NOTE: This page is about payment methods, which is how customers can pay you for products or services. If you’re looking for information about how money from sales is transferred to you (the merchant), please see our Deposits documentation.

WooPayments can take payments from customers using credit and debit cards, as well as additional forms of payment, directly from your store’s checkout page. Some of these payment methods may only be available in certain countries or regions, while others are only available on certain types of devices.
