In Method, a payment gateway allows you to accept credit card payments directly within Method. Payments are facilitated by Shuttle, a global payments platform for software vendors and their merchants.
The Payments pop-up is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, so you can securely:
Connect a Payment Gateway
Process Payment Transactions
NOTE: If you are using our legacy payment gateway offering, the above payment process will look different. For documentation, please download Method:CRM - Legacy Payment Gateways PDF file.
