Configuring giropay in Payrexx

1. Copy the Verkäufer-ID from your giropay project into this field.

2. Copy the Projekt-ID from your giropay project into this field.

3. Copy the Projekt-Passwort from your giropay project into this field.

4. Click on "Edit Fees" and enter the fees as specified in your contract with giropay.

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.
