Activating payment methods in Shopify

How to enable payment methods through pensopay in your Shopify store

TL;DR

  • To add a payment method to Shopify, first activate it in pensopay, then install the relevant payment app in Shopify.
  • pensopay guides you to find and enable your chosen payment method in both platforms so it appears at checkout.
  • Some payment methods require a separate app or an agreement with the provider before you can use them in your Shopify store.

Adding a payment method to your Shopify store involves two steps: activate it in your pensopay account, then enable it in Shopify.

 

1. Activate the payment method in pensopay

  1. Sign in to your pensopay account
  2. Go to Account settings > Payment methods.
  3. Find and select the payment method you want to add.
  4. Enter the required details and click Activate.

The payment method is now active in your pensopay account.

 

2. Activate the payment method in Shopify

  1. Sign in to Shopify.
  2. Go to Settings > Payments > Add payment methods.
  3. Select “Search by provider”, enter “pensopay” in the search field, and choose the relevant payment app.

    Note: If you cannot find the payment method in the list, check our guide to finding additional payment methods for Shopify.

  4. Click Install for your chosen payment app.
  5. You will be asked to enter an API key. You can create one in your pensopay account. 
  6. In your pensopay account, go to Account settings > Keys and click Create new token.
  7. Give the key a name, such as “Shopify”, and create it.
  8. Copy the new API key and paste it into the API token field in Shopify.
    Note: Make sure you copy the API key, not the private key.
  9. Click Install app. 

Once the payment method is active in both pensopay and Shopify, it will appear at checkout alongside your other payment methods.

 

3. Test the payment method

Go to your store’s checkout and select the new payment method. If it takes you to the payment window, the setup is working. If you run into any issues, contact support at support@pensopay.com

Tip: To test the full purchase flow, we recommend using a real card so you can see how the process works for your customers. If you would prefer to use a test card, follow this guide.

Please note that most payment methods require a separate agreement with the provider before you can start accepting payments.
