Stripe
Connect Stripe to offer Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit card checkout options.
PayPal

Selecting a plan
Once your store is set up and you're ready to sell to customers, you'll choose a plan. There are three plans available, offered as either monthly or yearly subscriptions.
Choosing a yearly plan will save some money. If you're unsure of committing to a year, you can always start with a monthly plan and upgrade to a yearly plan later.
