Payment Fields for Payment Methods

Each payment method requires different information. When an end user adds a payment method to an order, the Payment Details form, which appears after the Payment Lines list, shows the appropriate fields for that payment method.

The available buttons on the form also change, to reflect the appropriate actions for that payment type. For example, a cash payment does not need to be authorized or settled, while a credit card payment does.
