Configuring Credit/Debit Cards

If you have the 'Credit card details captured for later processing' payment method selected (in 'Business Settings | Payment and Security'), then you can click 'Configure Method' to select the cards that you will accept at your store.

Note: If you are taking payments within a Payment Service Provider then please go to What Is A Payment Service Provider? for details.

The options in the 'Capture Method' area are discussed in Securing Your Online Store.

To add a new row to the 'Credit Cards Accepted' grid, click the '+' at the top-left of the grid. To remove a row, right click and select 'Delete Row'.
