Setting up manual (offline) payments in Ecwid

In addition to online payments, you can accept payments outside of your store (i.e., offline). You can instruct customers how to pay you (e.g., by cash, check, bank transfers, etc.) by writing instructions.

Collecting payment is not immediate in these methods. Orders purchased with a manual payment option are marked as Awaiting Payment (Ecwid admin panel → Payment). The order status will remain Awaiting Payment until you arrange payment, collect the funds, and mark the order as Paid.
