Hi @AACUSTOMS 

Welcome to the Shopify Community - thanks for reaching out here.

I understand that you are wondering how to add more payment options to your store, as you currently have PayPal enabled and want customers to be able to use their cards - I'd be happy to explain how you can do this!

By default, all new stores that are eligible for a PayPal account will have one created when the store is created. However, you can also add a credit card payment provider to accept all commonly used payment methods, and even things like Google Pay or Apple Pay.

The payment providers that are available to use will depend on the region where you store is located. To view the payment providers that you can use on your store, feel free to refer to this resource here. You can choose your location and it will show you which providers you can use.

If Shopify Payments is available in your region, I would highly recommend using that. Shopify Payments is built directly into the Shopify platform, providing a seamless and easy setup process. It eliminates the need for third-party payment gateways and simplifies the overall management of your store. Shopify Payments also offers competitive transaction rates, which can help reduce your payment processing costs. The rates are based on the specific Shopify plan you are on, so feel free to check that out here on our pricing page.

The instructions for setting up a third-party payment gateway are here on our help center, so feel free to check that out. If you want to use Shopify Payments, we have some great information here about how you can do that.

How is your store coming along? Have you started to make sales, or are you still in the process of setting everything up? Feel free to share what you are working on currently, and I would be happy to provide more assistance and resources!

how do I pay printful and printify

That is great to hear that your store is coming along well @AACUSTOMS 

It sounds like you will be using print on demand apps on the store, and are wondering how you would pay those services? That's a great question!

Print on demand apps on the Shopify App Store are generally free to install and use, however they will charge you when you are ordering for fulfillment and shipping. With print on demand, you don’t pay for the cost of the product until after you’ve actually sold it on your store, so you would generally never be out of pocket for an order.

The specific payment processes may vary slightly between Printful and Printify, so I would recommend reviewing the documentation provided by each service to understand the exact payment flow and options they offer. You can view the Printful pricing page here and Printify have some info on how their account billing works here also.

I'd also recommend checking out this blog post, as it contains some excellent information about how print on demand works on Shopify. Also, there's this YouTube tutorial video that I would suggest taking a look.

Let me know if you have any other questions, we're always here to help!

I understand @AACUSTOMS 

To learn more about how you can use Printify and how payments work when using their services, I would suggest checking out the following resources that I was able to find on the Printify Help Center:

• How can I integrate my Shopify store? 
• What happens when an order comes in?
• How does the payment process work? 

To learn how you can create a successful print on demand business on Shopify, I would recommend checking out this YouTube video here on our Learn with Shopify YouTube channel. It provides an overview of the print on demand industry, along with valuable advice for initiating your own print on demand business and effectively selling customized products.

As well as this, I'd highly recommend this free course that we offer, which will help you learn about building an online business.
