Adding payment and shipping methods to your Online Shop

Ok so your shop is looking well laid out, with your products well-presented and ready to be purchased.

The most obvious thing now would be to add in some payment methods, so your customers can begin purchasing your products.

Having a variety of payment options for your customers is important as it can avoid limiting them to one or two payment options, which may not always be convenient for them.

This could also help your shop stand out from others in the same market, as you are offering multiple payment options for your customers.

So, if you have a look in the payment section in the settings menu you will see some of the pre-integrated payment methods you can offer your customers.

To edit some of the details on a payment type, just click on the name of the payment type and this will open it up.

So say you have a minimum amount for a debit card charge, you can enter the amount in here and then click save to confirm the changes.

You can also choose to add a method of payment from this list here.

PayPal may be a good choice for a payment method as it is a very popular choice for customers and it is one of the most trusted forms of online payment, so may help with ease of purchase.

Just click ‘complete it’ and you will be able to begin adding in details to set up your PayPal account.

Now that you’ve offered your customers a variety of payment options, the next step in the purchase process to think about is shipping and delivery methods.

Have a look in the delivery settings just here and you’ll see some delivery methods already pre-set.

You can then easily customise these options so they appear alongside your products.

If we have a look at this express delivery option, we can see how it is set up.

You can decide if this method is enabled for all your shop’s products, and to which countries you can deliver products to.

It’s also good to consider the weight of products and whether or not you’ll need to charge more for delivery of heavier items.

Once you’ve decided on your delivery pricing, just add it in here.

If you wish to offer any more delivery options then you can simply add them in by clicking the add button.

Once complete, the delivery options will be displayed next to your products so your customers will know how much it will cost them and how long it will take.

So your customers will now be able to purchase their products with ease and know that they will be safely delivered to them.
