Payment methods are key information for customers and also for clear and fast order management. You can set up payment in cash, by bank transfer and, if you have card payment activated in the EOS Platform, you can set that up as well. Automatic matching of payments can also be used for payments from customers from the public.
You can filter orders by payment method. You link the Delivery method to the Payment method, so you can determine that when a certain Payment method is selected, only certain Delivery methods are possible.

You create a new payment method by clicking the Add new record or+ button in the top right.
When creating or editing a payment method you set:
