You must create a payment method before you can open your shop.
1) Go to the payment methods page.
Click Enterprises in the blue horizontal menu, and then click Manage next to your enterprise. Then, click Payment methods in the menu on the left hand side.
2) Click on the create new payment method button.
3) Tick your enterprise, in the box on the right hand side of the page titled Hubs. This indicates which enterprise the payment method you are about to create will apply to. You can select more than one enterprise.
4) Name: Choose a name for this payment method. (i.e. Pay with credit card using Paypal, Cash on delivery or Bank Transfer etc). It will be displayed at checkout and on customers' order confirmation emails.
5) Description: provide further details about the payment method. For example, for a bank transfer, you would provide details of the bank account. This description will be displayed at checkout and in order confirmation emails.
The screenshot below shows a payment methods display at checkout. The customer has selected ‘cash on collection/delivery’ and the ‘correct change…’ description is displayed.
6) Active: Select whether this payment method is currently visible and available, or not.
7) Tags: Use tag rules if you want to make certain payment methods available/unavailable for specific customers (e.g. wholesale vs retail). See tags and tag rules for more information.
8) Payment providers: Select the one which is relevant to the payment method you are creating.
You can accept payment via 5 payment options:
Cash/EFT/etc. (Use this for payments which occur after checkout, externally to Abukem such as cash or bank transfers)
MasterCard Internet Gateway Service (MIGS)
PayPal Express
Stripe
If you have selected ‘Cash/EFT/etc..’ as the provider, click Create to end the process.
For MasterCard, Paypal and Pin Payments additional instructions are below.
To setup a PayPal payment method, you need a PayPal business or merchant account. You can create one here. Once you have that, you can set up ‘API access’ within PayPal, which will enable OFN to connect customers directly with your PayPal account.
Login to your PayPal Account
Click Tools and then select API credentials
Click on ‘View API Signature’ and you will see the API details you’ll need to set up Paypal in Abukem.
In Abukem, make sure you are logged in as your Enterprise User. Go to an Enterprise and create a Payment Method. Select PayPal and fill in the details from the PayPal site.
Login:Type the API Username.
Password:Type the API Password.
Signature:Type the Signature in this field.
Server: Change the ‘server’ field to ‘live’ – this is case sensitive.
Solution: Solution determines whether or not a user needs a PayPal account to check out.
Type “Mark” if you do want users to have a paypal account, or “Sole” if they can checkout without a Paypal account (with credit card).
Landing Page: You can select which page to show customers once they’re redirected to PayPal.
Type “Login” to direct customer to the login form for PayPal (if you selected “Mark” above). Or type “Billing” to show show customers a form where they can enter their credit card data and possibly sign up for a PayPal account (if you selected “Sole” above).
You can attach a fee to payment methods. Most commonly this is used to pass on a platform's fees to the customer, such as Paypal fees. 1. Select a fee calculator (full descriptions below) 2. Enter the value.
Note: Payment method fees do not include tax.
Flat Percent: This fee is charged as a percentage of the total amount charged in the order.
Flat Rate (per order): This fee is applied as standard fee to all orders, regardless of the size of the order.
Flexible Rate – This calculator is typically used for promotional discounts where you charge a reduced fee as the customer makes more purchases.
‘First Item Cost’: The fee charged for the first item in the order.
‘Additional Item Cost’: The fee charged for items beyond the first item.
‘Max Items’: The maximum number of items on which the fee will be applied. Items purchased beyond this amount will be not be charged the fee.
For example: If the first cost is $2, Additional Item Cost is $1 and the maximum items is three. If a customer orders 5 items, they will be charged $2 for the first item, $1 for the second and third, and no fee for the fourth and fifth.
Flat Rate (per item): This fee is a constant fee, applied to products listed as ‘items’. (it will not be applied to products listed as per kg, or per L)
Price Sack: This fee is used to charge a discount on fees for orders which exceed a certain dollar amount.
‘Minimum Amount’: If the order’s total is below this amount, they will be charged the ‘Normal Amount’.
‘Discount Amount’: Orders which are equal to or greater than the minimum amount will be charged the ‘Discount Amount’.
