How to change the allowed amounts for Payment Gateways
Last updated September 30, 2025
“Help! I’m a PaperCut partner or System Administrator, and I want to configure the pre-defined allowed amounts that users can top up their accounts with using our Payment Gateway. How do I make this change?”
Steps
- Log onto the server running PaperCut.
- Navigate to the Payment Gateway configuration file. On a typical PaperCut MF server running Windows, this would be found in
C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\server\lib-ext\and the file should be titledext-payment-gateway-<your payment gateway type>.properties. - Open up this file in Notepad or any text editing program.
- Find the line that contains
allowed-amounts=. For example:paypal.allowed-amounts=2.00,5.00,10.00. - Edit this line to contain the desired allowed amounts.
- Then restart the server or the PaperCut Primary Application Server Service for these changes to take effect. See: Stopping and Starting (Restarting) PaperCut Services.
