Setting Up Payment Methods - Desktop

What are payment methods?

Payment methods are options that customers use to pay for their purchases in your online store during checkout. These methods allow you to accept payments securely and efficiently, ensuring customers can complete their orders.

Why are payment methods important?

Having at least one payment method is crucial to start receiving payments for your goods. Without a payment method, your store cannot be published. Offering multiple payment options during checkout can significantly increase sales as customers are more likely to complete their purchases using their preferred method. BoxCommerce supports various payment options such as mobile money, credit card payments, EFT and cryptocurrency.

Please note: 

• Payment processing fees differ per provider.
• Review these fees via the "Pricing and details" link when setting up each payment method.

How to Set Up a Payment Method

1.  Navigate:  From your control panel on the left-hand side, click “Store”, then click “Payments”.  Toggle the switch next to the payment method from “Off” to “On”.

Please note:  Payment methods displayed will depend on the country your online store operates in.

2.  Activate:  Once you’ve turned on a payment method a pop-up will appear prompting you to fill in the required account details.  Once complete, check the acknowledgement box, then click “CREATE”.
