Here you can learn how to create new payment methods and modify the already existing ones in your online store's admin panel.

To create a new shipping method:

  1. In the admin panel, go to Settings > Payment methods.
  2. Click Add payment method.
  3. Select the payment service for transferring payments.

    See the list of supported payment services ›

    The payment service cannot be changed afterwards.

    However, you can change the service while copying the payment method. In this way, you can easily create multiple payment methods with the same settings but different payment services.

  4. At the bottom of the form, enter the payment service's account name and secret key.

    For more information on how to find the credentials, see the selected payment service's help article.

  5. Click Continue.
  6. Define the payment method's settings.

    When necessary, see the description of the settings in the payment method form.

    Make sure that you select all shipping methods for which the payment method should be enabled as well as the store versions in which the payment method should be available.

    Some payment services may have additional settings that can be defined in the payment method form. For more information, see payment services' help articles.

  7. Click Save.
  8. Test the payment method.

    Make sure that the payment method is displayed at checkout and works the way you intended by placing test orders with different shipping methods and in different versions.

  9. Publish the payment method to make it accessible to everyone.

    By default, payment methods are hidden during the creation stage. Payment methods can be published by using the Show in selected store versions setting in payment method details.

The payment method is now ready to be used.

To edit an already existing payment method:

  1. In the admin panel, go to Settings > Payment methods.
  2. From the left-hand pane, open the payment method.
  3. In the upper right corner of the payment method details, click Edit.
  4. Make the necessary changes to the settings, and save the form.

    For the description of the settings in the payment method form, see the next chapter.

The settings in the payment method form

  • Name: the payment method's name is displayed at checkout, so enter an unambiguous name that makes it clear what kind of payment method is in question (e.g. credit card payments).
  • Logo: in the default theme, the payment method's logo is displayed at checkout in the payment method selection menu.
  • Product code: the product code may be required, for instance, by financial management applications. If you're not aware of any external services that you use requiring the product code, leave this field empty.
  • Description: the description is displayed at checkout during payment method selection. Make it clear in the description what kind of payment method is in question.
  • Payment instructions: in the default theme, payment instructions are displayed to the customer on the order confirmation page and in the order confirmation email if the customer's payment is open (as for online payment services, the payment will often have been made when the message is being sent).
  • Shipping methods: select the shipping methods for which the payment method should be enabled.

    The payment method will be displayed at checkout only if the customer selects one of the allowed shipping methods.

  • Shipping methods: set payment fees for the payment method that will be added to the order total at checkout. Payment methods can have fixed or variable fees, or both.
  • Enabled in version: limit the payment method's visibility to selected versions. In this way, you can have payment methods that will be available only in foreign language versions.

    In the payment method details, the payment method can easily be hidden or made available in selected versions with the help of the Show in selected store versions toggle.

    If you don't select any version, the payment method won't be enabled in your online store at all.

  • Require login: limit the payment method's availability to logged in customers.

    You can also restrict the use of the payment method to selected customer groups. Select or look for the desired customer groups in the field Limited for customer groups.

    After the use of the payment method has been limited to certain customer groups, the method will be available at checkout only to the logged-in customers who belong to any of the selected groups.
