Customweb just published the latest PrestaShop Payment Module version 2.x. which convinces with numerous novelties bringing several advantages for merchants and customers alike. Compared to the modules available for PrestaShop to this day one can convincingly say that it is the most technically mature and extensive payment module for PrestaShop.

Novelties

The most extensive innovations concern the area of payment processing and transaction management. Besides the already well-known processing via the Payment Page, there are now additional authorisation methods for a seamless integration into your shop. The introduction of the transaction management tool enable the direct handling of payments from the administration interface of your shop.

Payment Page

The Payment Page is the 'classical' method and was already available in the old PrestaShop version. The client is transferred to the PSP's page in order to insert his payment data and then redirected back to your shop after having confirmed the payment.

Hidden Authorisation

In combination with a PSP contract you can now profit from the authorisation via Hidden Authorisation. The option Hidden Authorisation, in comparison to the Payment Page, offers the central advantage that the entire payment process takes place in your shop while the actual transaction occurs in the background between your shop and the authorisation servers of the PSP. There is no redirection and the customer therefore does not notice the external processing. The procedure is complies entirely with PCI-norms.

Server Authorisation

Entirely new is the Server Authorisation method. A direct connection between shop and PSP is set up which allows the processing of payment methods with no PCI-relevant information (above all invoice and direct debit), This also enables a seamless integration of those payment methods into your shop. The payment data is entered in the shop - without redirection.

Alias Manager

A further update is the integration of the Alias Manager (Secure Card Data). With this feature customers can save their credit card under an alias during their first purchase. They thereby no longer have to enter the relevant data during each checkout. This feature is in particular interesting for customers ordering regularly in your shop as it simplifies the payment process to a great extent. Due to the data being stored with Saferpay, which the PCI-compliancy is guaranteed.

Transaction Management:

Besides the extensive Adjustments made in regards to authorisation methods, much time was also invested in the transaction management. The payment processing now is carried out directly from the administration interface of your shop. The following possibilities are at your disposal:

• Capturing: Authorised but not yet captured payments can be captured via the PrestaShop admin and debited from the customer
• Cancellation: Authorised payments can be cancelled with a simple click. You can cancel partial amounts or the entire authorised sum
• Refund: Refunds can be carried out from the shop-system. The module is fully integrated into the refund-process introduced in PrestaShop 1.5. Partial refunds as well as entire refunds are both possible
