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

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.

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

Advanced Options
