Use SSL During Customer Checkout*


Yes No
If your web site has SSL enabled, then select the YES option and complete the next two fields. If not, click the NO option and skip the next two fields.
Run Customer Checkout SSL on Local or Remote Server?
Local Remote

This field tells the store where to run the secure credit card page during customer checkout. If you are running SSL from the local server (the same server that is running your web site), the system will be able to use the skin assigned to your store when it builds the credit card page.

If SSL is running on a remote server (a server different than the one running your web site), the software will display a "generic" credit card page with your store's name at the top.

Full Path to "Remote" SSL Directory

This path tells the shopping cart system where to find the SSL enabled server and where to run your credit card entry page from. If you are not sure what to enter, please ask your web hosting provider for assistance.

This field is ONLY required if you selected USE SSL = YES and the RUN SSL = REMOTE in the fields above. If you are running the SSL from the local server, then DO NOT complete this field.

Minimum Order Amount:
If you want to require that all customers order a minimum amount of products, then enter an amount in this field. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to require a minimum order amount.
Maximum Order Amount:
On CC Orders Only?  Yes
If you want to limit the maximum amount that any customer can order at one time, enter an amount in the first field. Mark the check-box field if you ONLY want this limit applied to credit card orders. Leave these fields blank if you do not wish to limit the maximum size of any order.
Allow Tax Exempt Orders*
Yes No

If you want the store to allow (sales) tax exempt orders, click the "Yes" option.

Select the "No" option if you DO NOT want the store to allow for tax exempt orders.

Remember Customers During Checkout*
Yes No

If you want the store to "remember" customers during checkout, click the "Yes" option.

Select the "No" option if you DO NOT want the store to remember customers during checkout.

Ask Customers for Their Credit Card's Bank Name and Phone Number:*
Yes No

To help prevent credit card fraud, you should always require that customers provide the name of the bank who issued their credit/debit card as well as the bank's phone number. Collecting this information during checkout will allow you to call the bank and verify the cardholder's name and account information for any suspicious orders.

Deny Orders From:
If you want the store to NOT accept orders from customers who use certain types of "free" email accounts, enter a series of disallowed email domains in the field above. If you are entering multiple domains, please separate them by inserting a colon. The store will accept up to 50 email domains in this field.

Please see the online help for an example of how to use this field.
