How Payments Work in BigCommerce

BigCommerce handles payment gateway connections:

• Admin-Configured — merchants configure payment providers (Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.) in the BigCommerce admin
• Native Checkout — payment gateway integration is built into BigCommerce checkout
• Headless/API — use the Payment Processing API to process payments server-side
