Further development of the payment method PostFinance Pay
From 10 July 2023, we will be gradually implementing a new payment method for online shops with PostFinance Pay, which will replace the two previous “PostFinance Card” and “PostFinance e-finance” payment methods. There is no need to use the PostFinance Card or the reader for transaction processing in the online shop. Customers can process their transactions easily and conveniently via the PostFinance App. This improves the customer experience and lays the foundations for conversion rate optimization.
You will need a business account at PostFinance or at a third-party bank and an acquiring contract with PostFinance. You will also require a contract with a payment service provider that has integrated the interface to PostFinance.
