Payments

The payments tool allows an administrator to manage the payment methods availabe to customers on the website, and which payment processor should be used to service authorizations, bills and credits. If your site is using one of the 3rd party Payment Provider Plugins, this tool allows you to also configure the access credentials for the staging and production environments as well as the various options provided by the specific plugin.
