Sales Payment Options

This section of the Admin Control Panel allows the administrator to manage how Sales Invoices are generated and if those Sales Invoice should be automatically processed. This area also contains a "Process Payments" button so the administrator can manually process all Sales Invoices.

Auto Generate Invoices - If enabled, the sale will immediately be added to a new or existing invoice when a purchase, an accepted offer or a winning bid is finalized. When enabled, the Allow Instant Checkout setting that individual sellers set from their My Account > Listing Preferences > Payment page will be disabled as an option – As soon as an invoice is automatically generated, a buyer can checkout with any payment service the seller account has configured.

Auto Charge Credit Cards - This setting allows for automatically charging the card on file of the buyer for invoices that are unpaid.

  • Off - Credit cards will NOT be automatically charged.
  • Immediately - The card on file will automatically be charged when the invoice is automatically created.
  • Daily - Once per day the card on file will be charged for each unpaid sales invoice, at the specified time.

Process Payment(s) - Clicking this button will attempt to batch process all sales invoices with a balance due.

Credit Card Fees

Note

Only one can be selected. Automatic Surcharge is better for sites where buyers always pay by credit card. Optional Credit Card Fee is better for sites where buyers only sometimes pay by credit card and other times pay by cash.

Optional Credit Card Fee - When enabled, Sellers will be able to optionally add a "Credit Card Fee" to sales invoices. When enabled by the seller, their invoices will have this fee added if paid by credit card. If the seller does not accept cash this fee will automatically be added to the invoice.

Automatic Surcharge - When enabled, all sales invoices will have this fee automatically added.

Surcharge Percent - The rate used to calculate the "Surcharge" amount; applies to the final invoice total including item prices, shipping, taxes and any other fees or adjustments.
