# Configure online payment methods

When you activate one of these three workflows: *Members,* *Events,* or *Donations,* a payment web page will automatically be enabled, allowing you to receive payments through Yapla. However, you will need to [authenticate your electronic wallet](https://support.yapla.com/en-ca/articles/47205427692947-activer-son-portefeuille-%C3%A9lectronique?hsLang=en-ca) so we can transfer the funds collected via Yapla to your bank account.

### How to set up accepted payment methods

Go to Payments \> Settings, then select the Payment methods tile.

![](https://support.yapla.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/35881896046611.png?width=341&height=237&name=35881896046611.png)

You will then have access to the various payment methods available for your plan. Credit card, Cheque, Bank transfer and Cash methods are all available in the Free plan.

![](https://support.yapla.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-28-2026-12-49-12-1687-AM.png?width=670&height=238&name=image-png-May-28-2026-12-49-12-1687-AM.png)

*Note that Yapla does not support contactless payments via a payment terminal.*

### Change the payment display order

The *Order* column allows you to define the display order of payment methods on your website. The first method on the list will be offered as the default on your website.

The *Website* and *Administration* columns let you disable a payment method in the environment of your choice. The *Website* column controls payment methods for your web pages, intended for your clients, while the *Administration* column controls the payment methods visible to administrators in Yapla.

### Payment types

#### Credit Card - Apple Pay, Google Pay and Indirect Payments (Online payements)

The credit card or online payments option allows you to receive payments by credit card, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.

To pay with a credit card, users simply enter their card details. To pay via Google Pay or Apple Pay, users click the G Pay or Apple Pay button, log into their account (via face recognition on a mobile device or with a password), and then confirm the payment.

***Note:** The visibility of the G Pay and Apple Pay buttons may vary depending on the browser used during payment. For example, Safari users might not have access to the Google Pay payment option. It is recommended to use the Google Chrome browser or Safari to use Apple Pay.*

##### Indirect Payments

Once this option is activated, you can also enable the option for payments using deferred confirmation methods under Indirect payments (instalments).

![](https://support.yapla.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-11-2026-03-41-58-4024-PM.png?width=670&height=221&name=image-png-Aug-11-2026-03-41-58-4024-PM.png)

For now, please note that **indirect payments are only available for recurring donations.**

Also, please note that transaction fees for indirect payments are the same as those for credit cards, as are dispute fees. For more details, [please see this article.](https://support.yapla.com/en-ca/articles/4411092793619-view-my-transaction-fees#:~:text=consolidating%20your%20accounting.-,Dispute%20Fee,-For%20all%20plans)

#### Online payments on you website:

![Capture d’écran, le 2025-03-04 à 14.50.57.png](https://support.yapla.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/39077738241939.png)

*Note that Yapla does not support contactless payments via a payment terminal.*

#### Cheque and Bank transfer

Your clients can pay by check by sending it to you by mail or by a bank tranfer. Until you receive the check or the transfer and record the payment in Yapla, the status of the sale will remain *Pending payment*.

By clicking the *Configure* button next to the payment method, you can access an interface to specify instructions for your clients to send the check.

You can use the default message, which includes your organization's name and address in Yapla, or customize the instructions for this payment method.

#### ![](https://support.yapla.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/35881927791507.png?width=346&height=513&name=35881927791507.png) Cash

You can allow your clients to pay in cash by sending the funds directly to you. Until you receive the funds and record the payment in Yapla, the status of the sale will remain *Pending payment*.

#### Payment Simulator

This feature allows you to test payments and is available starting from the **Essentials** plan only. Use with caution.

### Advanced payment features

Depending on your plan, Yapla offers advanced payment features for more specific needs.

#### Payment method visibility - Available with the Plus plan

For payments made via your website, you can restrict specific payment methods to logged-in users. You can even specify a group of users, such as members with a specific membership type. At the payment stage, the system will check if the user is logged in and display the payment methods you configured.

#### Add a payment method - Available with the Premium plan

The *Add a payment method* feature allows you to define an unlimited number of payment methods. This is used by organizations managing multiple bank accounts based on their activities. For instance, the payment method used for donations can be different from the one used for training activities.

 

Remember to associate the appropriate accounting entry with each of your payment methods.
