For payments at POS
- To accept payments at the point of sale (POS) in bricks-and-mortar stores, you need an EP2 payment terminal, as this supports the PostFinance Card payment method. You can obtain EP2 payment terminals from PostFinance, for example.
- An acceptance contract for Combo payment methods or PostFinance Card
- The status of corporate customer
- An account relationship with PostFinance or a third-party bank
For online shop payments
The following preconditions apply for acceptance in your online shop:
- The status of corporate customer with company ID no.
- An existing shop system (proprietary development or standard solution, e.g. Shopify or WooCommerce)
- Conclusion of the acceptance contract for PostFinance payment methods (business model and sector checked during the conclusion of the contract)
For omnichannel payments
For omnichannel payments, the relevant preconditions for both channels must be met:
- Online shop payments: see preconditions for online shops
