Shopfront supports creating and using an unlimited amount of Payment Methods. Payment Methods are any type of payment you can receive.

Creating and Editing Payment Methods

Note: Newly created payment methods will need to be enabled for each individual register you wish to process the payment method on. Refer to the below section on Enabling Payment Methods in the Register.

In order to set up your Payment Methods, you'll need to navigate to the list of Payment Methods:

Open the Menu
Select Setup
Select Payment Methods
Choose the payment method you would like to modify and select Edit or create a new one by pressing + New
Configure the options you would like
Once you have finished editing your payment methods select Save Payment Method

The Payment Method edit page contains the following options:

You can have a different default payment method for each register.

Open the Menu
