture is the most common type of credit card transaction. The amount is sent for authorization, and if approved, is automatically submitted for settlement.
Auto-Capture is turned on by default for new payment methods in Intellum E-commerce.
Active
Select Yes if you want the payment method to go live. Select No to add the payment method, and return to make it active at a later date.
4. after defining each of the above settings, click Create to add the payment method and configure the payment gateway connection.
Configure the Payment Gateway
Once you've created a new payment method, you'll need to follow up to configure the connection between Intellum E-commerce and your payment gateway provider.
The platform will ask you to add Payment Provider Settings when you create a new payment method. Payment provider settings fields can vary based on your selected payment gateway provider.
