How to set up Shipping and Payments in Shopware

Shipping

The shipping module provides you with the ability to define whatever delivery method you wish. The shipping integration is not accomplished by creating specialized shipping methods but rather through the manual assignment of carriers to orders in the order management module. In this case, the shipping module just serves to notify the user about the shipping options you provide, how much they cost, and which delivery nations are permitted or prohibited.

Default settings

In the overview of shipping types, all of the shipping kinds that have been developed are presented alphabetically by name, description, and active status.

• List settings: You may use this section to reveal or hide specific columns from the overview.
• Context menu: From here, you may update, duplicate, or remove the delivery method that is currently selected.
• Update button: The Update Button brings up the most recent version of the shipping methods.
• Create shipping method: You may add a new delivery method to your shopping cart by clicking on this button.
• Language selection: In this section, you may choose the language you wish the shipping methods to be shown for.
• Sendcloud connection: This is where the link to Sendcloud may be established.

Utilize Sendcloud

Sendcloud is a shipping program designed specifically for online retailers that streamline the whole shipping process by delivering an all-in-one service. It is possible to print off shipping labels straight from the Shopware Admin, and the brands are paid via the Sendcloud account. Shipping services are available in several configurations, and clients may pick how they wish to receive their packages. In some instances, depending on how the shipping method has been configured, a map will appear when you select a shipping option, showing parcel collection and drop-off services that can take the packages.

You may connect to your Sendcloud account in the “Shipping” section under Settings > Shop > Shipping by clicking Connect, or if you have not yet made an account, you can do so by clicking Register.

If the Sendcloud account is successfully linked, the following banner will appear in the shipping overview: “Sendcloud account successfully connected.”

Payments

Cloud Payments

Following the creation of your cloud store, a checklist for preparing your shop is made accessible in the dashboard for your convenience. If necessary, it may also be used to set up a payment mechanism.

As an alternative, you can set the payment methods that your clients should be allowed to use in your store by going to the Settings > Shop > Payment methods menu option. By default, you have the option of paying with cash on delivery, advance payment, or invoicing. You may accept a variety of different automatic payment options with Shopware Payments powered by Mollie and PayPal, in addition to those already mentioned.

Shopware Payments powered by Mollie

In addition to the three backup payment methods, Mollie provides you with a choice of extra payment options that may be added straight into your shop’s checkout process. Using this strategy, you may accept payments via various payment ways without having to create separate accounts with each of the payment providers. In order to receive payments from several payment providers, you simply need one Mollie account. You may then have the funds from this account transferred to a chosen bank account on a regular basis.

Before being able to utilize the Mollie payment methods, you must first connect your business to a valid Mollie account. In order to do this, go to Settings > Shop > Payment methods and click on the applicable option there.

You may either connect your store to an existing Mollie account or establish a new account and then link it to an existing Mollie account.

In addition to establishing a connection between your current or new Mollie account and your business, you will need to provide the shop authorization to access your Mollie organization.

That’s all there is to it. After you have granted access to the store, you can easily activate or deactivate the necessary payment methods by selecting the appropriate option on the right side of the screen.
