Do you want to offer payment methods to your online shop’s customers as easily and flexibly as possible? You need a PostFinance Payment Service solution (PSP solution) for this. This is where Checkout from PostFinance comes into play.
Did you know? With the e-com bundle, we gift you the set-up fee, a 25 percent discount on the transaction fees in the first three months as well as a free PostFinance business account and PostFinance Card for three years.
With Checkout All-in-One and e-com bundle, the acceptance partner Wallee/SnapSwap and the corresponding payment methods are already preconfigured. You cover all common payment methods with just one contract.
With Checkout Flex, you are free to choose which acceptance partner best fits your business and send the corresponding contracts to them directly in the Checkout portal.

In addition to the stated payment methods, you can offer your customers the following payment options with Checkout Flex:
Charge customers recurring amounts, e.g. subscriptions, directly.
Your customers pay directly using a payment link with one of the given payment methods.
Automate debits by e-mail with charge flow.
Alongside the direct payment methods, you can also offer your customers payment by invoice or eBill. To do this, you also take out the QR module in the Checkout portal. This allows you to send the QR-bill via e-mail or as an eBill directly in e-banking. Checkout automatically compares incoming payments with the invoices/eBills sent and reports these back to your shop system and logistics. The system sends reminders automatically.
You can find the sales reports (reconciliations) of the different acceptance partners and your 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.
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.
You can send your customers e-mails or documents in your customized design.
In the support area of our website, you can find answers to common questions on all payment methods, use of Checkout back office tools and installation of plug-ins and connected services.
Our technical support can assist you by telephone during our opening hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and by e-mail within two working days.
With Support Plus and an active Checkout subscription, you benefit from even more support. You reach us via a separate telephone number and receive a reply to your e-mails within six hours.
Get advice over a 12-month period on the development of your payment solution in video sessions of approximately two hours. Book your session early. On request, we can also advise you outside our opening hours.

The security of transactions in your online shop takes the highest priority. Once you have submitted all required documents in the Checkout portal, they will be checked. Generally speaking, you can process the first transactions with the e-com bundle and All-in-One within ten days. With Flex, the time until the first transaction depends on the chosen acceptance partners. PostFinance has no influence over this.

E-payment refers to the digital processing of payments, such as those carried out in an online shop, whereby cash or a physical payment terminal isn’t necessary.
So that you, as a retailer, are able to accept these payments, conclude a contract with a payment service provider (PSP) such as PostFinance. Then decide which payment methods you would like to offer your customers.
With the Checkout payment solution, PostFinance provides a service tailored to the size and needs of your company with different pricing plans. You can easily integrate your chosen payment options into your online shop as plug-ins – and your customers benefit from a convenient and secure shopping experience.
E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services on the Internet.
A central component of e-commerce is the integration of modern payment methods like credit cards, TWINT, PostFinance Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay in your online shop. This is where the Checkout payment solution from PostFinance comes into play. With Checkout, you can easily integrate all common payment methods and offer your customers a seamless shopping experience.
Many companies from a variety of sectors use Checkout to get their online shop off to a good start.
The Café-Théâtre Barnabé in Servion brings dinner and a show together in a special way – and is celebrating successes with Checkout in its online shop, that extend far beyond French-speaking Switzerland.
