## What's a Payment Module Provider?
|
||
|
||
A payment module provider registers a payment provider that handles payment processing in the Medusa application. It integrates third-party payment providers, such as Stripe.
|
||
|
||
To authorize a payment amount with a payment provider, a payment session is created and associated with that payment provider. The payment provider is then used to handle the authorization.
|
||
|
||
After the payment session is authorized, the payment provider is associated with the resulting payment and handles its payment processing, such as to capture or refund payment.
|
||
|
||

## System Payment Provider
|
||
|
||
The Payment Module provides a `system` payment provider that acts as a placeholder payment provider.
|
||
|
||
It doesn’t handle payment processing and delegates that to the merchant. It acts similarly to a cash-on-delivery (COD) payment method.

||

||
|
||
## How are Payment Providers Created?
|
||
|
||
A payment provider is a module whose main service extends the `AbstractPaymentProvider` imported from `@medusajs/framework/utils`.
|
||
|
||
Refer to [this guide](/references/payment/provider) on how to create a payment provider for the Payment Module.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Configure Payment Providers
|
||
|
||
The Payment Module accepts a `providers` option that allows you to register providers in your application.
|
||
|
||
Learn more about this option in [this documentation](../module-options/page.mdx#providers).
|
||

|
||
|
||
## PaymentProvider Data Model
|
||
|
||
When the Medusa application starts and registers the payment providers, it also creates a record of the `PaymentProvider` data model if none exists.
|
||
|
||
This data model is used to reference a payment provider and determine whether it’s installed in the application.
