Payment methods in Norce provide comprehensive configuration options for managing how customers can pay for their orders. This functionality is primarily designed for legacy shopping processes that use built-in Norce Commerce functionality.
The payment methods page allows you to create and configure different payment options for your customers. Each payment method can be tailored with specific settings, restrictions, and business rules to meet your operational requirements.
Important: This functionality is specifically for legacy shopping processes using built-in Norce Commerce functionality. For new checkout capabilities using NCO (Norce Checkout), refer to the dedicated NCO documentation section.
Payment methods are configured per application. When you switch between applications in the admin interface, you will see different lists of payment methods specific to each application's configuration.
