Manage payment gateways
Locate the payment gateways category in App Store. The apps included in this category are available as part of the standard Aphix eCommerce product. Each payment gateway requires different credentials and is activated slightly differently.
Click Settings under the payment gateway you wish to configure to see what is required to activate it.
There are two steps to configuring a payment gateway:
Step 1: Activate a payment gateway
Step 2: Configure it to be a payment method during Checkout in Aphix WebShop
Step 1: Activate a payment gateway
The top section (“App Settings“) of the Settings screen provides a form that allows you to enter your payment gateway’s credentials.
To activate a payment gateway, enter your payment gateway credentials. Click Activate to enable the payment gateway.
Key points
Each payment gateways has pros and cons. As a merchant, you will need to look at each one and determine which best suits your business and your processes.
Read setup documentation on the relevant payment gateway to ensure that you have accurate credentials prior to activating the payment gateway on Aphix WebShop.
We support many payment gateways, and some of them are not available yet in our App Store. Contact us if you wish to configure a payment gateway that is on our list of Supported Payment Gateways and not yet in our App Store.
Activating your payment gateway does not make it visible as a payment method during Checkout.
Follow directions below to make it visible as a payment method.
Step 2: Configure payments gateways to display as a payment method during Checkout
The bottom section (“Configure Payment Gateways“) of the Settings screen contains functionality that allows you to configure your payment gateway so that it is displayed as a payment method during Checkout.
The screen displays two columns, containing active and inactive payment gateways for each currency that the payment gateway can process. A payment gateway is listed under Active if it is visible as a payment method during Checkout. Otherwise, it is listed under Inactive, which means it is not visible during Checkout.
To make a payment gateway visible as a payment method during Checkout, drag the payment gateway from the Inactive column to the Active column.
Click Save to save changes.
Update payment gateway app settings
To update your payment gateway credentials, replace existing with new information. Click Save to save changes.
Deactivate a payment gateway
To deactivate a payment gateway, click Uninstall.
Deactivating your payment gateway does not remove it as a payment method during Checkout.
Drag the payment gateway from the Active Column under “Configure Payment Gateways“ to the Inactive column to remove it as a payment method.
