You may use PayPal and/or Amazon Payments as your payment processor/checkout system/s. Your checkout method/s will also serve as your order managment system. You will receive order confirmation emails from the selected checkout system when your customer places the order, and will be able to view & manage these orders from within your PayPal or Amazon account. The shipping method (and, of course, fee) that your customer selects in our cart is passed along and becomes part of the customer's order. PayPal Checkout PayPal acts in a dual role. For those customers who have PayPal accounts, they may choose to pay for their order using their PayPal funds. In this role, PayPal is a payment method. For those customers who do not have a PayPal account, they may pay for their order with a major credit card. In this role, PayPal is a payment processor, providing a gateway to process the credit card payment. By using PayPal with AuctionInc, you are offering your customers both a way to process payments and an additional way to pay. There is no setup or monthly charge for establishing a PayPal business account. You only pay a small commission when a sale occurs. PayPal's commission fee is highly competitive with other online processors. To use Paypal as an AuctionInc Checkout method, you need only to know your PayPal account email address. You may change it at any time on our Checkout Settings page. PayPal also allows you to indicate specific pages you may have on your site to send your customer to after a successful or cancelled order. These are entirely optional; AuctionInc will use your site URL as a default. For those of you familiar with PayPal's integration technologies, we use "Website Payments Standard" to integrate with your PayPal account with our cart. PayPal offers the ability to set up a "sandbox" account. This account allow you to test the checkout process without creating real orders. If you have established a sandbox account for either and would like to use it before you have put our cart "live" on your site (by adding our "Add to Cart" buttons to live pages on your site), you may configure AuctonInc to use your appropriate sandbox account on our Payments Information page, once you have completed this setup wizard. Be sure to change your configuration back to "live" when you are done testing! Amazon Payments Amazon Payments is fast becoming as widely popular as PayPal for processing cart payments, and no surprise. Many millions of online shoppers already have an Amazon account, making checkout quick and easy, and Amazon has a very well-deserved reputation for excellent service for both sellers and buyers. Just like PayPal, a free business account is all that is necessary to offer Amazon Payments, and commision rates are also very similar to PayPal. There are no setup or monthly charges. One difference between PayPal and Amazon payments is that Amazon does not directly process credit cart payments for shoppers without Amazon accounts; for this reason we recommend that you always offer PayPal along with Amazon Payments. Like PayPal, Amazon Payments is mobile-aware. Security and fraud protection are as good as they get. The Amazon Checkout & Order Management Flow
