What we'll cover in this Article
Available Forms of Payment
The following forms of payment are available for you to use on your site. To select a payment method, simply click on the box corresponding to the option you would like to use. To edit the payment, click on the Edit icon.
Note: For credit card orders, you must use a Payment Gateway.
Allow All Users to Apply Payment after Checkouts - For users that have not made immediate payments on orders (PO/Cash), they can log back in at a later time and make a payment via credit card. Some payment methods, such as checks, have an additional setting to allow post order payments.
Allow All Payments in Admin by Default - Allows all payment methods on the Place New Order page.
Enable Purchase Order Number On All Payments - Always displays the Purchase Order field on the checkout page.
Require PO number when Purchase Order is selected - Forces the user to enter a purchase order number if they select PO as a payment method prior to checkout.
Duplicate Purchase Order Strategy - You can choose to allow/reject duplicate purchase orders, or simply display a warning when a duplicate PO is entered.
PO Number Overwritten With New Storefront Payment PO Number - When a new PO payment is applied via the storefront view order page, the new PO number will overwrite previous PO numbers on the order.

Payment Method Filtering
Step 1: Create a User Group
In the admin under People > More > User Groups & Permissions
Create a New Group
Skip the first box, do not assign any permissions to customer groups.
Hit "Save Changes".
Step 2: Filter Payment Method
Next we're going to go edit the payment method.
- Go to Config > Order Settings > Payment Methods
- Click EDIT on the payment method you want to limit visibility on.
- Uncheck the box for "Visible to All Users".
Select the Group from the right that you want to make this payment option visible to.
Click the arrow to move it to the left.
It will then appear on the left.
Hit "Save" in the top right.
Saving these changes will now show this payment method only to the customers that you have put into these Groups.
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"
