Configure SmartSpace E-Store

Go to Control Panel > Payment Settings (Grey Action Bar)

Complete the configuration details as required:

• Account Verified:  Only tick this box when PayPal has independently verified a PayPal account.  You can also use this field to disable your shopping cart, even when you have a verified PayPal account;
  • When configuring Direct Payment options, please list the options separated by commas, and no gap in between each option,
  • In the Payment Text completely explain to users what needs to be done to carry out each of the listed payment options,
  • SmartSpace will provide a reference number on completion of the transaction and will send an email to them with all these details as well,
  • The referecne number consists of your Trader Id and the Account Id.
• PayPal Style:  In PayPal you can set up various styles in your account.  If you are wishing to use one of these styles for your E-Store, insert the identical style name here.
• Alternate Email:  By default, SmartSpace uses your Trader contact email as your PayPal email ID.  If your contact email and PayPal email are different, insert the required email address here.  This email address must be registered in PayPal,
  • If you are not using PayPal, insert the email address that you wish to use for payment notification.
• Tax Rate:  This is the tax rate which will be applied if a product is to be taxed and accounted for in SmartSpace.  Insert the value here (e.g. 10 = 10%).
• Default Tax Status:  If tax applies to your products, you can apply the tax on your product pages or let PayPal apply the tax later.  This can be useful if your tax only applies in one country.  You can specify what countries tax applies in your PayPal profile.  This setting presets the tax setting for each product created but individual products can be changed.
• Delivery Charges:  You can use either SmartSpace or PayPal to set up delivery charges.  This is done separately in either system, but you must configure this to ensure delivery is charged correctly if applicable.
• Basket Summary:  You can show a one, two or three line Shopping Basket summary on all pages of your website.
  • One Line: Basket Icon, Link and number of items in the basket.
  • Two Line:  Basket Icon, Link, and Number of items on one line and Basket value on the second line.
  • Three Line:  Number of items on one line, Basket value on the second line, and separate link on the third line.
  • Please note that not all Website Templates support all selections.
• Minimum Purchase:  The minimum amount that needs to be put into the shopping cart before a purchase can be made by a user.
• Custom Images and Text:  You can customise your Basket by uploading and inserting the links of the listed images or adding text;
  • By placing the URL of an image an image will appear, however, if it is just plain text, the text will appear on the button instead of the default text,
  • You will need to upload these images separately in the SmartSpace Content Manager.  We strongly advise you save these images in an album named "buttons".
  • Header Image:  This image will appear on the top of PayPal processing page.  The size should be no larger than 750px x 90px otherwise it may be cropped on PayPal.
    • You cannot use plain text for this field - it must be an image held on the secure Smartspace website (begins with https://smartimagehq.com/).
  • Buy Now:  The button that takes you to PayPal checkout for payment.
  • Add To Basket:  This button appears on the product page and adds the selected product to the Shopping Basket.
  • Update Basket:  This button appears in the Shopping Basket and updates any changes made to the Basket contents.  Sometimes, for baskets that have been created some time ago, you may have to click this button before a Buy Now button appears (in case prices have changed).
  • Basket Name:  To ensure that your Basket terminology is consistent with custom buttons, you can insert the required terminology (e.g. Cart, Trolley etc.).
• Service Rules:  You can ensure that purchasers agree to your purchase conditions by attaching specified content to your Basket.  You create this content in the Service Rules content category in the Content Manager;
  • For clubs without a  Content Manager, you set up the service rules at Database Manager > System Selections > Service Rules,
  • You can add the Service Rules later if they have not been set up when creating the Payment Settings for the first time.

Ensure that you save this configuration even if you have not completed all aspects of your set up.  You can come back at any time and edit these settings.
