Establishing an Online Store

Overview

Your website supports full e-commerce functionality through our eCommerce Add-on and a compatible online payment processor. This allows you to sell products, calculate shipping and taxes, and securely process orders directly from your site.


Requirements

To establish an online store, you will need:

  • An Online Payment Processor – to securely process customer payments.

  • The eCommerce Add-on – to provide your shopping cart, customer management, and store administration tools.


Online Payment Processors

Your store can be configured to use one of the following supported gateways:

Authorize.Net (Recommended)

  • Requires API Login ID and Transaction Key

  • Supports both test and live environments

  • Allows immediate processing or authorization-only transactions

Intuit QuickBooks Payments

  • Requires Client ID and Client Secret

  • Integrates with QuickBooks accounts via OAuth

  • Supports test and production modes

  • Includes one-click connect/disconnect options

PayPal

  • Choose between PayPal Standard or PayPal Payflow

  • Requires Client ID and Secret Key (Standard) or Partner/Merchant credentials (Payflow)

  • Supports sandbox and live transactions

  • Offers customizable payment button styles

Square Payments

  • Requires App ID, Location ID, and Access Token

  • Supports sandbox and live environments

  • Processes payments immediately (no authorization-only mode)


Invoice-Only Checkout

If you do not wish to accept payments online, you can enable the Invoice Me option.
Customers will check out as usual but will not enter payment details.
The system emails an invoice (showing items, shipping, and total) to both the customer and store manager.
Payment can then be made by mail or phone.
There is no additional fee for this option.


eCommerce Add-on

The eCommerce Add-on is available for a one-time $250 setup fee plus $20/month, and includes:

  • Secure shopping cart and customer login area

  • Live shipping rates from UPS, USPS, and FedEx (via ShipEngine)

  • Customer and order management tools

  • Sales tax configuration by location

  • Promotions and coupon management

  • Sales reports with charts and exports

  • Customizable store and checkout settings
