Although there are some clients who don’t want to pay for their Shopify orders with credit cards. However, if you set up a manual payment option in Shopify, customers can still place an order online. When your clients use manual Shopify payments, you can make sure their payments are received in the way that works best for them. You can send invoices to your customers. After receiving the payment, you can manually approve the order. Common types of manual payments include cash on delivery (COD), money orders, and bank transfers. There are no third party transaction fees for manual payments.

How are manual payments understood in Shopify?

Shopify’s manual payment method is a payment setting that determines which payment method you can use, just as Shopify transactions are charged.

On the Orders page, orders that accept manual payments are identified as unpaid. After receiving payment for a customer’s order, you can mark the order as paid on the order detail page and fulfill the order as you would if they had made an online payment.
