Payment methods can be managed on the Payment Methods page (Store Setup > Payment Methods).

The payment methods are shown as a list.

A store admin can edit existing methods, enable/disable methods, delete methods, and change the order in which methods are shown to customers at checkout.

Editing Existing Payment Methods

It is possible to edit payment methods in the list.

To edit an existing method:

  1. Locate a payment method that needs to be edited on the Payment Methods or Payments page depending on the software version you use.

  2. In X-Cart 5.4.x, click Configure for this payment method.

Sorting Payments On the Storefront

The Names, Descriptions & Sorting page tools facilitate a store admin to order payments on the storefront and edit titles and descriptions of the payment methods available in your store.

  • X-Cart 5.5.x - Store Management > Payments > Names, Descriptions & Sorting

By default, all configured online methods come first, but you can change the payments order if required by drag-n-dropping them to the required position.
