Checkout and payment (eCommerce)

Adding/editing shop checkout and payment preferences

Tip: Test payment methods - you are responsible.

Read your bank's Internet merchant policy and testing information carefully. You will need to test that payments made through your website appear at your merchant account. 

You are responsible for ensuring that your payments are received correctly. 

If you have any questions, experience any errors or do not find the gateway that you require in the selection menu, please contact customer service immediately.

  1. Go to Preferences > Checkout and Payments.
  2. Enter/edit payment preferences. You can elect to accept payments through one option from the Accept credit card payments section and/orall options under Other payment types and Manual payment types.
  3. Click the Save Preferences button.

Accept credit card payments

Online credit card transactions: Customers can enter their credit card details to be approved (or disproved) online using a secure gateway (i.e., Westpac Web Advantage and Commbank Payment Gateway).

For users that already have an Internet Merchant Account:

  1. Select the credit card gateway that applies to your bank.
  2. Enter your Merchant ID and password.
  3. Click the Save Preferences button.

For users that do not have an Internet Merchant Account:

  • If you do not already have an Internet Merchant Account, you will need to call your bank to enquire.  Different banks have slightly different fees and policies. They will inform you which gateway they use.
  • Once you have created an account, you can enter the details into the site preferences.
  • Banks often issue a testing I.D so that you and the bank can verify that payments are being made successfully. When the testing phase is complete you are issued with a vaild Merchant I.D to start processing real payments.


Email card details using SSL and PGP:
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an email encryption program that will allow you to receive credit card details securely through email.  You must have PGP Software to use this option. Once the Software is set up on your preferred email program, enter you PGP User ID (email address) and your Public Key into the relevant fields.
