Multiple Shopify merchants are encountering a checkout error when using the ONERWAY payment gateway: “There was an issue processing your payment. Try again or use a different payment method.”
Root Cause:
ONERWAY (post #5) clarified that while installation requires no certification, stores must complete an audit/approval process with ONERWAY before processing transactions. The payment provider indicated merchants should contact their marketing team for account activation, which supposedly takes only minutes.
Confusion about the exact approval process and what information to submit
Some merchants report funds being held after customer payments, with ONERWAY not responding to withdrawal requests
Wait times extending 3+ days with no resolution
Status: The discussion remains unresolved for most participants. Despite ONERWAY’s initial response, subsequent users continue reporting communication failures and unprocessed payments, raising concerns about support responsiveness and fund accessibility.

I added the payment provider “ONERWAY,” then went to my store’s site and tested to see if the payment method worked. When I’m at the checkout, and I click “credit/debit” as a payment method, then “pay now,” it shows an error that says this: “There was an issue processing your payment. Try again or use a different payment method.”
I have activated the provider, and it is not in test mode.
Thank you for your question. We have checked and found that this problem is caused by your store’s failure to record on ONERWAY.
Please note: No certification is required to install ONERWAY. However, before making a transaction, the store must be audited by ONERWAY before it can use the payment service.
