- a) PayPal and SOFORT bank transfer
A separate pop-up window opens for each selected payment method, where you enter your Unzer account details (login, sender, password and channel). Your channel varies depending on the payment method. Optionally, you can select one or all of the additional settings. Finally, click Save and the data you entered is verified automatically.
b) Credit card
Enter your Unzer account details (login, sender, password and channel) in the
pop-up window that opens (Where can I find the required information?). Next, select the credit card types linked to your Unzer account and a transaction type. Two settings are available – "Authorize & Capture" (the payment is captured immediately) and "Authorize Only" (the payment is only made after approval). If you need more details, you can find them in the article "Which transaction type should I use?".
You can also adjust the additional settings (optional). When you're done, click Save. Your account details are then verified automatically.
That's it! As soon as you have saved your entries for all desired payment methods, Unzer is activated.
