The Shopify e-commerce platform’s ease of use, near-limitless feature set, scalability, and global popularity have made it a go-to website builder for online merchants the world over. In the Philippines, the platform is especially well-liked among local entrepreneurs because of its massive plug-in library and its mature developer ecosystem, both of which allow merchants to customize their online stores to suit whatever requirements they might have.
If your e-commerce site is already on the platform, you’ll have a wide selection of Shopify payment gateway plugins to choose from. But of all these choices, Maya offers the Shopify payment gateway Philippines’ online merchants can truly depend on. With Maya Checkout, Maya’s proprietary online payment gateway, Shopify stores can easily accept secure payments using cards, e-wallets, QR codes, and more. Even better, Shopify storeowners can use the Maya Plugin for Shopify to integrate Maya Checkout into their site in minutes. In this guide we’ll provide you with a step by step instruction on how you can do the same. :
Step 1: Create Your Maya Business Manager Account
You need a Maya Business Manager account to enjoy the benefits of Maya Checkout on your Shopify site. Follow this link to create a Maya Business Manager 2.0 account. Once your account is approved, you will be provided with a merchant Account and gain access to the full suite of Maya Business solutions. If you already have an account, you may skip this step.
Step 2: Search for Maya Business Plugin on the Shopify Store
After you’ve created your Maya Business Manager account, visit https://apps.shopify.com/maya-checkout and click the “Add app” button.
Step 3: Install the Maya Business Plugin
Simply click the “Install app” app button to begin the installation process. You can also view Maya’s privacy policy before starting.
Step 4: Generate the API Keys
Before you can activate your Maya Shopify plugin, you’ll need to generate an API key and a Shopify Token through Maya Business Manager.
To generate the needed API key and Shopify Token for your Shopify account, log into Maya Business Manager. If you are using Manager 1.0, select ‘API Keys’ from the left-hand menu then generate the API key and Shopify Token. If you are using Manager 2.0, go to ‘Solutions’ on the left-hand menu and choose “PayMaya Checkout” to find the buttons to generate your Shopify Token and API Key.
Step 5: Input Your API Key and Shopify Token
On the Maya Business plugin installation window, enter your generated API key, Shopify Token, and e-commerce website URL in the corresponding fields.
Step 6: Check Your Installation
Go to your Shopify dashboard and go to the “Payments” section. If the installation is successful, you should see “You are connected to Credit/Debit Cards and e-Wallets and are able to accept payments” under “Account status.” From the same section, you should also be able to select or deselect payment methods as needed.
Step 7. Activate Your Maya Business Plugin for Shopify
While still in the “Payments” section, scroll down and click the “Activate Pay via Credit/Debit Card & PayMaya Wallet V2” button. Make sure ‘Enable test mode’ is NOT checked.
That’s it! You now have Maya Checkout on your Shopify-based e-commerce store. You can fine-tune your online stores’ payment experience even further by exploring Shopify’s “Settings” page and the Maya Manager dashboard.
(Optional) Set Payment Capture
On Shopify's Settings Page, go to “Payments.” Set “Payment capture” according to your Maya Manager's “Auth and Capture” setting.
If your Maya Manager's Auth and Capture setting is “off,” your Payment Capture setting in Shopify should be “Automatic.” If your Maya Manager's Auth and Capture setting is “on,” your Payment capture setting in Shopify can be set to either “Automatic” or “Manual.” Choosing “manual” for Payment capture will add steps to transactions.
(Kount Merchants Only) Configure Shopify’s Checkout
On Shopify's Settings Page, go to “Checkout.” Under “Customer contact method”, select “Email.” Under “Customer information,” select “Require first and last name.”
