Setting up Shopify Payments for POS
Shopify Payments is the simplest way to accept payments. It eliminates the hassle of setting up a third-party payment provider or merchant account and having to enter the credentials into Shopify. With Shopify Payments you're automatically set up to accept all major payment methods as soon as you create your Shopify store.
After you set up Shopify Payments, your customers can make credit card payments on your store. You can activate Shopify Payments from the Payment providers page in the Shopify settings. When you set up Shopify Payments, you need the following information:
- your Employer Identification Number (EIN)
- your banking information
- the average price of your orders
- the average shipping time of your orders
