Management

In this section we will show you the possibilities of Payment Gateway Allocator For WHMCS. Our module allows you to define the availability of your payment gateways depending on your customers' country or state.

Settings

At the 'Settings' tab you can set up the module's behavior. Configure gateway settings and default redirection rules.

In 'Gateway Settings' select whether you want to allow only the two module gateways: 'Credit Card Per Country / State' and 'Redirect Per Country / State'. Select 'Module Gateway Only' option - then, only the two above mentioned module gateways will be shown as payment options in the client area. 'Apply Switching Rules' - if selected, only gateways allowed by the defined switching rules are allowed in client area as payment methods.

Still, you have to set up 'Default Redirection Rules', no matter which option is selected in 'Gateway Settings'. Choose: 'Default CC Gateway' - it will be used with 'Credit Card Per Country / State' module gateway. 'Default Redirection Gateway' - it will be used with 'Redirect Per Country / State' module gateway. Do not forget to save the changes when ready!

Gateway Switches

'Gateways Switches' tab allows you to define switching rules per payment gateway. You will find there a list of all active gateways in your system.

Creating New Switching Rules

In order to limit access to a selected payment gateway, press '+' button.

Select a country and states (optional). The gateway will be available for clients who do purchases in that region only. Press 'Add' to complete.

Repeat the process for all gateways you wish to limit. Use action buttons to edit rules or delete them.

Payment Gateways On The Order Form

Payment Gateway Allocator For WHMCS affects only client area. Let's take a look how the addon affects the payments process.

Case One: 'Credit Card Per Country / State' and 'Redirect Per Country / State' payment methods have been activated.

In 'Setting' section option 'Module Gateway Only' has been selected together with two default gateways for 'Credit Card' and 'Redirection' payments.

Consequently, client may now choose only between: 'Pay With Credit Card' option - in our case it will be 'SecurePay' gateway. 'Proceed To Payment' option - in our case it will be '2CheckOut' gateway.

Case Two: In another scenario, in 'Settings' section of the module 'Apply Switching Rules' option is selected.

In 'Gateway Switches' section, there is a rule forcing clients from United States to pay with '2CheckOut' payment gateway.

Consequently, client Test Tester, who is from USA, has no choice, but to pay with the enforced by the admin payment gateway.

Case Three: To allow all gateways in the client area, proceed to the addon → 'Settings' page and clear the settings.

Let's check payment options in the client area once again. Now, your clients are able to pay using every active payment gateway. However, when selecting 'Pay With Credit Card' or 'Proceed To Payment' option, client will be redirected to a gateway keeping any switching rules.

If you wish to hide only part of the gateways, for example only those for which switching rules are set, proceed to 'Setup' → 'Payments' → 'Payment Gateways'. Afterwards, uncheck 'Show On Order Form' checkbox next to the desired gateway and press 'Save Changes'. Repeat this step for each gateway you wish to hide from the client area.

Tips

1. If you wish to forbid card payment or redirect payment, deactivate the related gateway in 'Setup' → 'Payments' → 'Payment Gateways'.
