Activating TWINT #
- Go to Payment providers.
- Click Configure next to Pay.
- Click the TWINT icon to activate it and save.
From then on, TWINT appears on all your payment pages.
What you can do with TWINT #
- One-off payments, subscriptions, pre-authorisations and tokenisation.
- Full and partial refunds (the amount must be rounded to 5 centimes).
- Amounts from CHF 0.50 to CHF 20’000.- per payment.
How the customer pays #
- Online: they choose TWINT on the payment page, scan the QR code with the app (or open the app on their phone) and confirm.
- At the counter: with a QR Pay code that the TWINT app can scan directly, or with a POS terminal or Tap to Pay.
TWINT «pay later» #
With this option the customer chooses in the TWINT app, when paying, whether to pay immediately or within 30 days. You receive the money as with a normal payment. It is available in all 1pay.ch plans.
- The person must be at least 31 years old.
- Some sectors are excluded from this option: we will tell you when you apply.
- TWINT must already be active with the Pay provider.
To activate it: write to us at info@1pay.ch. We forward the request, and after TWINT’s check you receive confirmation by e-mail. It usually takes 3 to 7 working days.
