Customers can pay for an order in different ways — cash, credit or debit card, and so on. You can record these payment methods in Maestra Platform and pass them along with your order data.

**1. Go to Settings → Products and orders → Payment methods and click Add**

**2. Fill in the fields**

* **Name** — the payment method name shown in the list.
* **External ID** — the payment method's ID in your external system. It's how the payment method is written in your integrations.

**3. Click Create to save the payment method**
