You want to accept cards, TWINT, PostFinance Pay, Apple Pay and maybe Klarna. The problem isn’t the technology, it’s the paperwork. A contract with the card acquirer, one with TWINT, one with PostFinance, each with its own forms, checks and monthly invoices. For a small business, that’s a wall. But there’s a simpler way.
The problem with separate contracts
When you handle each payment method with a different provider, you end up with:
- several activation procedures, each with different documents and timelines;
- several dashboards to check to find out how much you’ve taken;
- several payouts into your account, to reconcile by hand;
- several invoices and monthly fees, sometimes even for methods you hardly use.
The solution: one contract for every method
With 1pay.ch you sign once and get over 20 payment methods:
- Swiss: TWINT, PostFinance Pay, invoice, Reka.
- Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and others.
- Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay.
- Pay later: Klarna and TWINT “pay later”, available on every plan.
- International: SEPA, iDEAL and other European methods, plus crypto.
All takings end up in a single dashboard and reach your account in a single periodic payout.

You don’t need a registered company: SMEs, associations, tradespeople and even private individuals can sign up. No software to install: everything works in the browser.
No hidden costs
No activation costs and, on the Starter plan, no monthly fee. You only pay a fee when you get paid. The features are identical on every plan: a monthly fee only gets you lower transaction fees.
Where you use them
The same methods work across every channel:
- in the shop, with the POS terminal or Tap to Pay;
- at the market or at events, with a QR code;
- online, in the integrated shop or on your WooCommerce website;
- remotely, with payment links and digital invoices.

Do you really need all of them?
No, and you don’t have to switch them all on. The beauty of having them included is that you can turn on the ones your customers ask for, without new applications. If one day a customer from abroad wants to pay with a European method, it’s already there.
