Payments

The following Help Documents are available for both IndieCommerce and IndieLite to assist with the early steps of obtaining or transitioning to the store's own credit card processor and Authorize.net account.  IndieCommerce or IndieLite specific documents and webinars can be found further down on this page.

For All IndieCommerce and IndieLite Stores

The Rules module allows site administrators to create actions that are automatically triggered by various events when certain conditions are met.

3 PARTS TO RULES

Rules are made up of 3 parts:

Getting Started with PayPal

1. Create an business account with PayPal

CANCELING ORDERS

If an order is in a ‘Pending’ or ‘Processing’ state, and an item needs to be removed from the order, or the entire order needs to be canceled, this can be done with store administrator access or order admin access.

Navigate to: Store > Orders > View Orders

• Remove Specific Items

There are many different ‘Payment Methods’ that can be enabled for your website:

Navigate to: Store > Configuration > Payment Methods

A list of available payment methods and those enabled on your site can be verified on the Store Features page (Store > Configuration > Account information and Preferences > Store Features). If you wish to have a particular payment method enabled on your site, you can send us a request from the Store Features page.
 

When a credit card is used to place an order on an IndieCommerce site, the card is authorized for about 4 weeks. Within that time, the card can be charged for the authorized amount on the order. However, there are two scenarios that will require a credit card to be re-authorized:

Givex is a third party company that ABA has partnered with for gift cards. They are the only third-party gift card that integrates with your IndieCommerce website in such a way that it can recognize the Givex card numbers, check the balance on a card, and thereby verify the payment at the time the order is placed.

NEW: As of 10/5 stores are now able to issue partial refunds to Givex Gift Cards (over $5.00) through their IndieCommerce website.

ABA will be transitioning all IndieCommerce stores currently using ABA’s shared credit card processor off of ABA’s merchant account and onto their own credit card merchant account. As part of the process, stores will be required to create their own Authorize.net account. Many merchant service providers will help members with setting up their Authorize.net accounts, so check with the merchant service provider you currently use for in-store sales.
