General Settings

In this article, you will learn how to configure settings for taxes, languages, analytics, and many other areas in Payrexx.

To access the general settings, navigate to Settings > General in the main menu of your merchant administration.

General Settings

At the top of the window, you can define the following three general settings:

1. Page title

The page title you enter will be displayed as the title in the browser window of your payment pages. It is recommended to use the name of the webshop, the company name, or the name of the association or organization.

2. Service status

To receive payments from your customers, the service status must be active. If the service status is inactive, your customers will not be able to access your payment pages. This can be useful while your Payrexx account is still being set up.

3. Default currency

Define your main currency to be displayed by default and pre-selected.

VAT Settings

In the next section, you can configure the VAT settings:

1. Enable taxes

Activate this toggle to display VAT on invoices to your customers and to define VAT rates.

2. VAT rates

Click the "Edit tax rates" button to add a new VAT rate or edit an existing one. All previously defined VAT rates will be displayed on the right side.

3. Show tax rate always in email

When this toggle is enabled, VAT will be displayed even if the rate is 0%. If the toggle is disabled, VAT will not be shown when the rate is 0%.

If no other VAT rate is specified, the default VAT rate will always be used.

Domain Settings

In this section, you can specify the domain under which your payment pages will be accessible.

By default, your domain is https://[instancename].payrexx.com. However, you can change this Payrexx-generated address to one of your choice by adjusting the necessary settings in the DNS configuration and verifying the domain accordingly.

1. Manual

The instructions will help you configure your DNS settings so that your payment pages are accessible under your desired domain.

3. Verify address

To complete this process, you need to verify the domain in a second step by clicking the corresponding button.

Language Settings

Regarding multilingualism, Payrexx offers the following settings:

Frontend

The term "frontend" refers to all areas of a system that are visible to the user or end customer. In the case of Payrexx, these are payment pages like Pages, Paylink, or Donation.

1. Enable multilingual frontend

If you want to offer your customers payment pages in multiple languages, you must first enable the multilingual frontend. For more information, refer to the following article:

Multilingual Frontend

2. Enable and disable languages

Once the multilingual frontend is active, you can specify which languages should be available (enabled) and which should not (disabled). To enable or disable a language, simply click on the respective language.

3. Default frontend language

Define the default language for the frontend here.

The content for the different languages can be created directly in the respective tool, such as Pages or Donation.

Administration

The settings in this section pertain to the language of the merchant administration. This is the area accessible only to you as a merchant when you log in to Payrexx.

4. Language for your user account

The interface of the merchant administration will be displayed in this language by default. This setting is user-specific, meaning each user can define their own default language here.

5. Default language for notifications

Unless another language is specified, notifications from Payrexx will be sent to the account administrator in the selected language.

Analytics Settings

In this section, you will find the settings for tracking with Google and Facebook:

By clicking the "Edit" button, you can enter the values for the Google Analytics ID, Google Tag Manager ID, and Facebook Pixel ID to set up tracking.

There is a distinction between website tracking and checkout tracking:

Website tracking: An event is triggered with each visit to one of the payment pages, allowing every visit to be tracked.
Checkout tracking: An event is triggered only after a successful payment.

For more information on tracking with Google Analytics and Facebook, please refer to the corresponding article:

Google Analytics Facebook/ Meta Pixel

Advanced Options

You can display the section with advanced options by clicking the "+" symbol. Here, you can configure the following settings:

1. User accounts

If this checkbox is activated, a user account will automatically be created for all users making a payment. If the checkbox is disabled, a user account will only be created if it is a subscription (recurring payment).

2. Activate pages overview page

By enabling the overview page, all payment pages will be linked together through a sitemap. The sitemap is linked in the footer of each payment page.

If this option is active, social share buttons will be displayed in the footer of the "Pages" and "Paylink" payment pages as follows:

4. Allow subscription cancellations by customers

By activating this option, you allow your customers to cancel their subscriptions themselves in the frontend.

5. Homepage

Define which payment page should be displayed as the default homepage for your customers.

6. Activate cookies by default

If this option is active, an opt-out for cookies will be established. This means that the customer accepts the cookie settings unless they take other action.

7. Receipt status

Activating this option ensures that Payrexx sends a transaction receipt in PDF form attached to the order confirmation to the customer when payments are successful.
