Payment Gateway - Shop2Host Documentation

Payment Gateway


Set up gateway correctly, validate checkout, and monitor payment health for reliable collections.

1) Gateway Setup Basics

Configure payment gateway credentials using the correct mode and account.

  • Use test mode first for safe validation.
  • Switch to live credentials only after successful testing.
  • Keep key configuration secure and environment-specific.
  • Avoid mixing test/live keys in production.

2) Checkout Verification

Payment completion is verified before final order confirmation.

  • Signature validation is used to prevent forged confirmations.
  • Failed verification must not mark orders as paid.
  • Keep callback URLs and webhook behavior consistent.
  • Log payment failures for support troubleshooting.

3) Plan-wise Payment Behavior

Payment options and limits can differ by selected plan.

  • Free plan can enforce provider restrictions.
  • Paid plans can enable broader payment configurations.
  • Any plan change should update gateway behavior accordingly.
  • Store-side enforcement should read current plan metadata.
