To activate the LinkPoint gateway:

Click Settings tab, followed by Payment submenu option. |

Check the box next to LinkPoint to display the configuration options (as follows). |

Enable LinkPoint Module: It should already be set to Yes; if not, please do so now. |
4 |
Payment Display Text: This is the label that appears during checkout. By default, it's labeled as, "LinkPoint". To make it more customer-friendly, we suggest changing it to "Credit Card", or a descriptive phrase such as, "We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express." |
5 |
LinkPoint Authorization Mode: Select "Pre-authorization" if you prefer to use the Authorization Hold method whereby the customer's credit card is validated and funding is held, but not finalized until a later time (for example, when you ship the item). Select "Immediate-authorization" if you prefer to finalize the credit card charge upon purchase. |
