View what's in this topicSetting Up the Store Clearing Methods
When you set up a store, you must select at least one clearing method.
Go to Store Setting > Set up Store, and click the Clearing tab.
Clearing methods can be:
-
Online clearing: Payment is done at the time of the ordering, using automatic clearing payment services, such as PayPal, MultiSafepay and Authorize.Net.
-
Offline clearing: Payment takes place after the order is entered by the customer. You can choose not to submit transactions to automatic clearing services, but perform the clearing in-house using the customer's credit card details as provided at ordering time. You can also use an invoice method, with which customers are not asked to fill in their credit card details. Instead, credit card collection takes place by phone after ordering time.
Common clearing methods used are: invoice, credit card payment and 3rd-party web payment services, such as PayPal.
In the Clearing tab you select the clearing method(s) and clearing services you want to use in your store.
The Display Name column shows
the clearing method name you chose to display in your store. You can click
the Pencil button 
to insert or edit a display name.
Notes:
-
This setting cannot be overridden per-product.
-
In uStore Connect stores, the Invoice clearing model is implicitly selected.
Fields on the checkout page
The fields that the customer fills in at checkout are determined by the clearing method, and cannot be added to from the store setup.
-
The Purchase Order and Cost Center clearing methods each display a text box at checkout. A value is mandatory, but it is not validated - any value the customer enters is accepted. See Purchase Order Clearing Configuration and Cost Center Clearing Configuration.
-
An order comment is the one additional free-text field available. It is not part of a clearing method: enable it with the Show Order Comment Field in Checkout checkbox, as described in Text Insertions. It is not available in uStore Connect stores.
Beyond these, the checkout page can be changed in two ways: with custom JavaScript, which is outside the scope of standard support, or with a clearing model of your own, as described in Clearing Plugin Pair Table.
