Payment Process

The payment process starts when a customer selects a payment method, such as gift card or credit card. iAPPS Commerce manages payments via a payment gateway that handles credit card, Paypal, gift cards and other transactions.  Commerce provides the payment company with payment data and manages the authentication between your store server and the payment gateway.

The payment gateway is set up during the development process for iAPPS.  Depending on the payment gateway your company chooses, the payment process can be in a foreign currency.

Selecting or Changing Payment Methods

During the checkout process customers must select a payment method. A return customer who has previously saved credit card information can apply it as payment by selecting it from the drop-down Saved Cards list.

A new customer can enter credit card information on the Payment Information screen:
