Choosing the type of payment order to generate
There are 3 types of payment orders depending on the options activated in your store:
- Payment: in this case, the payment order is sent with a single payment proposal. The buyer simply makes their payment.
- Payment with a request to register the buyer’s payment method: in this case, when entering their card data, the buyer will see a checkbox that will offer to memorize their card to facilitate future payments. They can accept or refuse.
- Payment with payment method recording: in this case the payment gateway stores the buyer’s card data at the end of the payment. An alias is associated with this card to allow the buyer to pay in the future without having to enter card data.
For more information on use cases, see the Payments by token and recurring payments guide in the online document archive.
If in Type generated by default you have selected the display preferences (see Personalize my order creation path), then the payment orders will be generated with this payment type.
If the preference Offer the choice of the type of order to be generated during its creation is activated (see Personalize my order creation path), the 3 types of payment orders will always be proposed during the creation of the order. You will need to enable one of the three payment order types before you can send the link to your client. The Type generated by default will be selected.
