Note: This will also work for older versions of the cart, but the look of the cart will definitely be different, if you have questions you can call Support for assistance.


How to setup Payment Methods.


1. If you've moved to PinnacleCart from another platform, you may likely already have a Merchant Gateway. If that's the case, this should be really easy, just follow the steps below. If you're new to e-commerce, you might need to sign up for a Payment Processor. You can find many of the options we integrate with here, https://www.pinnaclecart.com/supported-payment-options/.


2. Enter the Admin of your cart, then click Settings > Payments.



3. Click Payment Methods.



4. In the Add Payment Method drop-down menu, you will be able to select the Merchant service you use.



5. At the bottom of the list, there's also an option for Add Custom Payment. This option can be used for a test payment option, or non-live transaction types like Money Order or In Store Pick-Up.



After enabling payment methods, you can disable them by clicking the green toggle button into the off position. You can also click Edit to add additional information, credentials, payment options, etc.
