It is often used to provide payment through money.\n\n## Store Cards (Own Brand)\nIt allows the use of a store's credit card with its own brand.\n\n## Store Cards (Co-Branded)\nIt allows the use of a store's credit card in partnership with one of the following networks: MasterCard, Visa, Amex and Diners.\n\n## How to configure\n\n1. In the VTEX Admin, go to **Store Settings** > **Payment** > **Settings**, or type **Settings** in the search bar at the top of the page.\n2. Select the **Custom Payments** tab.\n3. Select one of the custom payment options.\n4. Fill out the form fields and click on the **Save** button.\n\nAfter this configuration, the creation of a [Payment Condition](/en/docs/tutorials/how-to-configure-payment-conditions) is required.\n\n> _We recommend **using the automatic approval** only in cases where the payment will be made **upon delivery** or **pickup at the store**. This option releases the payment of the order, meaning that the order automatically switches to the Preparing Delivery status, without payment verification._"}
