How payment gateways work
When a customer checks out in the member portal, the available payment methods are determined by:- Which gateways are enabled in your location settings
- Customer type — some gateways can be restricted to members or contacts
- Transaction amount — gateways only appear when there is an amount due
- Checkout type — some payment methods are only available for specific checkout flows
Configuring a payment gateway
To configure a payment gateway:- Navigate to Settings > Billing and payments > Payment methods in the admin dashboard
- Find the payment gateway you want to configure from the list of available methods
- Click on the gateway to open the configuration flyout
- Fill in the required credentials and settings
- Toggle the Enabled switch to activate the gateway
- Save your changes
Most payment gateways offer a sandbox or test mode. Always test your configuration in sandbox mode before enabling live payments.
