Shop Configuration


On this page you can set up your billing and currency settings for your Shop.

Invoice Prefix:- Choose a Prefix to add to the beginning of your invoice numbers. For instance, if you are running a business called "Web Hosting Company" you may want your invoice numbers to begin with WHC (e.g. WHC123, WHC124, etc). In this instance you would enter WHC in this field.

Invoice Suffix:- Choose a Suffix to append to the end of your invoice numbers. For instance, if you are running a business called "Web Hosting Company" you may want your invoice numbers to ens with WHC (e.g. 123WHC, 124WHC, etc). In this instance you would enter WHC in this field.

Payment Authorisation:- Select the type of authorisation you want to perform on users who are submitting credit card payments through Helm. If you choose "None", then no authorisation checks will be done in the gateway when a payment is made. If you choose "First", then authorisation will only take place the first time a customer makes a payment. If you choose "All", then every payment submitted through Helm will be authorised against the payment gateway.

Enable Pro Rata Billing:- If you want to enable Pro Rata billing, check this box. Pro Rata billing

Default Pro Rata Day of Month:- If Pro Rata billing is enabled, then you will need to choose the day that Pro Rata payments will be taken each month. You can either pick a specific day (between the 1st and the 28th of the month) or use the day of the signup as the Pro Rata day.

Add Recurring Transactions:- Choose the number of days before a due payment that new transactions should be added to accounts. For example, if this is set to '30' days then customers will have renewal fees appear in their billing 30 days before their due date. This allows customers to have plenty of time to make a payment before a deadline.

Currency Symbol:- Choose a currency that this shop will use.

Currency Position:- Choose where the currency symbol will appear on prices.

Number of Decimal Places:- Choose the number of decimal places that you want to display prices up to.
