Payments & Gateways
With PrestaShop, you can accept your customer's transactions through several different payment methods, such as checks, bank wire, cash on delivery, and some partner modules such as Hipay, Moneybookers, PayPal and others. They are already included in your store and are ready to be used. However, it is necessary to configure them.
PrestaShop has three basic payment modules, that you can use out-of-the-box, without any 3rd-party service registration:
- Bank wire
- Cash on delivery
- Payment by check
Additionally, several modules for 3rd-party payment services are available by default:
- Adyen
- Hipay
- Kwixo
- Ogone
- PayPal Europe
- Skrill
Many are developed by the PrestaShop developers themselves, in close collaboration with the services' developers. All are safe to use.
Note that you can find many other payment modules on Addons: http://addons.prestashop.com/en/4-payments-gateways.
Adyen
The Adyen module makes it possible for your shop to accept payments by credit card.
You must have a Adyen account in order to use this module.
Then, configure the module with your Merchant Account, your Notification username password, your country code ISO and your language locale.
Finally, you can choose the payment modules.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the payment options that you chose appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods.
Bank Wire module
This module makes it possible for your customers to pay by bank wire transfer.
In order for the module to accept bank wires, you need to fill out the address of the bank that your store uses, along with the name of the account owner and the other account details (bank branch, IBAN number, BIC, etc.). This is done in the module's configuration page.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the "Pay by bank wire" option appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods. After they have selected it and indicated their choice of currency, your bank information will appear.
Note that when receiving the customer's bank wire, you must manually change the payment status of the order to "Payment accepted" in your back-office. This is different from a credit card order, where the payment is carried out automatically. You can find the order and change its status in the "Orders" page, under the "Orders" menu.
Cash on delivery (COD)
This module makes it possible for your customers to tell you that they will pay for the product directly to the one who delivers it. This could be in-store, or you could have your own employees bring the product to your customers. This is mostly useful for local deliveries.
There is no configuration page: your customer can simply choose to pick up their products at your store.
Hipay
The Hipay module makes it possible for your shop to accept payments by credit card.
You must have a Hipay account in order to use this module. Click on the "Create an account" button to do so.
Then, configure the module with your Account number, your Merchant password, and your Site ID.
Finally, you can choose the authorized age group, pick the payment methods you want to accept, and restrict the module to certain zones.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the "Hipay" option appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods.
Kwixo
The Kwixo module makes it possible for your shop to accept payments through Kwixo's own payment service. Kwixo is part of FIA-Net, the French e-commerce trust seal, and two major French banks, Crédit Agricole and LCL. Customers need to have a Kwixo account, and to have registered a credit card on their service.
You must have a Kwixo account in order to use this module. You can reach the sign-up form by clicking on the link in the configuration page.
Once you have an account, configure the module with your Login, Password, Site ID and Key, and indicate whether you want to work in Test or Prod mode, your delay for delivery, the type of payment you want to accept.
From there on, complete the configuration information by indicating your main product types in the "Categories settings" section, and your carrier types in the "Carrier settings" section.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the "Kwixo" option appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods.
As a merchant, you have access to a Kwixo-specific back-office at the URL located in the "Manage your payments in your Kwixo administration interface" section.
Ogone
The Ogone module makes it possible for your shop to accept payments by credit card.
You must have an Ogone account in order to use this module. You can reach the sign-up form by clicking on the "Create your free Test account!" button in the configuration page.
Then, configure the module with your PSPID, your SHA-in signature, your SHA-out signature, and finally choose whether you want to use the module in Test mode or in Production mode.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the "Ogone" option appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods.
Payments by check
This module makes it possible for your customers to pay by sending a check (or "cheque" in UK English) to you.
To configure payment by check, open the module's configuration page and indicate the order to which your customer must make the check payable – most of the time, your name or your company's name and your address. You can also add details about the transaction.
This information will then appear to the user at the end of the ordering process, after clicking the "Pay by check" option, and validating with a click on the "I confirm my order" button.
Note that when receiving the customer's bank wire, you must manually change the payment status of the order to "Payment accepted" in your back-office. This is different from a credit card order, where the payment is carried out automatically. You can find the order and change its status in the "Orders" page, under the "Orders" menu.
PayPal
The PayPal module makes it possible for your shop to accept payments by credit card or PayPal's own payment service.
You must have a PayPal account in order to use this module. You can reach the sign-up form by clicking on the "Sign Up" button in the configuration page.
Then, configure the module and enter your API Username, your API Password and your API Signature. You should also make sure the other settings fit your needs.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the "PayPal" option appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods.
Skrill
The Skrill module by Moneybookers makes it possible for your shop to accept payments by credit card.
You must have a Moneybookers account in order to use this module. You can reach the sign-up form by clicking on the image in the "Open Account" section.
Then, click on the "I already have a Moneybookers account" button to continue configuring the module.
Once the settings are in place, your customers will see the "Moneybookers Skrill" option appear in the shop's front-office as part of the available payment methods.
