4. Payment Configuration

FaxStore supports three payment methods on the base store configuration. One provider, two providers, or all supported providers can be enabled at the same time depending on the store setup and business requirements. This page covers how to connect each provider and where the required credentials come from.

Before Starting

Before enabling any payment method in FaxStore, make sure the account being connected is fully set up for live payments with that provider. Test or sandbox credentials should only be used for testing and should not be placed into a live FaxStore configuration. Stripe separates sandbox and live API keys, PayPal provides app credentials through its developer dashboard, and Square separates sandbox and production credentials in its Developer Console.
