Skipjack

The Skipjack payment gateway is very simple to setup.  There are no additional software requirements besides having AbleCommerce installed.  To enable SkipJack you will need to provide both the HTML and the developer serial numbers given to you with your merchant account.

Skipjack Processing Features

AbleCommerce supports all the standard features of the payment gateway.  In addition, there are additional services such as recurring billing and fraud protection which can be added to your account.  For more information on the services and features available, visit Skipjack

  • Authorize - where the cardholder's funds are verified as available and set aside for the pending transaction.  

  • Capture - a full or partial transfer of funds from the cardholder's pending authorization to the merchant.

  • Partial Capture - where you can capture additional funds on what remains of the pending authorization.

  • Void Authorization - when the pending authorization of funds is canceled. This does not refund a payment.

  • Refund - when funds have been transferred to the merchant, and a full or partial refund is returned to the cardholder.  

  • Partial Refund - where multiple refunds to the customer are possible.  

  • Recurring Billing - where the recurring billing feature within your gateway is initiated by AbleCommerce.  Skipjack maintains the billing and notifications after the initial order is placed.

At this time, multi-currency is not a supported feature of AbleCommerce's Skipjack integration.  All amounts will be in USD.

Post-order Processing

All AbleCommerce payment gateway integrations offer full support for post-order processing.  This means that after an order is placed, you can authorize, capture, refund, and void transactions from the AbleCommerce order administration area.

Some post-order processing features, such as refunds, may require that you enable credit card storage from the Security > System Settings page.
