How do I create a payment profile?

Profiles are located under Items >> Profiles. Any profiles that you create will be available on this page. Create a new Payment profile by clicking on the "Payment" tab and then the “New” button.

Once a Payment profile is created, it can be selected when using “Create Items”.

Payment Profile
You can use payment profiles to define the payment methods you offer, as well as your payment policies for all available markets.

Profile Name
It is important to create descriptive profile names so you can easily identify them in the menu. For example, if you name your Payment profiles “PayPal Only” and “PayPal and Authorize", you will know at a glance which profile to use when you want to use only PayPal, and which to use when
you want to offer PayPal and Authorize.net Payments. If you have not created profiles yet, you can create, name and save profiles as you create your items, or you can create all of your initial profiles ahead of time under My Items>Profiles (recommended).

Payment Types Accepted
For each payment type accepted, select a payment type from the drop-down menu, enter the appropriate account information, and any specific instructions to the buyer. Note that you need to have a payment gateway account such as Payflow Pro (Verisign/PayPal) or Authorize.net, and a merchant account to accept direct credit card payments.

Add Another Payment Method
To add additional payment methods, click on the Add Another Payment Method button and fill out any required fields.

For example, Authorize.net requires an Account Name, API Login ID (User name), and Transaction Key (Password).

Optionally, you can check to require CVV (which is the three-digit credit card code on the back of the credit card) and/or you can opt to require AVS, which is address verification (a buyer will be unable to pay for the item unless the address matches his/her credit card billing address).

Payment Information Details
You can use the Payment Information Details section to enter payment instructions for your buyers. For example, if you accept checks, you should enter the address where you will receive the payments so the buyer can complete the transaction. Please note that payment related rules and regulations in each marketplace may vary, so you may need to adjust the settings for different marketplaces.

Payment Policy
The payment policy information does not currently appear anywhere publicly, but it will eventually be added as a field that will appear in eBay and Vendio Store listings.

Adjust These Settings for eBay
The eBay market has payment options which are eBay specific. If you are launching an item to eBay or plan to do so in the future, you will need to adjust the payment types defined above to match the eBay marketplace requirements.

eBay View of Payment Types
Because eBay restricts and/or requires certain payment types, eBay View of Payment Types will allow you to define which payment options will be visible on your eBay listings and during checkout from eBay. For example, eBay no longer allows paper-based payments such as check or Money Order to be accepted in certain categories, and also requires that all listings include at least one electronic payment option. You may wish to remove some of your accepted payment types from the “Payment Types Accepted” list above, or add an additional payment type, only when listing on eBay. To remove an accepted payment type only for eBay, uncheck the check box in front of that payment type in the list that appears. To add additional payment methods that you may not offer in other markets, select “Add a payment type just for eBay”. Just be sure that the payment types you enter are allowed on eBay.

If you meet eBay’s selling requirements and wish to require PayPal immediate payment, select the check box for “Require Immediate Payment”.
