Defining Credit Card Types

Your customers can use credit cards of different types to pay for orders they place at your store. The list of credit cards accepted at your store can be modified using the 'Credit card types' section of the 'Settings' menu.

By default, five credit card types can be used: VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Switch and Solo (Figure 3-16).

You can add more credit card definitions by specifying card parameters in the 'Add credit card type' form (Figure 3-17). The following card type details must be provided:

•	Card code - this is the code which will be used in your store database, it does not necessarily have to comply with conventional codes.

•	Card type - this is the name of the card as it will appear in the Customer Zone of your store.

•	CVV2 - checkmark this option if you would like to enable CVV2 verification; CVV2 verification requires that your customer provides the valid CVV2 code of his card in order to proceed with the transaction.

•	Enabled - checkmark this option to enable the use of the card type or clear the checkbox to disable it; only enabled credit card types can be used by your customers.

•	Pos. - this parameter defines the position of the credit card type in the list; credit cards are sorted in the ascending order.

After you have completed the 'Add credit card type' form, click on the 'Add new' button to save the new credit card definition. If the details were filled in correctly, the 'Credit card added successfully' message will appear and you will see an updated list of credit card types.

You can modify credit card definitions in the list, changing card type names, list positions and other parameters. The only parameter that cannot be changed is the 'Card code'. Once you make changes to credit card type definitions, click on the 'Update' button for your changes to be saved. 'Credit card updated successfully' message indicates that your changes have been saved (Figure 3-18).
