On this page, you can find all available settings for configuring [payment methods](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/configuring-your-store/configuring-payment-methods.md).
You can manage the payment methods on the **Payment methods** tab in the **Store configuration** and **Multistore configuration** applications. See the difference in [Choosing site or global e-commerce configuration](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/configuring-your-store/choosing-site-or-global-e-commerce-configuration.md).

| Display name | Specifies the name of the payment method displayed to users on the live site and in the administration interface. |
| Code name | Specifies the string identifier of the payment method object used by developers in the code.
Unless there is a reason to set a particular value, you can leave the default _(automatic)_ option, and the system generates an appropriate code name. |
| Description | Allows you to type a text description for the payment method in order to provide further information. |
| Teaser image | Allows you to add a teaser image that the system displays to store visitors on the live site. Other types of files such as documents, and audio and video files can also be uploaded. |
| Allow if no shipping is supplied | Specifies whether the payment method is allowed if no shipping is supplied.
If selected, the system offers the payment method even if no shipping is offered during the checkout process (if no [product](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/managing-your-store/products.md) with the **Needs shipping** property enabled is placed to the shopping cart). For example, the payment method is offered even for e-books and other downloadable products. |
| Enabled | Specifies whether you can use the payment method object in your on-line store. If selected, you can select the edited payment method during making an order, either on the live site or from the **Payment method** drop-down list when editing orders on the **Billing** tab. |
| **Payment gateway** | |
| Payment gateway URL | Allows you to specify the URL of the payment gateway.
It can be parameterized by macros, e.g.: _http://mycustompaymentgateway.com?currency={% Currency.CurrencyCode %}\&total={% RoundedTotalPrice %}_. |
| Payment gateway provider class | Allows you to specify the name of the DLL assembly where the payment provider is stored, and the name of the corresponding class that represents the payment provider.
By default, you can choose the _CMS.EcommerceProvider_ assembly name and the _CMS.EcommerceProvider.CMSAuthorizeNetProvider_ to [enable the Authorize.NET payment provider](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/configuring-your-store/configuring-payment-methods/configuring-authorize-net.md), the _CMS.EcommerceProvider.CMSPayPalProvider_ to [enable the PayPal payment provider](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/configuring-your-store/configuring-payment-methods/configuring-paypal.md) or the _CMS.EcommerceProvider.CMSCreditPaymentProvider_ to [enable paying with the customer credit](https://docs.kentico.com/k9/e-commerce-features/configuring-your-store/configuring-payment-methods/configuring-customer-credit.md). |

By clicking **New** or by selecting _(new item...)_, you can create a new order status. |
| Order status if payment fails | Allows you to specify a status assigned to the order if payment fails.
