Restricting payment methods to PayPal only

If you want to switch to accepting payment through PayPal Checkout Express only for public users, you can easily reconfigure iMIS so that the Payment Creator allows payment through PayPal alone.

Note: These steps will restrict payment methods to PayPal alone only for public users. Staff users will still see other payment methods as defined in AR/Cash > Set up tables > Cash accounts.

To change cash accounts to support PayPal only

To achieve PayPal-only payments, you need to configure iMIS so that PayPal is the only web-enabled cash account. Here is a quick way to achieve this for public users without deleting any existing credit card accounts:

  1. Go to System Setup > Module setup > General configuration.
  2. For Credit card prefix, change the default value PAYPAL to another, such as Z_PAYPAL.

    3. This has the effect of hiding all of your existing cash accounts from the Payment Creator.

  3. In Desktop, go to AR/Cash > Set up tables > Cash accounts.
  4. Add a cash account that is a copy of your PAYPAL account, named Z_PAYPAL.

    5. This new account must point to your existing PAYPALEC authorization account.

  5. View your site and add an item to the cart to verify that Payment Creator is hiding the credit card options.

Note: To re-enable credit card processing, simply repeat the first two steps and restore the value.
