Payments

Understanding Payments

Payments is the process of receiving money from your customers when they make a purchase in your online shop. Getting to know what payment methods you can use to receive payments from your customers and how debit/credit card transactions are completed is an important part of expanding your business globally.

Customers are enabled to make a transaction via payment providers through various means. You can accept payments online without credit/debit cards by connecting with a payment provider, such as PayPal.

If you would like to receive payments directly from a credit/debit card, please refer to third-party providers and read Third-party payment providers & Credit / Debit card payments to distinguish the types of payment channels.

Before setting up payment methods, you may also want to carefully consider what payment methods work best based on the location of your business and where your customers live.
