NetSuite is a cloud-based software suite that provides businesses with a range of tools for managing their financials, operations, and customer relations. One of the features of NetSuite is its credit card processing capability, which allows businesses to accept and process credit card payments from customers in a secure and efficient manner.
To use NetSuite credit card processing feature, you’ll need to set up a merchant account with a payment gateway provider. A payment gateway is a service that securely processes credit card transactions on behalf of a merchant. Once you’ve set up your merchant account and payment gateway, you can configure NetSuite to use them for processing credit card payments.
Here are the steps for setting up credit card processing in NetSuite:
- Choose a payment gateway provider and sign up for a merchant account. Some popular options for payment gateway providers include Authorize.net, Stripe, and PayPal.
- Set up your payment gateway account and obtain the necessary credentials, such as your API keys and account ID.
- In NetSuite, go to Setup > Company > Enable Features. Scroll down to the “SuiteCommerce Advanced” section and select the “Credit Card” checkbox.
- Go to Setup > Company > Credit Card Gateways. Click “New” and select the payment gateway provider you are using. Enter the necessary credentials and any other required information.
- To accept credit card payments on your website, you’ll need to install the payment gateway’s integration script on your website. This script enables your website to securely transmit credit card information to the payment gateway for processing.
- In NetSuite, go to Setup > Website > Web Site Setup. Scroll down to the “Payment Methods” section and select the “Credit Card” checkbox. Enter the necessary information for the payment gateway you are using.
