Find bank transfer in Connected apps
Connected apps is the directory of everything Crate plugs into — shipping, payments, marketing. Here's how to reach bank transfer from it and turn it on.
Crate's Connected apps page is the one place to see everything your store integrates with — couriers like Shipbubble and Fez, payment providers, messaging and marketing tools. It's where you go when you're not sure where a particular integration is configured.
Paying by bank transfer is one of those options. Because it's a built-in Crate payment method (not an external app you authenticate against), its switch lives on the Payments page rather than behind a credentials form. This guide shows the path from Connected apps to turning it on.
Connected apps vs Payments
Think of Connected apps as the catalogue and Payments as the control room for money specifically. Third-party tools you authenticate with API keys appear as cards in Connected apps; native ways to get paid — bank transfer, Paystack mode, who covers the fee — are managed in detail under Settings → Payments.
Tip: Already on the Payments page? Skip straight to Direct bank transfer — there's no need to detour through Connected apps. See Accept direct bank transfer for the full setup, including adding your bank account.
Once it's on
Customers picking bank transfer at checkout see your verified account number, account name, bank and a reference. You confirm the money landed, mark the order paid, and fulfil — same as any other order.
