Here we show you how to create various webshop payment options. Fundamentally, payment options represent the different ways in which a customer can settle their outstanding invoices. Any number of payment options can be defined per webshop.

Step 1: Open the Webshop Language Overview

Step 3: Create a Payment Option

To create a new payment option, select the “Neu” FastTab. The new entry is inserted above the currently selected row. To enable faster creation and editing of a payment option, the payment option overview is already editable in the list. The options can therefore be entered and edited directly in the list by clicking “Liste bearbeiten”.In our example, we create the payment option “PayPal” without a country-specific code. To do so, we select the following settings:Description: PayPalCountry code: (leave empty)Active: check the boxBy leaving the country code empty, the payment option is available for all countries in the webshop.If a specific country such as “DE” for Germany is selected, this payment option is only available in the selected country.To activate the created payment option for the webshop, check the “Aktiv” checkbox.

Step 4: Define Fees

To determine whether additional fees apply to a payment option, enter the corresponding value in the “Gebühren” field. However, these fees are only added to the invoice at the end. In our example, no fees apply, so we enter 0 in the “Gebühren” field.

Step 5: Define the Checkout Type

Under Checkout, you now determine the actual payment method. In our example, we select “PayPal verzögert” in the Checkout field. Deferred means that the purchase amount is only reserved at first and not yet posted. The final posting occurs later when the order has actually been shipped.

Step 6: Define the Checkout Status

The Checkout Status now determines whether requests to the online payment service are sent as Test or Live. In our example, we select “Live” in the “Checkout Status” field.

Step 7: Activate Digital Voucher

To be able to purchase digital vouchers with the respective payment option, check the “Digitaler Gutschein aktiv” checkbox. Since this only makes sense for online payment methods, we check the box in our example.

Step 8: Define Subscription Orders

To be able to place subscription orders with the respective payment option, check the “Aktiv für Abonnements” checkbox. In our example, however, we do not check the box, since we do not want to enable recurring payments for PayPal.

Step 9: Automatic Payment Reconciliation

To ensure that the incoming payment is automatically recorded in the background in the financial accounting, we check the “Auto Zahlungsausgleich” field in our example.

Step 10: Insert a Text Module into the Order

To be able to insert a text module, such as “DHL-Green”, into an order, select a corresponding text module in the “Textbaustein Auftrag” field. In our example, we leave this field empty.

Step 12: Assign an Image to the Payment Option

To assign an explanatory image or symbol to the payment option, navigate in the “Navigate” ribbon via “Zusätzliche Daten” to the “Logo” FastTab and click “Logo bearbeiten” there. Images in JPEG or PNG format can be inserted here, which are then automatically converted to the correct size.

Step 13: Assign a Description to the Payment Option

To define a description for the payment option, navigate in the “Navigate” ribbon via “Zusätzliche Daten” to the “Beschreibung” FastTab and click “Beschreibung bearbeiten” there. An editor opens in which you can enter and format text. We recommend composing a meaningful short text here, such as “With PayPal you pay easily and securely!”.

To synchronize the payment option with the webshop system, click the “Aktualisieren” FastTab in the “Start” ribbon. This updates all payment options that have been changed since the last update.All changed payment options are also automatically updated with the next full data update.
