Online payments overview

Learn how customers pay online in Ecwid stores.

Online payments in Ecwid stores always start with a customer going through the store checkout. At the last checkout step, a customer selects one of the available payment methods and clicks the “Go to Payment” button.

At this moment, the online payment processing flow starts:

Both storefront and backend processes happen at the same time.

During the first step, the customer is redirected to app's paymentUrl and at the same time the order data is sent to the same endpoint.

From there, the app handles both the storefront by redirecting customers to the payment page and back, and the backend by processing requests from Ecwid and callbacks from the payment provider.
