<li>
Proceed to configure payment method options available on this page (see <a href="#beyond-pay-for-gravity-forms-configuration-settings" rel="nofollow ugc">screenshot</a>):
<ul>
<li>Enable Test Mode – controls whether transactions are sent to the Test/Sandbox or the Live/Production Beyond Pay Gateway environment and which type of API keys are expected; defaults to Live</li>
<li>PublicKey, PrivateKey, Username, Password, MerchantCode, and MerchantAccountCode – these are the credentials by which the plugin authenticates to the Beyond Pay Gateway in order to process payments; for Test Mode, you can <a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=Q9V6UxGq3USJSkGsz2Jk7yRG7q939HJFkFXKp4lfZo1UMVBQWVNYSFBBNzJEV1k4Uko5WUU2NllBSCQlQCN0PWcu" rel="nofollow ugc">request Beyond Pay Gateway sandbox API keys</a> while live credentials are provided by Beyond once the merchant processing account is approved</li>
<li>Transaction Mode – controls how authorizations and payment captures are managed</li>
<li>Set this to Authorization to perform only an authorization (“pre-auth”) when the form is submitted, which requires the Capture Payment button on the Gravity Forms “Entries” page be clicked in order for the payment to be captured (usually when an order is shipped)</li>
<li>Set this to Sale to authorize and capture the payment immediately (usually used for donations, registration forms, or digital purchases)</li>
<li>Level II/III Data – controls which extended data elements are automatically sent with transaction requests in order to <a href="https://www.getbeyond.com/b2b-payments/" rel="nofollow ugc">optimize interchange rates on B2B cards</a>; Level II includes reference number and tax amount, while Level III includes line-item details. Set to Level III to ensure you always qualify for the best rates on eligible corporate purchasing cards. (Tax-exempt transactions are not eligible for Level II interchange rates but may be eligibile for Level III.)</li>
<li>Advanced Styling – allows for customized styling of the Beyond Pay card collection iframe via CSS</li>
</ul>
