Enabling a Payment Method
This guide explains how to add and configure a payment method for your merchant account using the UPP (Universal Payment Platform).
1. Open the Payment Methods page
Log in to the UPP.
In the left-hand sidebar, click Payment Methods.
What you see: A table listing every payment method already added to your account. Each row shows the provider logo, a currency flag badge, a status (Active or Inactive), and a Manage button on the right. Above the table is an Add New button (top-right) and filter controls for payment type, currency, and status. Rows can be dragged up or down to change the checkout display order.
2. Select a provider to add
Click Add New.
Browse the provider grid. Use the Payment Type and Currency filter dropdowns at the top to narrow results.
Providers already enabled on your account appear in a dimmed Already Added section and cannot be selected again.
Click the tile for the provider you want to configure.
3. Complete the configuration wizard
The wizard shows a horizontal tab bar across the top.Tabs are unlocked in order, you must complete or skip each step.

Understanding credential fields
Every payment provider defines its own set of credential fields. The UPP renders exactly the fields that provider requires.
A form section titled "Enter Credentials" containing one or more labelled text inputs. Each field label has a small ⓘ information icon immediately to the right of the label text. Hovering over the ⓘ displays a tooltip with the info guide, a sentence explaining what the credential is and exactly where to find it (for example: "Your Client ID is found in the provider's Developer Dashboard under Apps & Credentials"). Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*). Optional fields have no asterisk.
Scenario A : Manual API credentials
If no OAuth or parent-managed path applies, enter the credentials in the dynamic form fields, click Test Connection, then click Next.
Scenario B : OAuth connection
Certain providers support an OAuth redirect flow. When available, the credentials tab shows a "Connect with [Provider]" button instead of (or alongside) the credentials form.
How the merchant OAuth redirect flow works:
Click Connect with [Provider].
The UPP saves your progress and navigates your browser tab to the provider's authorisation page.
Sign in to your provider account and grant the requested permissions.
The provider redirects your browser back to the UPP automatically.
The credentials tab now shows a confirmation:
"You are now connected to [Provider]."
Click Next to continue, no manual credentials are required.
Scenario C : Credentials managed by your parent account
If your parent account has already configured credentials for this provider, the credentials form is replaced by the following message:
"Credentials for this provider are managed by [Parent Name]. No additional credentials are required."
A plain text message and a Next button. No input fields are shown.
Click Next and the payment method is activated immediately using the parent's credentials. You do not need to enter or retrieve any credentials yourself.
Detailed steps for configuring credentials from parent account are mentioned in Partner Onboarding section
