5. Activating Payment Channels: Getting Paid

Part 5 • Making Your Store Public and Activating Payments

Ensuring you can actually get paid is arguably the most important step.

<ul> <li><strong>Shopify (Paths B/C):</strong> Shopify Payments is the recommended payment gateway. During your Shopify setup, you will be prompted to activate Shopify Payments. This involves providing your banking information for payouts and some tax information. Once activated, customers can pay with credit/debit cards. Shopify will then deposit the funds directly into your bank account. You can also integrate other payment options like PayPal.</li> <li><strong>Printify Pop-Up (Path A):</strong> Printify's Pop-Up store typically processes payments through their own integrated system, which usually requires connecting your PayPal account during the Pop-Up store setup. Confirm that your PayPal account is properly linked and verified to receive funds.</li> </ul> Crucially, confirm that your connected bank account or PayPal account is fully verified and able to receive payouts.
