We have prepared a video tutorial for this section @ http://www.whmcs.com/tutorials.php?i=3

Payment gateways can be setup in Setup > Payment Gateways. Each gateway has it’s own specific data requirements in order to process transactions so they will vary from gateway to gateway. However, all gateways have 4 core options:

  • Show on Order Form – Checking this box will mean it can be shown on the order form as an option – subject to product group gateway restrictions
  • Visible Name – The name that is used for this gateway throughout the system and to clients (eg. gateway can be Authorize.net, visible name might be Credit Card)
  • Convert To For Processing – This option is for when using multiple currencies. It is possible that not every gateway you use will accept all the currencies you offer on your site and so for those that don’t, you can choose a currency here for WHMCS to convert to before sending to them. For example if using Google Checkout with a UK account but offering prices in GBP & USD, you would need to select GBP in the Convert To box. This will use the rates set in Config > Currencies to do the conversion which can be set to auto update daily.
Deactivate Gateway
  • Deactivate - Should you no longer wish to use a particular payment gateway clicking the red (Deactivate) link beside its name will gracefully remove the gateway from use thus preventing further payments being made using this method. A popup message will appear prompting selection of a new gateway to which services, domains and unpaid invoices will be assigned, as a result no further payments will be made using the deactivated gateway and any services previously assigned to it will use the new gateway in future.

The following is a list of the payment gateways that are supported. Merchant Gateways store credit card information securely in the WHMCS database whilst Third Party Gateways take the client to the provider's website to enter their payment details. Tokenisation Gateways are a happy medium where repeat billing is possible by storing the original transaction details or a reference number, not the full credit card number, thus reducing your PCI liabilities.
