FieldDescription
Support Credit Card Types

Configure only the card types you have established with your credit card merchant account and gateway.

Charge Appears On Statement AsConfigure your company name as you have established it with your merchant credit card account and gateway.
This will be displayed on the customer receipt in order to alert the customer as to how the charge will appear on their credit card statement.
Charge During checkout

The default setting is "YES" and is strongly recommended for most merchants. (See also: Checkout Payment Options)


Collect Card Verification Number

If selected (recommended default setting) turns on the checkout field for the customer to enter the Card Verification Value (CVV) number listed on their credit card.

Info
titleCVV# Handling

The CVV number is the number typically located along the signature strip of the credit card that is meant to act as validation that the customer access physical access to the credit card. UltraCart does not store the CVV number in our database (per PCI regulations). UltraCart passes the CVV number over to the gateway during the customer's checkout (when you have the default configuration of "real-time" checkout = Yes which is strongly recommended.) If a customer's order is flagged for review and placed into the accounts receivables all other checkout details provided by the customer will be retained except for the CVV number.


 

After failed attempt "After ( # ) attempts at processing the payment, collect the order information and store in Accounts Receivable."
The default setting is 3 attempts. This gives the customer 2 chances to review/ update their billing details and the resubmit the order to finalization to the receipt. If the 3rd attempt results in a decline/error response (payment is not authorized) the order will complete to a receipt and the order will move into your Accounts Receivables department for your review of the transaction details in order to determine the exact cause the the decline/non authorization. You can then follow up with the customer using the contact details in their placed/payment pending order to gather updated billing details (updated details for existing card or all new credit card details) which you can then use to update the order and process the payment.

Test Credit Card

Here you can configure one or more test credit card numbers to be used with placing test orders so that you can create the test orders without generating real transaction with your gateway, which will incur potential transaction related fee's.

Immediate Finalize Security

UltraCart can protect your custom order forms by preventing immediate finalization of order forms that do not come from specific domains. To enable this feature please list the domain(s) in the field then click the save button.


Advanced Methods

The advanced methods are located directly below the common Methods.  They are considered "advanced" because they are used in a more limited fashion.  This is in part due to the fact that many of these payment options are not based on a real-time validation process like the "Common" Methods. These methods may not be appropriate for many storefronts.
