# How to Update Payment Gateways

To use third-party subscription apps like Joy Subscriptions, your store must be using one of the following payment gateways: **Shopify Payments, PayPal Express, Authorize.net, Stripe,** or **Adyen on Shopify**. If your store does not use one of these payment gateways, your customers won’t be able to purchase subscriptions.

To update your payment gateways, follow these steps:

**Step 1: Open the Joy Subscriptions Dashboard**

**Step 2: Click the Warning Banner**:

If your payment gateway is not supported, you will see a warning banner at the top of the Joy Subscriptions dashboard. Click on the banner and select **"Update Payment Gateways"**.

**Step 3: Navigate to Shopify Payment Settings**: You will be redirected to the payment settings in your Shopify admin.

**Step 4: Update Payment Gateways**:

* In the payment settings, configure your store’s payment gateway to ensure it is one of the supported options: **Shopify Payments, PayPal Express, Authorize.net, Stripe,** or **Adyen on Shopify**.
* Make sure all payment information is correctly entered and up to date.

**Step 5: Save Changes**: After updating the payment gateway settings, save your changes.

**Step 6: Return to Joy Subscriptions**

**Step 7: Refresh Status**: Click **"Refresh Status"** on the warning banner to check if the payment gateway update was successful. If the update is successful, the warning banner should disappear.
