Overview

• To access the Payment Method screen, go to one of the following program locations:

Main Menu >  Settings > Data Functions > Payment Methods

Main Menu > Settings > System Functions > Store Setup Wizard > Payment/Credit Cards > Page 2 > Add/Edit Payment Methods

• The program provides pre-defined (standard) payment methods which are the most common means of paying for merchandise, such as Visa, MasterCard, or eCheck, etc.  

  Visa              - credit card

  MasterCard    - credit card

  Discover        - credit card

  AMEX           - credit card

  PO               - Purchase Order

  C.O.D.          - Cash On Delivery

  Check           - physical bank check

  Cash             - currency (paper and coins)

  Generic1       - can be used by generic shopping cart a shopping cart for which Monsoon Commerce does not provide built-in support. It is possible for a retailer to purchase a Generic Shopping Cart license from Monsoon Commerce in order to import orders, etc. into Monsoon OMS from such a cart, but the merchant or a third party programmer has to set up the actual integration themselves. Monsoon Commerce provides a Developer's Guide that contains the necessary program specifications to accomplish that task. A generic shopping cart may also be referred to as a "custom" shopping cart. integrations for non-standard payment types

  Generic2       - can be used by generic shopping cart integrations for unsupported payment types

  eCheck         - electronic bank check

   

• Asynchronous systems such as Google Checkout Or PayPal Express checkout are not pre-defined payment methods, but can be added by the user. The name of the payment method sent by the shopping cart must match the name of the non-standard payment method in SEOM exactly for the program to recognize it.

• On import, the program matches the payment method information to one of the payment methods defined within SEOM.

• If the program does not find a match, it will write "Payment Type=N/A" in the Reasons for Review field, which may prevent an order from being automatically approved. To remedy that situation, the user may define non-standard payment methods.

• SEOM has no way of knowing if payment has been received from an asynchronous payment system, such as PayPal Express Checkout or Google Checkout, therefore the user should verify payment was received before shipping the order.

• When the payment method of PO (Purchase Order) is used in manual orders, you can also manually record the number of the purchase order provided by the customer when the order is placed. If you accept purchase order payments at your shopping cart, you need to create a matching payment method name in Stone Edge. When the order is imported, the payment method is recorded, however, any additional information about the purchase order itself, such as the PO number, is not sent to Stone Edge and is not recorded in the order. You can manually update the order with that information through the Log Transaction button of the Payment tab.  

• For those who accept deferred payments, Net30 and Net90 are also commonly added as payment methods, and are used just like the PO payment method.

• If an order is imported with payment information from one of the UK Credit Cards, such as Electron, Delta, Solo, or Switch, the payment tab displays the Start Date and Issue Number fields.

• Explanation of  Bank Identification Numbers (BIN). Typically, most credit card numbers that start with the number 4 are issued by Visa, however, Switch also uses card numbers that begin with the number 4. Contact the card issuer for its card's individual BIN or range of BINs. If the card type only uses one BIN, enter it in the Single BIN or Starting BIN field. If the card uses a range of BINs such as "456000 to 456099", enter the first number in the range (456000) in the Single BIN or Starting BIN field and enter the last number in the range (456099) in the Ending BIN field. Stone Edge automatically generates the range of BINs for this payment method and lists them in the BINs list box. Keep in mind that BINs are used to determine the card type only. BINs are not used to verify the validity of the credit card number. That function is performed by the payment gateway.
