Arlo allows you to accept payments and make refunds by credit card through the Arlo Shopping Cart. PxPay 2.0 is an independent e-commerce solution provided by Windcave (formerly Payment Express) that integrates directly with Arlo. You can choose to have clients directed to a Windcave payment page or embed the payment page as an iFrame into your checkout.
Using a Hosted Payment Page to accept sensitive card data, PxPay2.0 provides a financially secure and compliant solution without exposing merchants to sensitive information.
The following diagram illustrates the payment process for an order placed through your website where payment is by credit card.
Windcave requires you to have a merchant account with one of their approved providers. View a list of the approved providers within your region.
You can check the Merchant Activation guide to get an indication on what Windcave will require from your particular bank.
The following process outlines the steps needed to create the necessary Windcave account to integrate with Arlo.

The following process outlines the steps to enable the integration between Arlo and your Windcave account.
- Open the Settings menu item.

- Press Add payment method.
- Select Credit card.

Your PxPay password is the 64 character key that Windcave has provided, not your Windcave login password.
- Choose if all orders should be approved automatically (even if a payment fails) or only when payments have been successful in your Payment details settings.
- In the Payment due dates section, select a Set order date using setting and a Payment due setting. These are used in the event that the payment is not successfully processed.
- Ensure the payment method is available for registrants on your website checkout.
If you do not tick this, the payment method will be available internally only.
- (Optional) Choose a custom Payment label. If you add a label, it will still display the default payment name (Credit Card), with the label added to the end of the default name within Arlo. e.g. Credit card [WindCave]. It will be displayed as Windcave on your checkout.
- Choose the payment messages to be displayed on the checkout when the payment method is selected.
- Scroll to the top of the page and press Save or Save and Close.
