Release 2023.12

Shortly before the end of the year, we can once again present some exciting new functions and optimisations.

New functions

With the December release, test payouts are now also possible for the payment provider Payrexx Swiss Collecting.

Test payments in Swiss Collecting

Test payments and test payouts are now also possible in Swiss Collecting. This allows for credit card transactions to be tested in the Payrexx environment before live payments are received. The test payouts are made according to the payment interval in the merchant contract.

Three credit cards can be used for testing. The details and further information on testing can be found here:

Updates

Two external payment providers will be deactivated at the end of the year.

Deactivation of PostFinance PSP and Alias Gateway

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

The merchants affected are advised to switch to Payrexx's internal payment provider Swiss Collecting. Using Payrexx Swiss Collecting, 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 Swiss Collecting is free of charge.

Plugins

The Swiss payment method Reka-Card is now also available via the WooCommerce and Shopware plugin.

Reka-Card is only available in Switzerland and for certain merchant categories.

In addition to the functions and optimisations mentioned, some bug fixes have also been made to optimise usability.
