Configure local payment methods

To accept local and alternative payment methods on your PrestaShop store, configure the All Payment Methods settings in the Airwallex module. This enables payment options such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, Klarna, Afterpay, PayPal, iDEAL, Bancontact, BLIK, EPS, Giropay, and 160+ more.

Before you begin

• You have configured your API credentials and webhooks.
• The payment methods you want to offer are activated in your Airwallex account. Log in to the Airwallex web app and go to Payments > Payment methods to verify.

Enable local payment methods

1. In the PrestaShop Back Office, go to Modules > Airwallex > Configure.

2. Navigate to App Settings > All Payment Methods.

3. Configure the following settings:

   Setting	Values	Default
   Enable APM	On / Off	Off
   Display Name	String (max 200 characters)	"Additional payment methods"
   Description	String (max 1000 characters)	Default redirect text
   Checkout Payment Flow	Payment first / Order first	Payment first
   Transaction Type	Authorize and capture / Authorize only	Authorize and capture
   Enabled Payment Methods	Selectable list	All available

4. Click Save.

Available payment methods are fetched dynamically from the Airwallex API based on your account and region. You can reorder payment methods using drag-and-drop in the admin UI.

Checkout payment flow

This setting controls the order of operations between payment collection and order creation:

• Payment first (default) — The shopper pays first, then the PrestaShop order is created upon success. This avoids creating orders from failed or abandoned payments.
• Order first — The PrestaShop order is created first with an "Airwallex Pending Payment" status, then the shopper is redirected to complete payment. This provides better order tracking but creates orders regardless of payment outcome.

Next steps

Now that you have configured your payment methods, verify your setup before going live:
