5.12. Payment Methods
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 ‘List Payment
Methods’ from the ‘Store’ menu.
