Add and Edit Payment Methods
73
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.

Some payment processors will allow you to specify a script to be run on successful completion of a
payment. Such a script could be used to automatically update the order status in VirtueMart so that
you don’t have to manually tie up all of your online receipts with your product orders.
Another advantage of this process is that when you're selling downloadable files, you don't have to set
the Order Status that enables the Download (this sends out the Download-ID email) manually. This
is done automatically by the script.
