Payment Providers
Payment Providers enable online payment collection through your customer portal or eCommerce website. Customers can pay invoices directly using credit cards, online banking, or other methods.
What are payment providers
Payment providers are integrations with online payment gateways that allow customers to pay invoices directly through a link or your website. In Odoo 19, these are called Payment Providers (previously Payment Acquirers in v15). No sensitive payment data is stored in Odoo — all transactions go through the provider's secure system.
View payment providers
The list shows all available payment providers. Pre-installed providers include: Wire Transfer (manual), Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Authorize.net, Mollie, and others. Providers show their status (Disabled, Enabled, or Test Mode) and their supported features (Online Payment, Payment Status Tracking, Save Cards).
Activate a payment provider
Click the provider you want to activate. Click Activate to enable it. Configure the required credentials (API keys, merchant ID) from your provider account. Set the available countries, journal, and whether to allow saved payment methods.
Test before going live
Always test your payment provider in Test Mode before enabling it for real transactions. Use the provider's sandbox credentials and test card numbers to simulate payments. Verify that payments appear correctly in the journal and reconcile against invoices. Switch to Enabled only when testing is complete.
