Setting up your Merchant Account

There are currently 2 options for setting up payment processing that will work with our web builder

The 2 types of payment processing that we support are PayPal and 2Checkout.com. PayPal is an excellent choice, but unfortunately, Bahamians can not currently participate in the PayPal network. So, unless your market is outside The Bahamas, we would suggest you use 2Checkout.com.

Either service requires that you first sign up to establish your payment account arrangements.

Setting up your MyBahamaShop account
