Payment Methods

With wallee payments you accept the essential payment methods for the Swiss and Luxembourgish market through a single contract. This page lists the methods included, on which sales channels each of them works and in which currencies they are settled.

Payment methods are activated as part of your onboarding. Once your contract is active, the corresponding connectors are configured for you — see Processors, Payment Methods and Connectors if you want to understand how the configuration fits together.
