This article covers the other way to take card payments: your own gateway, with the money going straight to your own bank account.
Read it before you switch, because it changes what the money pages in your dashboard show.
Before you start
Using your own gateway is part of the Plus and Pro plans. On another plan the option shows locked, with an Upgrade Required badge.
If neither option is offered, the section reads No payment gateway options available. Contact support.
Some roles can see the gateways but not change their details. They see You can view the gateways, but your role can't manage their credentials.
Step 1. Open Payment Options
Pick Settings & Configurations from the side menu and open the Payment Options tab. The first card, Online Store payments, holds the payment methods your online customers can use.
The Payment Gateways section below it only shows once card payment is switched on there.
Payment Options opens on Online Store payments; the Payment Gateways section below it only appears once card payment is switched on.
Step 2. Choose Self-Configured
Where both options are offered, two cards sit side by side. Press Self-Configured, the one that reads: enter your own gateway credentials, money goes directly to your bank account.
The tick moves to it, and the gateway cards show underneath.
Hint: on a plan without this option, the card has a dashed border and a lock, and wears Upgrade Required instead of a tick.
Payment Gateways offers two ways to be paid. Self-Configured is the one where the money lands in your own bank account, and the tick shows it is the one in force.
Step 3. Enter your details and test them
Each gateway has its own card, with a coloured strip on top that shows where it stands. Press Configure and fill in the details your gateway provider gave you.
Once saved, the card wears Configured and a Test button shows beside it. A checked account also wears Verified.
Each gateway is a card of its own: its name, whether it is Configured and Verified, and the Configure button that opens the form for its keys.
Step 4. Switch the gateway on
The row at the top of the card holds the switch. It reads Inactive until you turn it on, then Active.
A gateway whose details you have not entered yet cannot be switched on. Instead of a switch, it reads Configure first.
Configuring a gateway does not start it. The switch on its card is what turns it on, and the dot beside it reads Active once it is.
Step 5. Know what your money pages will show
From now on, your customers' card payments go to your own account, so Storedoor holds nothing for you. Payouts stays in your side menu, but its balances stay at zero, the Commissions tab reads No commissions, and there is nothing to withdraw.
The Available Balance card on your dashboard home tells the same story.
On a store the platform holds no money for, all four cards read zero and there is nothing waiting to be withdrawn.
Result
Card payments now reach your own bank account, on your gateway provider's own timing. Your orders, your reports and your stock work as before. What you pay Storedoor for your plan and any credit packs still shows on the Invoices tab of Subscriptions & Billing.
