A Payment Provider (PSP) processes card payments + alternative payment methods (APMs). You can connect multiple: one per region/market is common. Picking the right mix matters: fees, settlement speed, supported methods, dispute handling all differ.

You'll work at /admin/store/{storeId}/settings/payments.

Before you begin

Go to Settings and open Payments.
You have Payments settings permission.
You have shortlisted providers + accounts created with each.

Steps

1. Open Settings > Payments

(opens full size)

2. See connected providers + add-provider button

3. Click Add provider

4. Pick from catalog

(opens full size)

5. Connect via OAuth / API keys

6. Verify test transaction succeeds

7. Switch from test to live

8. Repeat per provider

Verify the result

Provider listed under connected.
Test transaction succeeded.
Live mode toggled.
Customer-facing payment methods show at checkout.

Best practices

Test transaction every provider before going live.
Webhook monitoring: failed webhooks = lost orders.
Currency match per provider to avoid FX fees.
Backup provider for resilience.
Document credentials in your password manager (not in markdown).

Common mistakes

Forgetting to switch test → live.
Wrong currency mapping.
No webhook monitoring → silent failures.
Same provider chosen for redundant role.

If something goes wrong

Payment declined unexpectedly: check provider dashboard + Tanqory logs.
Webhook failures: see Webhooks Troubleshooting.
Permission denied: your role lacks Payments settings.
