Payments


From the Payment section of your admin panel, Gossamer Links gives you the ability to set up your Gossamer Links installation to accept payments through online payment service providers. Currently, Gossamer Links can process payments through Authorize.net, WorldPay, PayPal and Moneris.

Basically, in order to set up payment handling, you need to create one or more payment methods. A payment method is simply a way of establishing that certain types of payments should go to a particular payment service provider. For example, setting up your installation to accept Paypal payments would require a Paypal method. Likewise, setting up credit card processing capabilities would also require setting up a payment method. Through the configuration of payment methods, you define how payments may be accepted, and with which online payment service provider those payments are handled.

Beyond the actual processing of payments, there are several options available to you:

Payment Discounts

Multiple links discount levels. You could be able to add as many discount levels as you want.

Renewals

Additionally, you can define seperate renewal payment levels (e.g., when renewing, $30 gets you an additional year, instead of $40 for the initial year).

Recurring payments

You can also configure recurring payments that will automatically be charged to users at specified intervals.
