Adding an Online Store
To start using a new store with X-Payments, you must add this store to the list of your online stores in the X-Payments back end.
To add a new store:
- In the X-Payments back end, go to the 'Online Stores' page (Settings -> Online stores).
- Click the Add new button. The 'Add new online store' section opens.
- Complete the following fields:
- Store name: Enter a short name by which this online store will be identified in X-Payments. This name will be used on the 'Payment Configurations' and 'Payments' pages.
- Order prefix: Enter a prefix that will help you to distinguish orders from this online store from other orders in the payment gateway backoffice. The value entered into this field will be used as part of Reference ID for transactions originating at this store.Note: A full transaction Reference ID consists of the online store prefix, the payment configuration prefix and the reference ID (for example, the order ID).
- Template: Specify the template that should be used for the page where the customers of this online store will enter payment information.
- Payment configurations: If you have already set up the payment configurations that should be available for orders in this online store, assign them to this store by selecting the respective check boxes. If the required payment configurations have not yet been set up, just leave this field as is - you will be able to save the new store without a payment configuration assigned (the store will be marked 'Not configured'); just be sure to assign a payment configuration before connecting the store to X-Payments.
- Click Save. The online store is created.
After you have clicked Save, the page will refresh and you will see the 'Online Store Details' page with the details of the online store you have just added. You can use this page to edit the information you have provided at the previous step and/or obtain the information needed to connect the store in question with X-Payments (i.e. the configuration bundle, store ID and encryption keys; see the instructions for connecting your specific type of online store for more information). Note that when you first add a store in X-Payments, it is added with the Disabled status; before you can get paid by the customers of this store via X-Payments you will need to enable it.
