Which credit-card gateways can CMS Max use?

The current CMS Max card selection supports Authorize.Net, CardPointe, or Stripe, with one provider active for credit-card processing in the tenant. Provider accounts, credentials, services, and acceptance are merchant-specific.

Can CMS Max accept ACH payments?

Yes. Paya is the current native ACH and bank-transfer path and is enabled separately from the selected credit-card provider. It requires the merchant Paya terminal configuration and end-to-end testing.

Can a merchant offer manual or offline payment methods?

Yes. CMS Max can configure active manual methods with a name, details, instructions, and order. Orders remain pending until authorized staff records the payment outcome under the merchant policy.

Does sandbox mode guarantee production readiness?

No. Sandbox proves controlled test cases but cannot replace merchant underwriting, live credentials, production provider behavior, a controlled live transaction, settlement reconciliation, and operational acceptance.

Are payment credentials encrypted?

The current CMS Max settings layer marks sensitive Authorize.Net, CardPointe, PayPal, and Stripe credential fields for encrypted storage. Access control, rotation, provider security, logs, and merchant procedures still matter.

Do all providers support the same void and refund behavior?

No. Actions depend on the provider, transaction state, settlement timing, stored references, amount, credentials, and current implementation. The interface should expose only actions supported for that transaction.

Can the same payment methods be used in checkout and Maxforms?

Not automatically. CMS Max forms currently support the configured card provider family and Paya ACH; PayPal is not a current form payment provider. Test each required context independently.
