In order for your customers to be able to place orders in your online store, you need to define suitable payment methods.

MyCashflow doesn't contain any automatic payment processing services. However, MyCashflow does include two built-in payment services with which you can send your customers PDF invoices to their emails or provide them with your bank account details during ordering.

You can install the most common external payment services, such as online bank and credit card payments and online payment brokerage, as paid additional services.

If you sell products face-to-face in addition to online, you should consider a point-of-sale system that integrates with your online store. A secure and hassle-free solution is MyCashflow Cashier, built into the e-commerce system.

You can manage payment methods on the store's admin panel page Settings > Payment methods. Here you can see a list of all payment methods available in your online store.

To see the details of an individual payment method, select the method's name on the left side of the Settings > Payment methods page. To edit the payment method's details, in the payment method view, click Edit in the upper right corner.

Payment method availability at checkout

After choosing a shipping method at the online store checkout, the customer can only see the payment methods that you have allowed in the shipping method setting form Shipping method limitations.

If no suitable payment method is found when the customer arrives at checkout, an error notification will be displayed at the payment method section.

Organizing payment methods

You can arrange the order of payment methods in your online store by dragging them on the payment method list.

  1. Grab the icon that is visible on the left.
  2. Drag the row to the desired position on the list.
    If the payment method is based on credit or another form of deferred payment, it must be presented in the online store as a last resort payment option. The Finnish Consumer Protection Act sets out the order of presentation of payment methods according to a three-level classification:
    1. payment methods that do not involve credit or deferred payment
    2. payment methods which may include the possibility of credit or deferred payment
    3. payment methods that require the use of credit or deferred payment.
