Getting the Correct Payment Method from AmeriCart Custom Forms

If you use custom forms for PayPal, payments by check, etc., the following directions outline how to tell the Order Manager which payment method is used with each form:

 

Note: It is NOT necessary to do this for the standard Order Manager compatible credit card checkout form, since the program already "knows" about that form.

 

  1. Go to the Main Menu>Maintenance Menu>Maintenance tab>List Maintenance button.

  2. Click on the list called Americart Checkout Forms.

  3. For each custom form, enter the form name (C3, S1, etc.) and the payment method (PayPal, Check, etc.). Click Save. When you are finished, click Close and then Return to Main Menu.

  4. At the Main Menu, press the F11 function key to open the Microsoft Access database window. 

  5. Click on the Tables icon. Open the table called "Payment Methods".

  6. Do not modify records zero through seven. Change the Method for either or both of the "Generic" methods in records eight and nine to the payment methods you entered in the Americart Checkout Forms list. Note: The spelling here must match the spelling in the list exactly, although the case (UPPER or lower) of the letters does not matter.

  7. If you need more payment methods, add them to the table, assigning them ID numbers 10, 11, etc.

  8. Click Save and then close the table when you are finished.
