Clearing Model Overview

The uStore Back Office application supports multiple clearing models, enabling the store administrator to select the relevant model for each store. In the Clearing Model page you can configure in advance clearing models that will be available for your stores.

The following is the list of clearing models:

You can use the following clearing models:

·     PayPal Web Site Payment Standard

·     Ogone/Ingenico

·     AuthorizeNET

·     MultiSafepay

·     Invoice

·     Cost Center

·     Purchase Order

·     Stripe (for StoreFlow Cloud customers only)

Note: If you're a StoreFlow Cloud customer, the Stripe and Mercado Pago clearing methods are also included in your subscription. Otherwise, contact Support to purchase these plugins.

The clearing models that you choose are then made available to the administrator via the Store Setup page > Clearing tab (see Setting Up the Store Clearing Methods).

The Clearing Model list includes a list of all preconfigured clearing models. The Invoice and Offline Billing clearing models are available by default. Naturally, you can use or modify them as necessary.

Setting up a clearing model involves two steps: choosing a Clearing Model (that is, a clearing service) and selecting the related Data Collection Method. These two selections are correlated; meaning, selecting a clearing method is bound to affect your choice of data collection method.

Available clearing models

·     Automatic clearing using a clearing house: uStore is supplied with several integrated online clearing houses. These clearing providers enable you to automatically clear transactions using various clearing methods.

·     No clearing

Available data collection methods

·     Credit card collection: presents the customer with a user interface for the specific clearing method chosen in the Clearing Method drop-down list.

·     No collection (payment via invoice)

In addition, you can create plugins for other clearing models and data collection methods and integrate them in to uStore. The clearing models you add are made available to the administrator via the Store Setup page’s Clearing tab.

The following table shows the available pairs of clearing models and data collection methods:

Delayed payment

In some cases, when using a delayed clearing service, such as a cheque or wire transfer, a final clearing confirmation is received several hours or days after the order has been made. After an immediate initial approval, orders will be processed as confirmed, yet they will stay in a "Delayed Payment" state until the final confirmation.
