Store details

Field
What it does

ID

Unique identifier for your store, used with the PayNow API.

Name

Appears on your webstore, checkout pages and payment descriptors.

Slug

URL-friendly name identifying your store in web addresses.

Platform

Select your platform: Rust, Minecraft and so on. This optimises available features and integrations.

Support

Field
Who sees it

Support Email

Customers. Where they contact you.

Contact Email

PayNow only. How we reach you about the store.

Point Support Email at an inbox a human reads. Unanswered customers dispute charges.

Integration

Type
Use when

Hosted Webstore

You use PayNow's hosted storefront. Most stores.

Headless API

Fully custom integration via the API.

Third-Party Integration

A third-party platform integrates PayNow for you.

Payment Settings

Global payment options, including showing all payment methods for subscriptions and store-wide tax-inclusive pricing. The two Adaptive Currency toggles live here too, both on by default.

Payment Restrictions

Prepaid cards are disposable and can run out of funds mid-billing-cycle, so they drive fraud, trial abuse and churn.

Option
Effect

Accept all prepaid cards

Allowed everywhere.

Block for trial periods only

Cannot start a trial with a prepaid card. One-time purchases and regular subscriptions still allowed.

Block for all subscriptions

Cannot be used for any subscription, including trials. One-time purchases still allowed.

Stores selling recurring products usually pick Block for all subscriptions. It removes churn from expired balances while one-time purchases stay frictionless. Prepaid cards are also the standard tool for farming free trials.

Checkout Settings

How coupons and gift cards combine at checkout.

Option
Effect

Disable stacking

One promo only. No combining anything.

Gift Card stacking only

Multiple gift cards on one order, but coupons never combine, not with each other and not with gift cards.

Enable stacking

Coupons and gift cards freely combine.

Gift Card stacking only is the middle ground: several gift card balances on one purchase, while your coupon discounts stay predictable. Work out your worst case before choosing Enable stacking. A percentage coupon on top of an active sale can add up to a far larger discount than you intended.

Payment Methods

Organised into Global and regional tabs. Your store can offer regional payment methods regardless of its base currency: Klarna, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, iDEAL, Wero, BLIK, Przelewy24, MB WAY, MobilePay, Revolut Pay, Satispay, TWINT and UPI. Customers only ever see the methods available in their own region.

Enable the ones that matter in your markets. A large share of buyers in the Netherlands use iDEAL and in Poland BLIK in preference to cards, and a card-only store loses them silently.
