These payment categories fully cover all internet commerce requirements. According to your needs you can activate a selected payment category or individual payment methods entirely individually and free of charge.

A PSD2 payment is a new type of bank transfer based on the European PSD2 payments directive. The aim of this payment method is to make bank transfers simpler and faster.
