Credit Card Types

 Top  Previous  Next  

If your store is going to accept credit card payments (no matter whether you will use manual or online payment processing), you need to make sure that every type of credit cards that you wish to allow your customers to use at your store is on the list of credit card types supported by your store. The list of credit card types supported by your store is provided in the 'Edit Credit Card Types' section (Administration menu->Credit card types).

After you install X-Cart, this list already includes the most popular credit card types, so you just need to ensure that everything is in place.

The columns provide the following information about each credit card type:

▪CARD CODE - Code of the credit card type.
▪CARD TYPE - Name of the credit card type.
▪CVV2 - Whether CVV2 is required for the credit card type or not.

If necessary, it is possible to add new credit card types to the list, modify the credit card types in the list or delete selected credit card types from the list.

To add a new credit card type to the list of credit card types supported by your store:

1.In the 'Add credit card type' subsection of the 'Edit Credit Card Types' form enter the card code and the card type.
2.If the new credit card type requires CVV2, select the appropriate check box.
3.Click on Add new.

Note: For some credit card types, X-Cart provides a JavaScript-based validation of credit card numbers. This mechanism validates a credit card number entered by a user based on the rules of credit card number formation for specific credit card types. To find out whether such validation is provided for a specific credit card type, see the file check_cc_number_script.js. If you add a new credit card type and need such a validation to be provided for it, too, please be aware that some modifications will need to be made to the file check_cc_number_script.js.

To rename a credit card type or change its CVV2 property:

1.In the 'Edit Credit Card Types' form find the card type you would like to update.
2.Edit the credit card type details. If necessary:
a)Change the credit type name.
b)Select/unselect the CVV2 checkbox.
3.Click on Update.

To delete a credit card type from the list of credit card types supported by your store:

1.In the 'Edit Credit Card Types' form find the card type you would like to delete.
2.Select the check box next to this credit card type. Use the Check all / Uncheck all links to select/unselect all the boxes on the page.
3.Click on Delete selected.
