Work with payment methods

If your user role has the Payment method/Create permission, you can create payment methods. With the Payment method/Edit permission, you can modify existing ones.

Payment methods describe the way store customers pay for their orders during the checkout process.

Payment method limitations

By default, you can only create payment methods of Offline type. If your organization needs other payment method types, contact your administrator or development team about creating a custom payment method type.

Payment methods created in legacy Commerce cannot be migrated when you upgrade. You have to define them from scratch.
