# Connecting a Payment Gateway for Subscriptions
**Step 4 Click "Complete setup" under Shopify Payments** to connect your gateway. Once connected, the "Not Connected" banner clears.
**Note:** Test gateways can't process real recurring charges — use **Shopify Payments** for subscriptions.
**If migrating from another platform, connect your gateway *before* migrating:**
* **Card subscribers** import through Shopify Payments.
* **PayPal subscribers** import as billing agreements, which only work through the *same* PayPal account the customer used before. Connect that account as **PayPal Express** first, and get it approved by PayPal.
**Note:** PayPal billing agreements aren't covered by Shopify's paid migration service — import them separately via API.
