Accept gift cards or other forms of payment online, as well as in-store-only payment methods.
While we do not yet directly integrate with any gift card services, we do give you the ability to still collect those payments, or other forms of payment, such as financing cards, through your website.
Custom Online-Only Payment Method
Custom In-Store Only Payment Method
Custom Online-Only Payment Method
- This feature allows you to accept gift cards, or any payment type you like, as a payment method for an online order.
- To set up an online-only payment method navigate to Settings > Commerce > Payment Settings > "Add Another Payment Type".
- Select Custom payment type, enter the Custom Payment Type name, select Available on website only, and then click "Add Payment Type".
The system will not ask your customer for any other information so be sure to provide any special instructions in your Shopping Cart Message.
- The final step is to toggle on that payment method under Custom payment types.
Custom In-Store Only Payment Method
- This feature allows you to collect payment for an in-store sale using a payment method that is not integrated into our platform and is also not available to a customer during checkout from your website.
- For example, you could create a custom payment type of "Cash", or a financing program that is only available in your store.
- To set it up an in-store-only payment method navigate to Settings > Commerce > Payment Settings > "Add Another Payment Type".
- Select Custom payment type, enter the Custom Payment Type name, select Available in-store only, and then click "Add Payment Type".
- The last step is to toggle on that payment method under Custom Payment Types.
Data Security
- Under no circumstances should you collect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, through custom payment methods.
- It is a massive data risk to have customers input credit card (or even gift card) information into the comments section in an order.
- Direct your customers to call the store with a gift card or other payment information.
