How do I set up receipts and checkout protection?

In this story

Where: Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Payments

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/connections/payments (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Before you start

  • Only the owner can save changes.
  • Receipts are sent through your email provider. Connect email first.

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Readers & money → Connections → Payments → Checkout & receipts.
  2. Turn Email receipts and invoices on or off.
  3. Turn Check payments every night on. This compares your orders with the gateway and fixes missed updates. Pick the Time of the nightly check.
  4. Turn Check that buyers are human on to stop bots testing stolen cards.
  5. Set Failed payments allowed per hour from one address (1 to 100). After that many failures, the address must wait an hour.
  6. Press Save changes.

Good to know

  • Before anything is saved, the form shows receipts on, the nightly check on at 3 o'clock, the human check on and 10 failures allowed per hour.
