Managing Merchants in PhotoBiz
The MERCHANTS section in your PhotoBiz control panel is where you set up the payment methods you want to accept across your account. Merchants are used for ECommerce, Client Galleries, Forms, Scheduler, and Invoicing. Your active primary gateway and PayPal (if added) will be available for any checkout option you enable.
PhotoBiz supports both online and offline payment methods, but only one primary credit card gateway can be active at a time.
Important: Offline payment methods cannot be used for Forms or Invoicing.
Choosing a Payment Gateway
You can offer multiple payment options in ECommerce, but only one primary credit and debit card gateway may be active at once.
Available online payment gateways include:
-
Stripe
-
Square
-
Authorize.net
-
iTransact
-
PayJunction
-
Payflow Pro
-
PayPal
Offline payment methods—such as checks, cash, Zelle, or other manual payment arrangements—can be added for ECommerce and Client Galleries but are not supported for Forms or Invoicing.
Your merchant provider allows you to accept credit and debit card payments and process refunds for qualifying orders.
PRO TIP!
Your merchant provider will allow you to accept credit and debit card payments as well as process refunds on orders.
