Payment Methods

Setting Up a Payment Method

In Afosto, you can set up payment methods in the management environment. It is often necessary to use a Payment Service Provider (PSP) such as Mollie, Adyen, or Pay.nl. The nice thing is that the settings of a payment method in Afosto are independent of the provider. This means you can easily switch providers without losing your settings.

The payment methods are set at the account level but apply at the sales channel level. Here you can enable or disable them and sort them for use in your checkout.

How to set up a payment method?

Follow these steps to set up a payment method:

1. Go to the Afosto management environment and select 'Payment Methods'.
2. Click on 'Add'.
3. Select the payment method you want to use.
4. Give the payment method a name. You also have the option to add a description and instructions for the customer. These can be displayed in the checkout or in our storefront API.
5. You can also add translations for these fields so that the correct language is automatically displayed based on your sales channel.
6. Determine whether the payment method is active and whether there are any associated costs. You can adjust these settings with advanced exceptions, such as deactivating payment methods for certain order amounts or addresses. For more information on setting up exceptions, refer to our Rule Builder guide.
   

Linking a PSP

To link a PSP to the payment method, you must first complete the steps above. Once the payment method is created, click on 'Link' in the 'Provider' column of the overview.

You have two options here:

- Link with existing PSP integration
- Create a new PSP integration

Per PSP, you must create an integration once that you can reuse for all payment methods.
