Online payment methods
If a restaurant wishes to accept card payments online from their food clients, they need two things:

2. The "Connector" that connects your payment gateway with this online ordering system.
Here is a video that shows how all of this works.
The online payment methods can be enabled in the Setup -> Payments -> Online payment section, like this:
Once the online payments are active, other online payment methods also become available: card, GPay (through Stripe), Apple Pay (through Stripe), iDeal (through Stripe), Bancontact (through Stripe), PayPal.
