# Adding alternative payment methods (v1)

Enable Klarna, iDEAL, PayPal, and other APMs on your processor, then show them on checkout.

## Overview

Alternative payment methods (APMs) — such as buy-now-pay-later, bank redirects, and wallets — are turned on **on your payment processor**, then **selected for your checkout** in the funnel editor’s **Payment methods** section.

Which methods appear depends on your **processor type** and what that provider supports for your account and region.

## Before you start

-   You have **added a processor** (TagadaPay, Airwallex, Stripe, or another supported processor).
    
-   You have or will create a **payment flow** that includes that processor.
    
-   Your checkout uses a funnel **checkout** step where you can configure **Payment methods**.
    

## Shared steps (all processors)

### Step 1: Enable methods on the processor

In your organization, open **Processors**, select the processor you use for card or APM payments, and open the **Payment methods** (or equivalent) section. Turn on each APM you need and set labels, descriptions, supported **countries**, and **currencies** where shown. If you sell subscriptions, pay attention to **recurring** support per method.

### Step 2: Use a payment flow that includes this processor

In **Payment flows** (or your store’s payment settings), ensure the flow assigned to checkout **includes** the processor where you enabled APMs. If it does not, edit the flow or create one.

### Step 3: Choose what shoppers see at checkout

Open your **funnel**, select the **checkout** step, and find **Payment methods**. Select the correct **payment flow** if prompted. Enable **Card** and each **alternative method** you want (methods are listed per processor). Save and publish your funnel.

### Step 4: Test

Place a test order in a **currency** and **country** your method supports. Many APMs are limited by geography and currency.

## Processor-specific notes

Use the tab that matches the processor you connected. Steps above still apply; these tabs add only what differs.

**Account setup required:** Alternative payment methods are not available on every TagadaPay account by default. Ask your **account manager** to enable APM functionality for your organization before you configure methods on the processor or checkout.

```
<code>- Connect your account first: follow **TagadaPay processor** setup if you have not already.
- On the processor, **Payment methods** lists redirect APMs (for example Klarna, iDEAL, Bancontact) and, where available, **express** wallet-style methods. Configure express options in the same area if your dashboard shows them.
- Your checkout **Payment methods** panel lists one row per enabled method (often keyed by method name and processor). Turn on only what you want customers to see.
</code>
```

**Airwallex setup:** Which payment methods you can use is decided on the **Airwallex** side. Contact your **Airwallex account manager** to enable the APMs you need for your Airwallex account before you rely on them in TagadaPay—TagadaPay can only offer methods Airwallex has activated for you.

```
<code>- Connect Airwallex: **Connect Airwallex to Tagada**.
- On the Airwallex processor in TagadaPay, enable each APM that your Airwallex account already supports (for example Klarna, PayPal, iDEAL). Available methods may differ by region and contract.
- Complete webhook and credential steps from the connect guide so payments and return URLs work end to end.
</code>
```

-   Connect Stripe: **Connect Stripe account to Tagada**.
    
    -   In your **Stripe Dashboard**, turn on each payment method you want to use (for example Klarna, iDEAL, Bancontact, wallets). TagadaPay only reflects methods that your **Stripe account** has activated—enabling a method in TagadaPay alone is not enough. Use Stripe’s **Settings → Payments → Payment methods** (or the equivalent in your Stripe account) and complete any provider onboarding Stripe requires.
        
    -   On the Stripe processor in TagadaPay, enable the same redirect APMs and, if you use them, **express** methods (for example Apple Pay, Google Pay). You may need a **publishable key** for express checkout where the dashboard asks for it.
        
    -   For Apple Pay and Google Pay setup details, see Google Pay setup and the Apple Pay guide linked from the payment methods index when available.
        

## Troubleshooting

Issue What to check **TagadaPay:** APM options missing or disabled in the CRM Confirm with your **account manager** that APM functionality is enabled for your organization. **Airwallex:** A method is missing, greyed out, or fails at pay time Confirm with your **Airwallex account manager** that the method is enabled for your Airwallex account and region. **Stripe:** Method fails or is unavailable at pay time The method is enabled in TagadaPay **and** turned on (and fully onboarded) for your account in the **Stripe Dashboard** payment methods settings. Method missing in the funnel **Payment methods** list Processor has the method enabled; payment flow includes that processor; correct store/funnel variant. Method listed in CRM but not on the live checkout Funnel published; checkout step **Payment methods** toggles saved; correct payment flow on that step. Customers do not see a method Customer **currency** / **billing country** must match the method’s rules; some methods hide for **subscription** carts if recurring is not supported.
