Zip Pay integrates with Hike seamlessly. To start the integration, we will have to add a new payment type and provide a name to it.



Here, please select a name for this payment type and select the Zip pay ecomm from the drop-down menu.

We have selected name ZIP here but you can have any name you wish. 



Click on SAVE and a new payment type is ready to be configured.

2. Navigate to the Settings section.
3. Click on Integrations or Integration Details.

A Public Key or Unique ID (sometimes referred to as Client ID).

Copy that key and paste into the ZIP pay integration page on Hike and click on 'Configure'. 



You will see the ZIP pay successfully configured if the API keys are correct.



You will be able to see ZIP payment at the Check-out page when making the payment for the online order.




2. Stripe payment

To integrate Stripe with Hike eCommerce, please create a new payment type under eCommerce payments.

We have named it Stripe here and select the Stripe Check-out from the drop-down.
