A payment gateway is a merchant service provided by an ecommerce application service provider that authorizes credit card or direct payment processing.
We have over 65 payment gateway integrations available out-of-the box, serving 100+ countries and over 250 local payment methods. We also offer integrations to the most popular digital and mobile wallets, such as Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, Venmo, and more. Your store country and currency will determine the payment gateways available to you.
Additionally, some payment gateways offer Accelerated Checkout solutions, which give your customers the ability to complete checkout with a single click. This quick and passwordless experience eliminates checkout friction and can reduce the rate of abandoned carts.
Once you've chosen your preferred gateway, setup is simple. Just enable the payment gateway and enter your credentials. For more information, see Online Payment Methods. Many of our popular payment integrations have detailed articles in the Help Center that include setup.

Digital Wallets and Mobile-Friendly Payments
Some payment gateways allow shoppers to make online purchases from participating retailers by signing into a third-party account. This means they can check out more quickly, without having to create a separate account or re-enter their payment information. This helps boost conversion rates and provides a stellar mobile shopping experience.
By default, digital wallets are not supported on Embedded Checkout. Digital wallets that are compatible with Embedded Checkout have been marked below with three asterisks (***).
- Apple Pay
- Amazon Pay
- Google Pay***
- PayPal Checkout (via Braintree and PayPal)***
- PayPal Pay Later***
- Visa Click to Pay
- Venmo (via Braintree and PayPal)
Guest customers not able to use digital wallets? Certain checkout settings can prevent guest customers from accessing digital wallet payment buttons in the cart. See Guest Customers and Checkout for more information.
If you are using a theme based on Cornerstone 6.6.1 or newer and have not customized your theme files, you can display certain digital wallet buttons on your product pages for a quick and easy shopping experience that bypasses the cart and checkout pages. The following digital wallets are supported:
- Amazon Pay
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- PayPal Checkout
- Venmo
You can enable digital wallet buttons on your product pages by checking Show quick payment buttons in the theme’s Product display settings. If you are using a different theme, or you have customized your Cornerstone theme files, your theme will require additional customization in order to support product page payment buttons. For assistance with applying customizations to your theme files, we recommend reaching out to a BigCommerce Partner by visiting our Partner Directory or submitting an Agency Design Request.
Accelerated Checkout Solutions
Accelerated Checkout solutions remove friction from checkout by offering a passwordless checkout experience. Using Accelerated Checkout, shoppers are prompted to securely save their information with the provider if they haven’t already.
Once they have an account, shoppers receive a one-time passcode to their mobile device whenever they enter their email address at checkout, and the Accelerated Checkout solution automatically fills in their address and payment information for a single-click checkout.
Since Accelerated Checkout profiles are supported in any online store using the corresponding solution, advertising this payment option can assure shoppers that their payments will be speedy and secure. This can encourage repeat purchases and increase your conversion rate. The following Accelerated Checkout solutions are available in BigCommerce:
- Stripe Link — This payment method can be configured in Stripe to offer a streamlined checkout experience for any shopper with a Link profile.
- Bolt — Bolt integrates with multiple payment processors to add a one-click checkout option to your store, accessible from the checkout page and on storefront product pages.
- Fastlane by PayPal — Fastlane by PayPal provides merchants using either PayPal or Braintree with a fast, passwordless checkout solution for guest shoppers.
FAQ
What is a hosted payment gateway?
Hosted payment gateways direct customers off your site's checkout to the payment service provider's page to enter their payment information. They will be returned to your website to finish the checkout process once payment has been completed.
Does Opayo by Elavon support 3D Secure (3DS)?
Yes. Opayo by Elavon supports 3DS 2.0, with a fallback to 3DS 1.0. Note: 3DS 2.0 requires Optimized One Page Checkout.
