You can set up payment methods for new customer accounts during the account creation process, or by editing an existing account. Payment methods can only be added if the currency of the payment method type matches the currency of the customer account. A maximum of 100 payment methods is allowed for a customer account. You can enable the Auto-Pay setting on a customer account that uses an electronic payment method to automatically collect payments.

For payment method creation instructions on integrations that are requested through the Specialized Payment Connections service, see the article for the specific payment gateway integration .
