Configuration Parameters

To configure the Transact e-commerce, go to your website's admin tool (/admin). Click on the folder tab, then choose Configure the Transact e-commerce.
SalesMaster: The e-mail address where purchases will be sent. This must match the e-mail address in the recipient's PGP Public Key.
Mail Program: Select your mail program if listed. If not, determine whether your program accepts the PGP/MIME standard, or the rather broken method of simply embedding PGP directly in the message body.
Shipping and Handling Charges
COD Cost: Indicate a price (####.##) that will be added to all C.O.D. orders.
Don't include the $ sign.
Overseas Shipping Charge: Indicate a standard charge (####.##) applied to all orders outside the United States & Canada.
Don't include the $ sign.
Taxes
States: Select the states (or District of Columbia) in which you have a business sales license, so that taxes can be properly calculated.
Purchase Management Options
Track Inventory: If this is enabled, all products purchases are validated against available inventory. Successful purchases are subtracted from Inventory. Back-order purchases are put on hold.
Track Shipping Status: If enabled, customers can check back to the site to verify shipping status of their orders. A sub-option provides for e-mail notification of items shipped.
Confirmation E-Mail: If enabled, customers will receive an e-mail confirming their order, including the tracking number.
Payment Authorization Options
Reject AVS Mismatch: If this is enabled, credit authorizations will be rejected if the client's address and zip code don't match their credit card info. This is a Feature!. Credit companies will often hold merchants liable if they don't verify this information.
Authorization Test Mode: If this is enabled, all credit card and electronic check authorizations performed are done in test mode. The authorization is actually done by the Authorization Service, but it is a placebo auth with no actual charge to the card.
Really only useful for testing new development or resolving problems.
