Keep an overview

All transactions can be managed directly in the shop system.

Advanced users can also customize the automatically preconfigured services and, if required, set up another shop (space) without additional costs.

Consolidated credit

You will receive a weekly credit to your account for the online shop revenue that you generate via PostFinance Checkout All-in-one. Details of the amount credited can be found in the consolidated invoice.
