Update from the Base to Now version: checking payment methods

Info

This article is exclusively for retailers who have been offered a switch to the Now version from the Base version in the administration area of your shop.

General information about payment methods

You can offer your customers various payment methods. A distinction is made between two types:

• Traditional payment methods such as prepayment, invoice, or direct debit, where you handle the billing yourself.
• Payment via a third-party provider (e.g. PayPal), who handles the entire payment process on your behalf and then forwards the money to you. Note that you will need to perform a one-time registration with the payment provider in order to connect your shop to the service. If you have already done this for your old shop, you do not need to do it again.

You should offer your customers multiple payment methods wherever possible. By doing so, you reduce the likelihood that customers will cancel their order because their preferred payment method is unavailable.

To edit your shop's payment methods, go to the administration area of your Now shop, select Settings, and then Payment.

For more information on editing the payment methods in the Now version, refer to the article Payment methods.

Transferring payment methods when updating from Base to Now

During the update, the payment methods of your Base shop will be transferred to the shop.

Checking payment methods

Before going live with your shop, be sure to check that the payment methods are working as they should.

Go to the administration area of your Now shop, select Settings, and then Payment. In the table below, you will find all the payment methods configured in your shop. Select one of the payment methods to check all the settings.

You should also perform a test order with each of the payment methods.
