Using Ecommerce
The Ecommerce product allows organizations to accept online credit card payments in the WebPAC for fees and fines displayed in the patron record display as well as for donations.
Ecommerce requires the following:
- An account with PayPal that supports Hosted Checkout Pages.
- A high bit SSL certificate on the WebPAC (e.g., 128-bit in the United States).
- An Internet merchant account (for example, Merchant eSolutions).
- A non-framed appearance in the patron record display (the first field of the MY_WEBPAC Web option must be set to "false").
- Some setup is required before your organization can offer Ecommerce. For more information, see Setting up Ecommerce with Hosted Checkout Pages.
Express Lane
Express Lane does not support Ecommerce with Hosted Checkout Pages. For information about ecommerce for Express Lane, see Paying Fines with Comprise Ecommerce For Express Lane.

Ecommerce supports single accounts, multiple accounts (such as libraries that maintain a separate account for donations), and multiple accounts for consortia.
You can edit your Ecommerce account parameters, Web options, and customizable Web forms, as needed. For more information, see Setting up Ecommerce with Hosted Checkout Pages.
