Online store payment methods: how to accept money (Ukraine/world). Full BooStore guide

💳 What payment methods are available in an online store

To accept money for products, an online store needs at least one payment method. On BooStore.pro you can connect a wide range of payment systems, and the buyer always picks a convenient option right at checkout. If there are several methods — the system shows a list and the customer decides how to pay: by card, via internet banking, in installments or in cash on delivery (cash on delivery).

All payments happen after the order is placed: the buyer fills in the form, then the system generates a payment number and offers to pay with the chosen payment system. A detailed overview of methods and connection instructions are on the «Payment systems» page and in the knowledge base on online payment.

📊 Payment system comparison: fees and capabilities

The platform does not charge an additional fee for using payment systems. The percentages below are set by the payment services themselves and are deducted from the buyer's payment amount. Data is current on the BooStore.pro platform.

How to choose: to start in Ukraine, Monobank and LiqPay are optimal (low fees + TTN support), for large volumes and installments — Fondy and WayForPay, for European and global sales — Stripe and PayPal. Check the exact tariff on the payment system's own website — it can change.

⚙️ Flexible payment acceptance settings

BooStore.pro lets you fine-tune payment acceptance to your business scenarios — from pre-selecting the method to restricting payment until the order is checked.

⚙️ Key payment acceptance scenarios

✅ Accepting payments only after order verification

You can enable online payment only after checking product availability. This is especially important when stock levels change quickly or the order requires confirmation (made-to-order, individual product, pre-order).

🌐 Pay-by-link with a payment method

The payment method is set by the GET parameter shop_payment_systems, whose value equals the method ID or several IDs separated by commas. Examples:

The shop_payment_systems parameter can also be sent as a POST request from the form when the buyer places the order.

📋 Cash register, hold, refunds and payment statuses

A modern Ukrainian store needs to not just accept payment but do it in a legally correct way. BooStore.pro supports fiscalization, two-stage payment and refunds.

🏧 Cash register — software cash desk

A software cash register is a program-based cash desk for fiscalizing online payments: the order content is sent for tax reporting. Payment systems supporting cash registers on BooStore.pro: Monobank, NovaPay, LiqPay, PrivatBank, Hutko, WayForPay, iPay.
More about the legal setup of a store — in the article «How to open an online store in Ukraine».

🔐 Hold (two-stage payment)

Freezing funds on the buyer's card without immediate deduction. After checking the order you confirm the deduction (capture) or cancel the freeze (reverse). Supported in Monobank, NovaPay, LiqPay, WayForPay, Fondy, Stripe, PayPal, YooKassa.

🔁 Recurring payments and subscription

Automatic deduction at a set interval: day, week, month or year. Subscription can be enabled automatically or by the buyer's choice — convenient for digital products, services and beauty boxes. Supported by most systems on the platform.

📈 Payment statuses in «Sales statistics»

• Paid online, not checked — set automatically on online payment.
• Checked / Not paid — you change the status after manually checking the payment.
• Allow/block payment — for a specific order, regardless of the general settings.

⚙️ Managing hold and refund via Commerce API

Order payments can be managed programmatically through the Commerce API. For an order, via payment_action:

• Confirm / cancel hold — payment_action=hold_finalize (confirm the capture) or hold_cancel (cancel the freeze / reverse) without logging into the admin.
• Refund — payment_action=refund with the refund_type parameter: full (full refund) or partial (partial, with a required refund_amount not exceeding the paid amount).

🧾 Payment invoice without a product and pay-by-link

You can create your own payment invoices using a link in which you specify the price, description, currency and buyer contacts. This is convenient for sales in messengers, over the phone or for customers without a cart.

🧾 Payment invoice generator

No need to memorize link parameters — the platform has a ready-made payment invoice generator. In it you choose the currency, price, description, buyer contacts and payment system — the system collects the needed link itself. It also has an example link, a full list of GET parameters and ready-made popup button code. You can additionally enable a subscription invoice (recurring payment).

⚙️ Main invoice GET parameters

🪟 Contact collection popup window

A script for a popup window is available for the «on the fly» order generation button: on click a window with fields (name, e-mail, phone, description) opens, and the filled data is automatically added to the link and passed to sales statistics. This is a sample script — you can connect it as is or modify it for your needs. File: /templates/scripts/demo/hotengine-payment-popup-demo.js (class payment_popup). A ready example is placed in the «Demo button and script of the contact data collection window» item in the payment invoice generator. Example button:

🚚 Delivery methods: Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, Meest, Goshippo

Delivery is the second half of successfully accepting orders. BooStore.pro provides two ways to set up delivery: selection at checkout (recommended) and selection when viewing the cart (convenient when it is important to split by countries and regions).

🔌 Connected delivery services via API

🌍 International delivery via Goshippo

For sales abroad, BooStore.pro uses Goshippo — a multi-carrier with access to hundreds of tariffs worldwide. The buyer specifies a country and address, and the delivery cost is calculated automatically according to the chosen carrier's tariffs.

🌍 International carriers and tariffs

📦 Automatic TTN creation, dimensions and automatic cost calculation

One of the main advantages of BooStore.pro is full logistics automation: when sending an order, the system itself creates the waybill (TTN), passes the tracking number to the buyer and calculates delivery cost according to the carrier's tariffs.

📋 TTN creation modes

📦 Product dimensions and weight

👣 Steps to connect automatic TTN creation (using Nova Poshta as an example)

1. In «Store» → «Delivery» enter the Nova Poshta API key (from the carrier's personal account).
2. Open the delivery method in the «Delivery method selection (in the checkout form)» section.
3. Enable the «API: Enable NOVAPOSHTA API» toggle.
4. In the «TTN creation» row select the needed mode and save the method.
5. Click the «gear» and specify the sender (counterparty).
6. Tick «Use for all delivery methods» if the sender is the same.
7. Fill in the dimensions and weight in the product cards (or via import).

Parameters are set in a similar way for other delivery methods. And for Goshippo you can additionally specify the delivery method sub-type (country and specific method) — if you want to filter only a certain delivery option that will be shown to the buyer when choosing a delivery method.

Cost calculation is automatic. If a delivery method has a price of 0, the delivery is considered free. Delivery time can be set in days («0» — today, «1» — tomorrow, a range like «2–4» is possible); it is shown in the product information and exported to YML.

🛒 Ways to show delivery and payment in the product card

It is important for buyers to see delivery and payment terms before placing an order — this increases conversion. BooStore.pro provides several ways to show this information in the product card.

📡 Adding delivery information via Ajax

This approach lets you place any HTML in the delivery block: times, payment methods, self-pickup, pickup points — and update it in one place without editing each product card.
