# Payment Methods
> Explore the payment methods supported by Cashfree Payment Gateway, including cards, UPI, netbanking, bank transfers, wallets, and pay-later integrations.
The sections below explain how to integrate each payment method category on the [Payment Gateway](/payments/overview). To enable, configure, or check eligibility, see [Manage payment methods](#manage-payment-methods).
Payment methods in the same category follow a similar integration flow. Once you integrate one method, you can enable others in the same category with minimal configuration changes.
## Supported payment methods
Payment methods are grouped into six categories. Each category has different capabilities and integration requirements.
Support for Indian and international cards, and Apple Pay.
Support for UPI intent, QR, and collect flows.
Support for more than 50 major Indian banks.
Support for NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS bank transfers.
Support for digital wallets including PhonePe, Amazon Pay, and MobiKwik.
Support for cardless EMI and Pay Later methods.
## Manage payment methods
You can enable, disable, and configure payment methods based on your business requirements.
You can manage all enabled payment modes directly from the Merchant Dashboard. To manage payment methods, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the **[Merchant Dashboard](https://merchant.cashfree.com/auth/login)**.
2. Go to **Settings > Payment Gateway > Payment Methods**.
3. View all active payment modes.
4. To enable a new payment mode, select **Request** and follow the on-screen instructions.
Use the Cashfree APIs to manage and check [payment method eligibility](/payments/manage/payment-method-eligibility) for specific orders.
### Eligibility API
