How to accept payments on your Zen Store

Zen Cart supports a wide number of merchant payment gateways including WorldPay, NoChex, HSBC and SecureTrading. However two other key gateways that we highly recommend are PayPal and Protx.

Zen Cart and PayPal - Ideal for start up businesses (small-medium)

With over 86.6million users this is a great payment gateway for your Zen Cart, and what's more, your customers now don't need to open a Paypal account before they make a purchase! The Paypal module comes as standard with Zen Cart which makes it veryeasy to get going. If you have yet to open a Paypal account please click the banner below.

1. Set up your Zen store by installing the Protx model for Zen Cart (email a member of our zen support team)
   
2. Obtain an internet merchant account from your bank (e.g. Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC) so that they can process your payments. Please see MerchantBanks for details of the banks that Protx work with and their contact details. Simply ask your chosen bank for an "Internet Merchant ID/Number"
   
   Note: Some banks will try and get you to sign up for their own solution; for example Barclays will tell you about the ePDQ which is not currently supported by Zen Cart.
