Payment methods
A payment method is how a customer pays for the order. nopCommerce supports both online and offline transactions. For the online methods, nopCommerce integrates with third-party payment gateways, so that customer's credit card information will be automatically sent through the gateway (as either an authorization or an authorization and charge) upon completion of an order. You can have multiple payment methods active at one time. The customer can select how he/she wants to pay at the checkout.
To define payment methods go to Configuration → Payment methods.
Tip
By default, there are several payment methods available in nopCommerce, but you can find more payment plugins in the nopCommerce marketplace.
For the payment method development details, refer to the document.
To activate a payment method, click Edit beside the required method, tick the Is active checkbox and click Update. The Is active option changes from false to true.
Different payment methods support different options. There are 4 payment options that can supported by a payment method or not:
- Supports capture indicates whether this method allows processing money transfer after the amount was charged.
- Refund indicates this method allows making a money refund after the amount was charged and captured already.
- Partial refund indicates whether this method allows making a partial money refund after the amount was charged and captured already.
- Void indicates whether this method allows making a money refund before the amount was charged (when the payment status is pending).
- Recurring support indicates whether this method allows recurring payments.
