From now on, customers will be able to choose Online Payment (Nexi Italia) and proceed to pay for their order either immediately after placing it or after the order is confirmed by a manager, depending on the online payment mode enabled on the site.


​Online payment modes

Your website can operate with one of the following two online payment modes:

  • Instant — when the customer selects card payment, they are immediately redirected to the payment system page upon clicking the Proceed to checkout button.

  • With pre-moderation — in this case, the customer receives a payment link only after the manager confirms the order.

A unique payment link is generated for each order by the payment system.

In the general order table, the manager can quickly copy the payment link to send to the customer if the order wasn't paid immediately.

If pre-moderation is enabled for online payments, the link is generated after clicking the Send payment link button. Once generated, the link can be copied and sent to the customer again if needed.
