To make the process as smooth as possible, you need to set up the right payment gateway for your business. GlobalLinker’s eCommerce platform – Linker.store - provides you with three integrated payment gateway options: Razorpay, CCAvenue, Paypal. 

In this guide, we will walk you through how to activate the Razorpay payment gateway.
