# Provide additional online payment method

Any online payment methods not developed by the Ecwid team work through applications. The app must meet certain requirements to become available as a payment method in the Ecwid admin.

As a developer, you don’t have to do any specific actions or API calls to add a new payment method and make it available at the checkout. However, you need to set up the app correctly:

* Make sure the app has the `add_payment_method`, `read_store_profile`, `read_orders`, and `update_orders` permissions (access scopes), and the self-hosted `paymentUrl` endpoint for processing payment requests.\

  \
  Check your app settings on the app dashboard page:<br>

* Check if the app is installed in the store with all required permissions on the [My apps](https://my.ecwid.com/#my_apps) page:\ <br>

With both requirements satisfied, a new payment method will appear on the [Payments](https://my.ecwid.com/#payments) page immediately after installing the app:

By default, this new payment method is enabled and therefore visible to customers at the checkout:
