In the Payment Settings of EasyStore, you can efficiently add, manage, and configure the payment methods available for your online store. 

Adding a Payment Method

Once in the Payment Settings area, you will be able to set up your Manual and Online Payment methods. After clicking on the + Add button, you will find these options:

• Manual Payment Methods: Click on the “Add Manual Payment” button to access EasyStore’s manual payment options.
• Payment Gateways: Click on the “Add Payment Gateway” to access the comprehensive list of all EasyStore’s available online payment methods.

Manual Payment Methods

Payment Gateways

To offer your users online payment options during checkout, choose from EasyStore's comprehensive list of available online payment methods.

From the provided list, select your desired payment method and click "Add". 

This action will automatically download and install the corresponding payment gateway for you. Repeat this process for each preferred payment method.

If there's an update available for the plugin, an "Update Now" button will appear beside the payment method. Click on it to update the plugin to the latest version.

Once all desired payment methods are added, click "Back to the list" to return to the main payment settings. There, you can configure each payment method according to your requirements.

Note: If you wish to use a payment plugin not included in the provided list, you must first install and enable the plugin from the Joomla backend. From the Joomla backend, navigate to Extensions > Install, and upload your payment plugin. Then enable the plugin to make it available for selection within EasyStore.

After adding your preferred payment methods, locate the "Setup" button adjacent to each method.

Click on it to configure your chosen payment plugin. Each plugin features dedicated documentation outlining the configuration process. Refer to these resources for comprehensive guidance.

Once configured, you have the flexibility to enable or disable each payment method based on your business needs.

If you need to modify the configuration or remove a payment method from your store's available options, simply click on the three dots (...) next to the respective method. This action will allow you to further modify the configuration or remove the payment method as necessary.
