Online store payment methods
Payment methods supported on Olitt shop include: Credit cards, Mobile payments, Bank deposit and EFT, Cheques and store credits.
Watch the procedure on Youtube
Bank deposit and EFT can be configured in two ways:
- Offline payment model where clients receive bank details to pay later and they share evidence of payment on email.
- Automated payment: By integrating your checkout with Flutterwave, your clients will receive a redirect to their bank, where they can pay directly during the checkout process.
Store credits are achieved where clients make lump sum payments during an initial order, thus their excess pay remains on their E-wallet on Olitt store.
