Enable Payment
Go to Extensions → Payments.
Every payment method in AbanteCart is shipped as an Extension. To install and configure a payment method, log in to the admin area and open Extensions → Payments. Find the payment in the list, then click the install icon in the Quick Actions column. AbanteCart will install the extension and open the configuration page so you can finish the payment setup.
Most payment methods require an account with the payment gateway provider and a valid SSL certificate so transactions can be processed over HTTPS.
Common payment settings
Most payment extensions add their own settings, but several settings are part of AbanteCart core and appear on every installed payment method:
Location: restrict the payment method to one or more selected Locations. Use it when a payment method should only be available in specific Locations.
Storefront Icon: the logo shown on the checkout page. You can remove or replace it. If this is the only payment method available to a customer, the icon is not shown and the checkout skips the payment selection step automatically.
Total Order Minimum: minimum order total required for this payment method to appear at checkout. Orders below this total will not see the method.
Total Order Maximum: maximum order total allowed for this payment method. Orders above this total will not see the method.
Auto Select: when only one payment method is available, AbanteCart skips the payment selection page and selects this method automatically.
Allowed Only for Customer Group(s): restrict the payment method to specific customer groups. Only customers in the selected group(s) will see and be able to use this payment option at checkout.
Select one or more customer groups from the list to apply the restriction.
Leave the field empty to make the payment method available to all customer groups.
Restrict payments by shipping method
Each shipping extension lets you choose which payment methods are available when a customer selects that shipping method. By default nothing is selected, which means every available payment method is shown.
Get more payments
If the payment method you need is not in the Extensions → Payments list, browse the AbanteCart Marketplace or open Admin → Extensions → Get Extensions directly from the admin.
