How To Add Payment Method On Shopify – Full Guide (EASY)

How to Add a Payment Method on Shopify

In this tutorial, we will walk through how to add a payment method on Shopify, allowing you to offer flexible payment options to your customers.

Understanding Shopify Payments

First things first, Shopify provides its own built-in payment processing solution called Shopify Payments. This option is convenient as it integrates seamlessly with your store. However, it may not be available in all regions. If you find that Shopify Payments isn’t an option for you, or if you want to offer additional payment choices, you can activate various third-party payment gateways through the Shopify App Store.

These gateways allow you to connect your store to popular services such as PayPal, Stripe, and even cryptocurrencies.

Accessing Payment Settings in Your Shopify Store

To begin, visit your Shopify store and look for the Settings section, typically located on the left-side menu of your admin panel.

1. Click on Settings to reveal a drop-down menu.
2. In this menu, find and click on Payments. This action will navigate you to the payment settings page for your store.

Activating Shopify Payments

On the payments page, locate the section labeled Shopify Payments. Within this section, you should see a button that allows you to activate Shopify Payments. If you see this button, it indicates that you haven’t fully set up Shopify Payments yet.

1. Click the button to initiate a guided process that will connect your bank account and finalize the activation of Shopify Payments.

Adding Third-Party Payment Methods

Now, let’s explore how you can add third-party payment methods.

1. In the payments section, look for a button within the Supported Payment Methods section that says Add Payment Methods.
2. Clicking this button will open a new window, where you can search for additional payment options.

You’ll find a search bar where you can type in the name of a specific payment method, such as PayPal, or you can browse through a list of available providers.

1. Once you’ve identified the payment gateway you want to add to your store, click the Install button. This initiates the activation process for that specific payment method.

Activating a third-party gateway may redirect you to the provider’s app within the Shopify interface. Here, you might need to create a new account with the provider or connect an existing account if you already have one.

1. Follow the specific instructions provided by the payment provider app to complete the setup.
