## FAQ

**How long does it take to activate a new payment method?**
Standard methods (Cards, UPI, Net Banking, Wallets) are available immediately after toggling in the Dashboard. Methods requiring partnerships (EMI, BNPL, International) may take 1–3 business days.

**Do I need separate integration for each payment method?**
With Hosted Checkout or iFrame Checkout, no — all enabled methods appear automatically. With Custom Checkout, you use method-specific API endpoints.

**Can I enable payment methods for specific transactions only?**
Yes. With Custom Checkout, you control which methods to present. With Hosted Checkout, use the `allowed_payment_modes` parameter to restrict methods per transaction.
