The area of payment processing can get a bit complicated, and it might be best to leave this to your web designer to sort out if possible. If you are able to use one of the payment processing companies that are already supported by VirtueMart, it will make life a lot easier (you will need to sign-up with a payment processor yourself – the program won’t do that for you!). You can see the options available by clicking on the List Payment Methods icon on the store summary, or by selecting from the menu.
It is possible to create a new payment method (there is a ‘New’ toolbar button), but you may to hack the VirtueMart code in order to make use of it (not for the faint-hearted!)
The configuration options for each payment method are different – depending on what is required by that payment service provider. Usually your payment service provider will give you some kind of code, key, or user name which needs to be entered in the Payment Method Editor.
The Payment Method Editor consists of 2 tabs – the first of which you will probably not need to touch. The next Figure shows the 2nd tab (‘Configuration’), which varies depending on the payment service provider, and the example shown here is for WorldPay.
