# Payment Methods & Gateways

Configure how your store accepts payments and ensure credentials are secured in the hosted environment.

## Supported methods

* Card gateways (as enabled for your tenant)
* Purchase Orders (PO) or manual payments (if allowed by your program)
* Mixed carts with multiple items and quantities

## Configuration

1. Open the store admin and go to the payment configuration area for your gateway(s).
2. Provide live/test credentials as instructed by your team; avoid sharing secrets in documentation.
3. Set per‑store options (currencies, capture vs authorize, order minimums) if available.

## Operational guidance

* Test vs Live: Use test credentials in non‑production and confirm order flows create seats correctly.
* Refunds: Process via the returns/refunds flow so seats and invoice items update consistently.
* Multi‑store: Validate each store’s gateway settings; do not assume global configuration applies to all stores.
