Thanks to this new feature, you will be able to configure the layout of the payment mode selection page from the SecuTix back-end, from instance by defining the grouping of payment methods, the order in which they are displayed, or some additional description.
Solution
Defining groups of payment methods
You will be able to define groups of payment methods in the new menu entry:
Following information may be entered for a given group:
The list of payments screen has been extended in order to display the group to which a payment method belongs:
A payment method doesn't need to be assigned to a group. It can't be assigned to multiple groups.
Display on the Ticket Shop
As before, the selection of the payment method occurs in two steps:
On the first page, the internet user chooses between the on-line payment methods (handled by the SecuTix payment gateway that will call external payment service providers) and the methods managed internally by SecuTix.
If the internet user selects the on-line payment methods (first option on page above), the new payment method selection page will be displayed.
The page displays:
- The groups of payment methods sorted by the rank of the group
- The payment methods that don't belong to a defined group are displayed in a "default" group displayed after the groups that have been set-up explicitly. Inside that group, the payments methods are sorted by the rank stored in the additional information list defined at payment method level
- For a given group, the page displays:
- The external name of the group
- The description of the group
- The list of payment methods belonging to the group. The payments are sorted according to their order in the group (see Define groups of payment methods section above).
- If the additional information list contains multiple entries, each entry will be displayed as if it was a separate payment method.
The internet user selects a payment method by clicking on its logo. He can then enter the details of the selected payment method:
This detail will depend on the payment method. The internet user may close a payment method group at any moment by clicking on the arrow in the upper right corner.
Grouping payment methods directly managed by SecuTix
The payment method selection page described here concerns only the on-line payment methods (handled by the SecuTix payment gateway that will call external payment service providers). As a result, setting-up groups containing other payment methods, like payment by pending account or direct debit won't have any impact on the page layout.
Getting started
You can enable the new payment mode selection page on a given point of sale by enabling the following parameter:
Use of customised payment pages
If you have enabled some customisation, for example through CSS, this customisation may not be compatible with this new feature. Check first on a test environment (using the same customisation) that the layout is OK and, if not, adapt your customisation accordingly.
