Payment methods

Payment methods are the types of payment that customers use to pay for goods or services. These methods include credit and debit cards, digital wallets like Google Pay™ and Apple Pay, bank transfers, direct debits, ACH, Wire, buy-now-pay-later services, and more.

Payment methods are processed by payment gateways, which are services that authorize and process payments. In Rebilly, you configure payment methods on payment gateways. For more information, see Set up a payment gateway.

Supported payment methods and gateways

Rebilly supports more than 167 payment methods. For a full list of supported payment methods, see Payment methods. If you would like to use a payment method that is not in the list of supported payment methods, Rebilly will integrate it for you at no additional cost. For more information, see Send an integration request.

Configure payment methods

In Rebilly, you configure payment methods and digital wallets on payment gateways. To set up a new payment gateway, or to configure payment methods for an existing payment gateway, see Set up a payment gateway.

Payment method automations

Two events trigger payment method automations in payment forms:

• Ready to pay requested: Executes when a customer requests to pay or to deposit funds.

• Ready to payout requested: Executes when a customer requests a payout.

For both events, you can configure conditions on when the event must execute, and the actions to take when the event is excuted. For example, you can automate which payment methods are displayed to the customer based on their geographic location, or set the order in which payment methods are displayed. For more information, see Payment method display order and Display payment methods by location.
