For a shop using the "No account setup on checkout. " Format
, on a reorder at a later date by a customer who had previously ordered
, the shopper would still need to enter in their address information
again (image to the right). If you choose to have your customers create
accounts, all billing and shipping addresses are saved and the customers
must only enter their email addresses and passwords to check out. If
you have many return customers, having them create their own accounts
may be convenient and helpful. If many of your customers are one-time
customers, there is probably no need to have accounts created.

Next you will find a drop down menu that allows you to choose which
merchant gateway you will interface the shop with (for
real-time credit card processing) or if you will have the information
stored securely with the 'Secure Checkout'. Everyone who wishes to accept
payment by credit card will need a way to process the cards, be it in
real-time through a gateway, or with a traditional terminal utilizing
the 'Secure Checkout'.
|
If you choose 'Secure Checkout' (which stores the complete order with
credit card information securely in the 'View Pending Orders' section
of your shop owner's panel) you will not need to fill any other fields
and you may move on.
