All payment providers have payment methods, such as credit cards, PayPal or iDEAL transfers. Available payment methods vary by location and payment provider. You can enable or disable them according to your needs.

Condition

Before you can manage payment methods, you must first add a payment provider.

Instructions

  1. Select Settings in your eCom administrator.

  2. Select Payment providers.

  3. Select a payment provider.

  4. Scroll down to PAYMENT METHODS.

  5. Enable or disable payment methods. See below when you should enable or disable them.

  6. Select Save.

Next steps

  • We recommend verifying that your changes were successful by testing your checkout.

  • If a payment method has additional fees that you need to charge your customers, add additional fees and settings.

When to enable

Enable payment providers when:

  • you have confirmed with the payment provider that you can offer this payment method. What you can offer sometimes depends on your contract with your payment provider.

  • you configure a payment provider for the first time. Depending on the payment provider, you must choose at least one to show the payment provider in the checkout.

When to turn off

You can disable a payment method at any time. This will remove the option from the checkout. This is useful if a payment provider is temporarily down due to maintenance work. As a result, your customers will no longer see the problematic option until you can restore the payment method.
