Payment Gateway Setup
The payment gateway is the server and software programs the Registration module sends credit card or echeck (ACH) transactions to for processing.
If you do not have a gateway or merchant account setup, please contact Smith Consulting at 949-218-9600. We are certified merchant account and payment gateway resellers. In addition, we offer free setup and configuration of the registration module and payment gateway if you sign up through us.
The following Payment Gateways supported:
- Authorize.Net (AIM)
- PayPal Standard
- Manual Processing (No Gateway) – If you choose this option the module allows the user to complete the registration without processing the credit card through a gateway. The module stores the customer’s registration and credit card information in the database and you can process the credit card transaction at a later time manually through your credit card terminal or virtual terminal.
For more information on Payment Gateways and Recurring Billing features supported in the Business Directory module please see the following link to our payment gateway user guides: Payment Gateway Guide
Test Mode – When checked allows you to submit test transactions to the payment Gateway.

Payment Checkout Option
The show PayPal checkout option allows you to give your customers the option to checkout using PayPal standard in addition to the gateway option that you configured above under gateway settings.
Note: If you have configured PayPal standard under the gateway settings above you should NOT check the show PayPal checkout option checkbox. If you have configured PayPal Websites Payments Pro or PayPal Payflow Pro under the gateway settings above you should ONLY check this box if you want to give your customer the additional option at checkout to pay using PayPal standard.
When the Show PayPal Checkout Option is enabled the following two additional fields depicted in the following screenshot are displayed:
Merchant (Required) – Enter your PayPal email address you created when you signed up with PayPal.
Merchant Logo URL (Optional) – Enter the path to your company logo. Your company logo will show up on the PayPal checkout screen as the user checks out on PayPal.
User Checkout
When “Show PayPal Checkout Option” is checked the user is presented with the option to pay on your website using the payment gateway you configured from the gateway dropdown or checking out on the PayPal website using PayPal Website Payments Standard.
See the following screen of the Directory checkout for an example:
When the user clicks the PayPal radio button the Directory module hides the credit card fields because the user will be entering their credit card information on the PayPal site.
When the user clicks the “Next” button they will be taken to a confirmation page.

Subscription and Recurring Billing
Subscription Length (days) - This field only applies to registrations of one time payments, not recurring. The purpose of this field is to calculate the expiration date for the user's membership and remove them from the DNN role they were added to when registered. The calculation to determine the expiration date is the date the user registered plus the number of days entered in this field. The Directory module will automatically remove the user from the custom role on their expiration date. Subscription Length (days) is for one time payments only and cannot be used with recurring payments. Leave the field blank if you want the user’s membership to your portal to never expire.
Recurring Billing - Check this box is you want to enable recurring billing in the payment Directory module.
Subscription Interval – This dropdown box is where you configure the subscription interval for recurring payments. The options available are weekly, monthly and yearly. For example, if you choose monthly and the user registers on 1/1/09, the first payment will be automatically billed on 1/1/09 at midnight. Their second payment will be billed on 2/1/09 and so on.
Total Occurrences - This setting only applies if you have checked the box for recurring billing above. Enter a numeric value for the number of times that you want the recurring billing to charge the customer. Enter "12" to bill the customer’s card 12 times. Enter "9999" to have the recurring billing continue indefinitely.
