Switch from Test Mode to Live Mode

The giropay payment provider is initially in test mode, allowing you to check if everything is working correctly. At the same time, GiroSolution will verify that all contract documents are in place.

Once GiroSolution has successfully completed this verification, you will be notified via email.

Then, in your GiroCockpit, change the project status from test to live so that your customers can pay with giropay.

The giropay payment provider is now successfully set up in Payrexx.
