Available Payment Options at Checkout Page

[yangzq]

Hello People!

I am pretty new to shopify and I wish to start my own store, but I have only PayPal account at the moment.

If I integrate PayPal as a payment option in Shopify, will I have only PayPal payment option at Checkout Page on my store?

To add additional payment options at checkout page, do I need to have credit card, master card and integrate them as payment option?

Hi there @yangzq!

Don here from Shopify.

The options available at your checkout will depend on which payment gateways and methods you have enabled in your admin.

So if you enable a PayPal option but not a credit card gateway, your customers would only have the option to check out via PayPal and not a separate credit card gateway option.

If you can let us know in which country your store is based, we can share a list of all payment gateways available for use there.

Of course, if you are happy to just work to take payments using PayPal, there is no requirement to offer a separate credit card gateway, though we find most merchants will want to offer as many ways to pay to their customers as possible.

There are also manual and alternative payment methods you can look into adding to your site, which would exist separately from any PayPal or card gateway options you provide.

Regards,

Don
