How Long Does Payment Gateway Integration Take?

[Edinson]

I’m trying to plan my launch. Realistically, how long does it take to integrate a payment system from scratch?

Integration time depends on your platform and the complexity of your setup. With plugins, it could be hours. Custom APIs take longer—sometimes a week or more. Teams that’ve used Cashier Services mention smooth onboarding processes, though timelines vary based on KYC checks and business model. Plan for testing, not just coding.
