Payment and shipping options are two main things you need to configure while managing your online store. <\/p>\r\n
NOTE: We do not provide support<\/a> for shipping and payment methods, one should contact corresponding e-commerce communities or payment gateway providers <\/strong> for assistance. <\/p>\r\n Each e-commerce engine has several default built-in payment systems. The additional methods can be added via third-party modules or scripts. <\/p>\r\n IMPORTANT!<\/strong> – How to choose the payment module: The quality of the Payment module is very important. Make sure the module has been around for a while, it is widely used and tested. New extensions will have a lot of glitches in most cases. The checkout is the most critical part of any e-commerce site, that is why we recommend checking the following aspects:<\/p>\r\n Fraud detection.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n E-commerce backend and payment services provider (PSP) admin panel configuration.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Multi-currency and multi-language options. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n How well integrated it is with alternative payment methods (e.g. ELV, Vorkasse, etc.).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Refunds management from e-commerce admin’s order section.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Possibly store payment details (on the PSP) to provide faster checkout to returning customers, using tokenisation<\/a> technology.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Clear payment details recorded on backend, in order to avoid having customer service rep jumping from E-commerce admin to the PSP’s admin panel.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Easy to set up and manage a test account, for your test site. That will help you to configure the payment method and be sure that all orders are processing correctly.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n Detailed logs, to make troubleshooting easy. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n One should note that developers of commercial payment extensions provide usually much more complete and qualified support than the free ones. It is recommended contacting a required gateway support beforehand to find our whether the module exists and how it should be configured. <\/p>\r\n In this article we will compare the main items of these options from the most popular e-commerce platforms<\/a>: osCommerce<\/a>, Shopify<\/a>, Magento<\/a>, PrestaShop<\/a>, VirtueMart<\/a>, Woocommerce<\/a>, ZenCart <\/a>and OpenCart<\/a>. <\/p>\r\n We grouped the e-commerce platforms basing on their popularity and functionality.
