Reka-Check

This article will Learn how to set up the Reka-Check payment method in Payrexx to receive payments.

Reka-Check is a payment method issued by the Schweizer Reisekasse (Reka), a cooperative organization for social tourism in Switzerland.

The following article explains how to activate Reka-Check in Payrexx.

General

Reka-Checks are vouchers or prepaid cards that can be used to book accommodations, restaurants, and leisure activities in Switzerland.

After completing a booking, customers will receive an email with payment instructions, the content of which you can customize. Among other details, you will provide the address where your customers should send their Reka-Checks.

Since Reka-Check is a manual payment method, you must change the payment status in Payrexx from "open" to "paid" once you have received the Reka-Checks.

For the Reka-Check payment method, payouts are not processed through Payrexx.
