    SaveCreditCardNumberInDatabase If you select this checkbox, the customer's credit card will be saved encrypted in the OrderPayment table. If false, the credit card number field will be left blank. We recommend selecting the checkbox, only if you cannot charge the credit card immediately, because the shipments take a number of days (or more). In this case, you will need the credit card number in the database, so that you can charge the card when the shipment is delivered.

    This checkbox is deselected by default.
    BypassPaymentProcessing Select this checkbox, only if you want to test the checkout process without using a payment processor. This way you do not have to configure a payment processor, such as Authorize.Net or PayPal Payflow Pro.
    ShippingFromCountryConfig Enter the ISO code of the country from which your products will be shipped.
    For example, US or DE.
    This setting is required for the Checkout widget to work properly. Without the country of shipping, the shipping costs cannot be calculated.
    ShippingFromStateProvinceConfig If the ShippingFromCountry is not US, leave this field blank. Otherwise enter the sate code.
    ShippingFromZipConfig Enter the ZIP code of the place from which your products will be shipped.
    This setting is required for the Checkout widget to work properly. Without the ZIP, the shipping costs cannot be calculated.
