Updated April 6, 2022

Once you’ve added some products with the eCommerce screen, open eCommerce Settings and configure the gateways you want to offer. New to payment gateways? Read Payment gateways for your shopping app first.

eCommerce settings

Stripe

Create and activate a Stripe account, then copy your Publishable key and Secret key from the Stripe dashboard into MobAppCreator. See Stripe’s documentation on API keys.

Stripe API keys

Use your live keys. With test keys, payments are only simulated and customers’ cards won’t be charged.

Offline payment and bank transfer

Use offline payment if you’d rather not set up an online gateway, none is available in your country, or you want to avoid transaction fees. You can also offer it alongside online options.

In the buyer instructions, enter your bank account details for transfers, or explain how customers can pay at your location.
