- Open Settings → Payments.
- Find the gateway tile and click Set up.
- Enter the credentials from the gateway (API key + secret, OAuth, or email).
- Toggle the gateway active.
- Save.
Common configurations
- COD only — just enable COD (Gold/Platinum plans). No external gateway needed. Good for cash-heavy markets.
- Online only — enable Stripe or your preferred gateway, disable COD.
- Both (recommended) — enable an online gateway + COD so customers pick their preferred method at checkout.
Customise payment methods with apps
Installed apps with a payment customization function can:
- Hide a method based on cart total, country, or product (for example hide COD on high-ticket orders).
- Rename a method — "Cards" instead of "Stripe".
- Reorder — put the most-used method at the top.
FAQ
Do I need to pick just one gateway?
No — you can run several at the same time. Customers pick at checkout. Combine an international gateway (Stripe / PayPal) with a regional one (Razorpay, Paystack, etc.) for the widest coverage.
What fees does LaunchMyStore add?
LaunchMyStore charges a service fee depending on your plan (see Service fee & payment gateway charges). On top of that, the gateway charges its own transaction fee. Both are deducted from the payout.
How do I refund a customer?
Open the order, click Refund, and pick full or partial refund. The refund flows back through the original gateway. For COD orders, the refund is recorded for your records but no money moves.
Can I accept payments in multiple currencies?
Yes — Stripe supports 135+ currencies, PayPal supports 25+. Your store currency is set from your store's country, and you can configure the currencies you display and your exchange-rate handling under Settings → Store settings (Localization and Currency). The gateway converts at checkout.
Are 3D Secure / SCA supported?
Yes. Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, and other modern gateways handle 3D Secure / Strong Customer Authentication automatically when the buyer's bank requires it.
