FoxyCart Activation and Configuration

FoxyCart is an e-commerce platform that adds a hosted shopping cart and payment page checkout to websites built with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, any other website builder tools, as well as popular programming frameworks for custom site builds.

FoxyCart's integration with the Bank of America Gateway leverages the bank's Card Not Present Integration Toolkit integration method to help meet the Self-Assessment Questionnaire A (SAQ A) Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance level.

Requirements

A Merchant Services account with Bank of America, a live website, and FoxyCart v. 2.0 are required to activate the solution.

If you choose to do testing in the test environment, you will need to configure the payment settings a second time, when you are ready to switch to the live environment.

      Setting	Description
      Authorize only (do not capture funds)	Select this option to capture an authorization-only when an order is placed. If selected, when you are ready to capture the funds, such as when you ship the order, you will need to manually capture the transaction in your Merchant Services account in online banking.
      Card Verification mode	Select a card verification mode. • Enabled, automatically: RECOMMENDED. Select this option to automatically verify a zero dollar amount transaction when a payment method is required (such as future subscriptions). Greater than zero dollar amount transactions will be authorized, or authorized and captured, at the full amount.  • Always and only verify: Recommended only in specific situations, this option will verify the payment method for all transactions where a payment method is required (both zero and greater than zero dollar amount). Payment will not be collected without additional action. • Disabled: Not Recommended. This option will disable payment method verification. • In all cases, a payment method will not be required for "free" transactions, such as if a coupon brings the order total to zero.
