# 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:

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ecwid.com/guides/payments/provide-additional-online-payment-method.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
