Request payment methods

Onlineshop24 creates the technical conditions so that payments can be processed in your shop.

In addition to the technical requirements, the shop operator must set up an account in his name with various payment providers.

Onlineshop24 offers as a service that the accounts for the various payment methods are opened in the name of the shop operator.
For each payment method we have also created a detailed step-by-step guide, with the help of which you can also apply for the payment methods yourself and provide Onlineshop24 with the API data.

Onlineshop24 has created a file, which you please fill out and make available to us again. The grey fields are required to create the imprint page according to the legal requirements.

If you want to apply for the payment method yourself, we also need the information in the blue fields.

If you would like to instruct Onlineshop24 to open the accounts for you, we need the information in the yellow fields. The information in the yellow fields is collected by the payment providers and is also a helpful orientation for you if you make the application yourself.

Please download the Onlineshop24 master data sheet and follow the following explanations when filling out the template.

If you prefer to keep the Bitcoin, we will write the purchase amount in Bitcoin directly to your Bitcoin Wallet. For this we need a Bitcoin address from you.
