How to Set up Manual Payment Methods in Website Builder

Manual Payment Methods are options where customers make a payment transaction that is outside of your Store's online checkout. After receipt of payment, a manual approval of the order is done.

Website Builder has pre-added a Cash on delivery and Phone Order option, which you can quickly enable and whose details you can easily edit. Other common methods under this type are Money Orders and Bank Transfers. You can easily create your own Manual Payment Method for your Store in Website Builder, too.

Important: The Store option is only available for the eCommerce Website Builder plan and will not appear on all other Website Builder plans. If you want to easily set up an Online Store with complete SSL protection and easy setup and monitoring of Products and Orders, you will need to upgrade your current Website Builder plan or purchase a new eCommerce Website Builder plan.
