Yes, you can create your own payment system and still use the e-commerce plan in Webflow without using Webflow checkout. Webflow provides flexibility to integrate third-party payment gateways of your choice. This allows you to create a customized payment system that aligns with your business requirements. Here's how you can achieve this:

Select a third-party payment gateway: Choose a payment gateway that fits your needs and supports integration with Webflow. Popular options include PayPal, Stripe, Square, and Braintree.
Set up an account with the payment gateway: Create an account with the chosen payment gateway and complete any necessary verification or documentation processes.
Enable the payment gateway integration in Webflow: In your Webflow project, go to the Ecommerce settings and select the "Payment" tab. Choose the third-party payment gateway you want to integrate with.
Configure the payment gateway settings: Follow the documentation or instructions provided by the payment gateway to configure the necessary settings. This typically involves adding API keys or credentials from the payment gateway to your Webflow project.
Design and customize your checkout process: In Webflow's Designer or Editor, customize the checkout process to match your website's branding and user experience. This may involve designing the shopping cart, product pages, and checkout pages.
Test the payment system: Before going live, it's crucial to thoroughly test the payment system to ensure it functions correctly. This includes testing transactions, handling various scenarios, and checking for any errors or issues.
Go live with your custom payment system: Once you are confident with the payment integration and have completed all necessary testing, you can publish your website and start accepting payments through your own payment system.

By integrating a third-party payment gateway, you can maintain control over the payment process while utilizing Webflow's e-commerce features to manage your products, inventory, and orders seamlessly.
