Payment gateways: choose and connect one

A payment gateway lets customers pay online in your store, for example by card, net banking, UPI or wallet. It passes the payment securely between the customer, your store and the bank, and confirms the payment straight away. Connect a gateway before you take online payments.

How it works

  1. You contact Shopnix support and ask for a payment gateway. Shopnix turns on the gateway for your store.
  2. You open a merchant account with that gateway. The gateway gives you your account details, such as a merchant ID and a salt or secret key.
  3. You enter those details in Store Manager, on the Payment Gateway tab.
  4. At checkout, customers pay through the gateway, and you get confirmation of the payment straight away.

You can't add a gateway yourself. The Payment Gateway tab in Shop Profile only appears after Shopnix has turned on a gateway for your store.
