Setting payment options

You can allow your customers to purchase your products or services in three different ways.

  1. Login to your master admin at www.<yourdomain>.com/cgi-bin/master/Admin.cgi

  2. Go to "Payment Config"

  3. Check the boxes next to the payment options you want to provide

Manual payments:  This is the payment option for your members or shopping cart visitors can simply mail in the payments to you.

Paypal:  You can offer paypal payments using the service located at www.paypal.com.  You will need to have a business account which is still typically free other than the normal transaction fees.  The downside of paypal is that your customers also have to have a paypal account to purchase from you which may cause you to lose sales.

Authorize.net:  This is a secure way of handling transactions that offer hassle free order processing.  We use authorize.net so you can see by our ordering process how it could work for you.
