Magento 2 Beginner Class; Lesson #24: Setting Up Payment Methods Video Lecture | Magento: Build an E-Commerce Site (English)

when your store and your site itself are
set up it's time to configure the
payment methods for your customers we do
this at stores configuration and scroll
down a bit to find sales then at the
bottom of sales you'll find payment
methods go ahead and click on that and
the first thing you're going to do is
select your country that you're
operating out of for us or in my case at
least that'll be the United States then
as you'll see there are a lot of payment
options you probably don't want to use
everything so you don't confuse your
customers there is some information here
describing the difference between some
of these options especially the various
PayPal options but you should do your
own research on these things to figure
out what's ideal for your operations the
most commonly used options would be the
PayPal options as well as Braintree if
you're not familiar with Braintree you
should look into it it's owned by PayPal
and accepts PayPal and credit card
payments and it is a pretty robust
payment acceptance solution but again
use what makes the most sense for you
after you've done your research to
enable one or more of these payment
methods you'll find the payment method
that you want to use let's say we want
to use Braintree as one of our methods
click configure that will open up some
more information to fill out this is all
of your Braintree account information
note you also have sandbox and
production environment options of course
sandbox would be for testing and
development once you're done and you
confirmed everything is working you want
to switch that to production so that
payments will actually go through for
payment action you'll see different
options here for different solutions
with Braintree we have authorize or
authorize and capture in most cases
you're probably going to want to use
authorize and capture authorize
basically tells Braintree or PayPal or
whatever it is that the sale has gone
through and the customers payment method
has been authorized and you have to
manually capture that payment as it's
called or receive the payment if you
choose authorize and capture then as the
customer goes through the payment
process and submits all their
information once that's authorized by
Braintree or PayPal or whatever the
service is you'll go ahead and capture
that into your account it'll be sent to
your account automatically and you don't
have to kind of go get that money
manually it's usually best to stick with
the provided title for clarity this way
your customer knows exactly what it is
that this option accommodates if they
see credit card you can even delete
Braintree if you want but we'll just
leave this as is if your customer sees
credit card they know what that means if
you just had Braintree for instance most
customers are going to have a no idea
what that means so by using credit card
as the title that tells them okay this
is the option to use if I'm paying with
a credit card once you've entered in
your information for your Braintree
account or if you're using a PayPal
account your PayPal account whatever it
may be you have to enable the solution
which will not be grayed out anymore at
that point and then you may have a
couple of other options here as you can
see depending on the service that you've
chosen some of the options here will say
vault enabled and you can choose yes or
no this refers to the ability for the
payment service to save customers
payment information if the customer opts
to do so so that they don't have to type
it in each time that's what vault is
that's confusing it all to you then for
various services you may have advanced
settings which generally are for more
advanced users in this case we have
country specific settings payment from
applicable countries payment from
specific countries etc etc in most cases
you're going to be fine configuring just
the basic settings you might want to
take a glance at the Advanced Settings
to see if there's anything that catches
your eye
anything specific to the service you're
using things like that but for the most
part basic is what you're going to be
looking for and of course along with
Braintree and PayPal you have several
other options for payment methods you
have checking money orders bank
transfers etc once you've input your
account information for PayPal or
Braintree or whatever it is and you
finished configuring your payment
methods don't forget to go back up and
click Save config otherwise you're going
to lose all of your settings and have to
do it all over again
and that's really all there is to
setting up your payment methods
