How to activate a payment gateway

The whole process takes under five minutes. Here it is, step by step:

1
Log in or create your account

Head to litekart.in and sign in. If you're new, sign up — it's free to start and there's no credit card required.

2
Create or select your store

After login, create a new store or select an existing one. You'll land on your admin dashboard at admin.litekart.in/dash.

3
Open Payment Methods from the sidebar

Look for "Payment Methods" in the left navigation — it sits right alongside Orders, Products, and Settings.

Click "Activate" on your chosen gateway

Find the gateway you want and hit the Activate button. This opens a settings panel where you'll enter your credentials.

5
Paste in your API Key and Secret

Every gateway gives you a key pair from their developer dashboard — an API Key and an API Secret. Paste both and you're done.

You're live — green badge confirmed

Hit Activate and Litekart validates the keys instantly. If everything checks out, the status flips to a green "Live" badge. Customers can now checkout using that method.

A few things worth knowing

Where do I find my API keys?

Each provider has a developer or API section in their dashboard. Here's the fast route:

  • Stripe — Developers → API Keys
  • PayPal — developer.paypal.com → My Apps & Credentials
  • Razorpay — Settings → API Keys
  • Cashfree — Developers → API Keys
  • AffirmPay — Dashboard → Integration

Pro tip: Always start with test/sandbox keys first. Litekart works with both sandbox and live credentials, so you can do a full checkout rehearsal before going live with real money.

Can I have multiple gateways active at once?

Yes, absolutely. Most stores run two or three in parallel — Stripe for cards, Razorpay for UPI, PayPal for international buyers. They don't interfere with each other. Customers see all active methods at checkout and pick what works for them.

What if my keys are wrong?

Litekart validates credentials the moment you hit Activate. If something's off, you'll get an error right there in the form. No mystery, no guessing — fix the key and try again. Make sure the keys match the environment (test vs. live) and that your account is fully verified on the provider's side. That covers 90% of edge cases.


That's it — you're ready to get paid

No waiting for approval, no setup calls, no plugin conflicts. You paste in two keys and Litekart does the rest — routing payments, handling webhooks, managing refunds.

🚀 Ready to go? Head over to litekart.in, spin up your store, and activate your first gateway. The whole thing — signup to first live payment — can happen in under 30 minutes.
