The new features pertain to the testing of payments and payouts from Payrexx Pay.

Test payments in Payrexx Pay

Payments and payouts for testing purposes are now also possible in Payrexx Pay. This allows you to test credit card transactions in the Payrexx test environment before you start accepting live payments.

Three credit cards can be used for test payments. The details and further information on testing can be found in the following article:

Updates

PostFinance has discontinued the PostFinance PSP and PostFinance Alias Gateway solutions as of the end of 2023. Therefore, these two payment providers are no longer available as of January 1, 2024.

Deactivation of PostFinance PSP and Alias Gateway

The external payment providers PostFinance PSP and PostFinance Alias Gateway will no longer be available as of 1 January 2024, as PostFinance is discontinuing these solutions.

Using Payrexx Pay, it is possible to offer all popular payment methods in Switzerland such as TWINT, Reka, Mastercard, Visa and Samsung Pay in addition to PostFinance Card and PostFinance E-Finance – without any additional contracts.

Switching to Payrexx Pay is free of charge.
