1. Merchant/Admin Email

This is the Merchant email that will be sent through to the payment gateway. It may not be the same as your site email. For example if your site email is admin@mydomain.com and you have used a different email for billing such as billing@mydomain.com then you should use the “billing” email address. You may use comma separated email addresses for multiple recipients e.g., billing@mydomain.com, info@mydomain.com, sales@mydomain.com.

Any URL (page, post, category, etc.) on the current WordPress blog. This URL is used for redirects, data posting and other functionality. Ensure that this URL is on the same installation.

5. Currency Symbol Position

This allows you to select whether the currency symbol will appear in front of the amount ($5.00) or behind the amount (5.00$). By default it is set to “Before“. Click on the unselected radio button to change it.

6. Decimal Separator

The default is set to “.” (period). You can change this to another symbol such as a “,” or any other single character to differentiate the decimal (cents, pence) etc for your pricing which is displayed to customers.
