Payment / Currency

Your store payment and currency settings.

Read this carefully! Specify display preference on how the price should display in your store. Use {PRICE} for the pricing position. Examples:

£{PRICE} - (For UK store, display example: £9.99)
{PRICE}€ - (For Euro based store, display example: 9.99€)
${PRICE}AUD - (For Australian based store, display example: $9.99AUD)
${PRICE} - (For US store, display example: $9.99)

£ = £
€ = €
$ = $

Character entities (as shown above) should be used or just static text, eg: GBP{PRICE}

DO NOT use literal symbols (£,€,$) or you may see a ? in your store inside a triangle, which indicates unicode problems.

Test - For testing ONLY and will not process live payments (Sandbox mode). This should be the default until you are sure your store is working.

Live - Sets payment system for live payments. More info on the gateway setup page.

No Payment Gateway - Switches the gateway system off. If you prefer a manual payment option after sale. If this is chosen a box appears 'Payment Info - No Payment Gateway' where you should enter your payment information. This is shown to visitor after they complete a purchase. Tags can be used for personalisation and are shown beneath the box.

This is your processing currency.

Important: This currency should be supported by the payment gateway.

Check the payment system websites or view the docs to see which currencies are supported for each option.

Currencies can be added / edited in the following file:
control/currencies.php

Do you want to log gateway responses? Should be set to yes during test mode to help identify issues.

Add gateway parameters, this is used to send data to the payment gateway. For advanced users, you can use this option to send custom options to the payment server or use as checks in other areas of the callback routine. Parameter values are masked for security. You can reveal the values via the icon. You can disable having the eye reveal option available via the 'admin/control/options.php' file and the 'SHOW_PARAMETER_EYE_TOGGLE' constant. Note that the eye option is not shown in some examples.
