- Setup Payment Module

Next step is to set up payment handling. For this
to happen, you will need a merchant account with a payment handler, e.g.
2checkout.com, ClickBank.com or PayPal. The Payment link is located under
the Modules icon in the administration index page of your osCommerce installation.
A list of payment options will appear. These options
are all included in the default osCommerce installation, but you need
to install a module in order to be able to process payments.

Installation is easy. Just select the vendor you
have an account with your mouse pointer and click the Install button.
When installation is complete, you will notice
that the symbol 0 appears on the row you have selected. In the rightmost
column two buttons will appear: Remove and Edit.

Clicking the second button will allow you to insert
your merchant account details, set your preference for e-mail notifications,
etc.
There are two important choices that have to be
made: one is the Transaction Mode and the other one is Sort order of display.

The Test transaction mode can be used for testing
payment methods or when your store is offline. It is important to switch
to Production mode once your store goes live.
Sort order of display refers to the payment handler
preference: the lower the number - the higher the preference for the particular
module, with 0 representing top choice. Once you click the Update button
to save your changes.
