Finally, you can select the user(s) that you want to have access to the payment method by manually editing the user and selecting the appropriate group under their account settings. This can also be done en masse via spreadsheet. You can quickly export your users and under the accountrole column header enter the group name (case sensitive). If user has more then one group assigned, separate groups using a semicolon ";". Then send the file to us via a support ticket to be imported onto your site.

Payment Gateways

To accept credit card payments online you need a relationship with a payment gateway. A Payment Gateway is a service that authorizes and processes payments for online retailers in real-time. It is the equivalent of a physical POS (Point-of-sale) terminal located in most retail outlets. Payment gateways encrypt sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, to ensure that information passes securely between the customer and the merchant.

Select your Payment Gateway and click "Edit"
