Field #1:

NameDescription
Charge appears on statement as

...

Enter the name of the company that will appear on the customer's credit card statement. To alleviate confusion to the customer, the billed by name will be printed on their receipt. This will help customers associate the charge on their credit card with the online store if the company name and DBA are different. This also helps prevent them from initiating a charge back.

...

 
Charge During CheckoutThis option tells the system if the customer will be charge in real time when the order is placed or after. It is always recommended to keep this setting to yes unless you are setup to charge the customer after shipment.
Collect Card Verification Value number

...

When this box is checked, the customer MUST enter the Card Verification Value (CVV2) number that appears on the back of their credit card. Note: Discover Card calls it the "Cardmember ID". This is performed only momentarily for real-time charge during checkout. This data is NOT retained in the database! 
This is highly recommended as it provides an additional check that lessens the chance of an individual placing an order by obtaining the card number alone.

Warning
However, if you have set your "charge during checkout" configuration to "NO", and have this field checked, then you will have to contact the customer to re-obtain the CVV2 when you finally processes the order.

...

Paper Checks - Money Orders - Electronic Checks


Electronic forms of payment are typically preferred by merchants over checks because the funds become available to the merchant quicker, and the credit card company assumes more of the risk related to fraud. Paper checks, Electronic checks and Money Orders are still a common form of payment by corporations or for large orders by customers that do not have a credit card.
