Good to know
A one-stop shop – with 100 years of experience
With PostFinance, you have a Swiss payment provider at your side who offers you a comprehensive payment solution for your online shop as a single provider. Benefit from stable and secure processing of payments and flexible customization options. With our dedicated support team, we are there to support you reliably in your day-to-day business, around the clock.
Prevention of fraud
With us, you can protect yourself from online fraud by rejecting invalid payment methods before the transaction. You can also exclude certain payment methods and block transactions from selected countries.
Reduced administrative burden
Our payment solution fits into your processes, such as accounting: you can find the sales reports (reconciliations) of the various acceptance partners and your archived sales receipts in your Checkout portal. You can export these as a CSV file with a single click and import them into your accounting software.
Collect payments by invoice and eBill
Offer your customers payment by invoice and eBill. To do so, activate the QR module in the Checkout portal: PostFinance Checkout sends the invoices, automatically reconciles incoming payments and triggers reminders if necessary. You also have the option of using PowerPay, whereby a partner will protect you against payment defaults.
Available with all subscription models.
Store and charge credit cards
You’ll automatically settle recurring payments, for example for subscriptions, with your customers. This means your customers won’t have to make the same payment manually every time and saves you administrative hassle.
Available with Checkout e-com bundle and Flex.
Send payment links
Send your customers a payment link that allows them to pay directly and securely using one of the connected payment methods. This is useful if you want an easy way to request payments without an additional checkout process.
Available with Checkout e-com bundle and Flex.
Use Charge Flow to get payment approval
With Charge Flow, you get your customers to approve payments by e-mail. This gives you flexibility in the amounts you request, for example for additional charges or services, without going through the traditional checkout process.
Available with Checkout e-com bundle and Flex.
Personalizing e-mails and documents
Send your customers e-mails or documents with your customized design.
Available with all subscription models.
Checkout for omnichannel
All Checkout price plans can be expanded at any time to an omnichannel solution with payment terminals for accepting cashless payments in-store.
