Prepayment, purchase on account and cash on delivery are available as standard. These can be activated or deactivated individually.
In addition, there are also the online payment methods stripe and PayPal. To ensure that these are automated and do not generate any overhead for you or your customers, the use of an external payment service provider is required.
Note: For stripe and Paypal you have to create a business account in order to integrate these payment methods in your store and receive payments. The TWINT extension is not included in the subscription and can be activated/acquired via the Website Creator Marketplace. Please inform yourself about the corresponding costs.
Read here where and how to activate the payment methods.
Vorkasse und Kauf auf Rechnung
In the case of prepayment and purchase on account, customers must initiate payment themselves via a bank payment after placing the order. The account details of the online store are included in the automatically generated and sent invoice PDF (this can be found in the details of an order).
These payment methods generate more effort than a direct payment via e.g. credit card, as a payment that has been made has to be checked manually and errors can occur when recording the payment/account data.
stripe
stripe provides countless payment options – from credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) to wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and local payment methods such as SEPA direct debit and SOFORT. You can find a complete list of payment options here.
In order to use stripe, you need to have your own account. Click the ‘Connect to stripe’ button to create an account or connect it.
PayPal
