# Reka-Check

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

## General Information

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

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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/external-payment-provider/manual-payment-methods/reka-check.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
