Introduction
Depending on your business needs, you may want to accept card payments. We accept payments via Visa, Electron, MasterCard and Maestro in euros (EUR) only. You can set different type of payments to match your business requirements, even combining them in the same Checkout session.
Create a payment
In-session payment
You can invite your customer to our Checkout, allowing them to enter their payment information, without storing these.
You need to create an order, containing a payment item, with the flag capture set to True.
Off-session payment
If you have already registered a card alias containing your customer's card information, you can use this card alias to trigger payments via our API, without the customer having to go through the Checkout process.
