Hi @VNH 

Unfortunately, if you processed orders outside of Shopify, you won't be able to receive payments directly through the platform. Shopify's payment system is designed to handle transactions within the platform itself.

Here are a few methods you can consider to get paid for these orders:

  1. Direct Payment Methods:

    • Bank Transfer: Request customers to transfer the payment directly to your bank account.
    • PayPal: Ask customers to send money via PayPal.
    • Cash on Delivery: If applicable, collect cash directly from customers upon delivery.
  2. Third-Party Payment Processors:

    • Stripe: A popular payment processor that can be integrated into your website.
    • Square: Another popular option, especially for small businesses.
  3. Manual Order Entry:

    • You can manually add orders to Shopify and mark them as paid. However, this won't automatically trigger any payment processing. You'll still need to rely on direct payment methods.

Important Considerations:

  • Customer Communication: Clearly communicate your preferred payment method to customers.
  • Record Keeping: Maintain detailed records of all orders, payments received, and any other relevant information.
  • Tax Implications: Be aware of any tax obligations related to these transactions, especially if you're operating a business.
  • Security: Prioritize security when handling customer payments, especially if you're collecting sensitive information like credit card numbers.

By combining these methods and considering the specific needs of your business, you can effectively manage payments for orders processed outside of Shopify.

 

If you have other questions, I am willing to to answer more.

 

Best regards,
Daisy
