With Ewerta, you can accept card payments and Pay Later.

In your merchant portal, go to Receive Payments. You will find a complete overview of your payment methods, along with options to enable or disable them.

Ewerta accepts all major payment cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and China Union Pay. It also follows all the required security standards, such as 3D Secure 2.

When your customers make a card payment, the money is first held in your Ewerta account balance. Funds are transferred to your bank account daily or according to your custom payout schedule.

Ewerta is working hard to increase its payment acceptance rate, but declined payments still happen.

If the customer contacts you about a declined payment, first make sure they have entered their payment details correctly and they have sufficient funds for the purchase.

You can view failed payment details in the payment timeline inside your merchant portal.

If they do not have sufficient funds for the purchase right now, Pay Later might be an option for them.

If your customer has any other issues, feel free to forward them to Ewerta customer support page.

With Pay Later, your customers can make a purchase now and pay 30 days later. The customer receives their purchase and you receive your payment when they order it.

Please note that this service is offered by Ewerta; there is no risk to you even if the customer does not pay. You will receive your money when the order is placed. Ewerta will evaluate your customer and their ability to pay. If there are problems with receiving the payment, it will be resolved by Ewerta, not you.

The service is free for your customer.

You are charged a standard transaction fee according to our Pricing.

You don’t have to pay any additional fees or charges even if the buyer does not make the payment on time.

You determine your own refund policy: when to issue them, whether they are full or partial, and when to reach another settlement. It should, however, be clearly stated on your website so your customers know what to expect.

To issue a refund, go to your merchant portal and select the appropriate transaction. Go to Transaction details and select Refund. You can also specify whether it is full or partial.

If the customer has requested a refund, you should settle it according to your own policy outside Ewerta platform. All customer liabilities with Ewerta are settled without involving you – the seller.

Ewerta uses Strong Customer Authentication with 3D Secure 2. Should a 3D Secure payment be disputed as fraudulent by the cardholder, the liability shifts from you to the card issuer. These types of disputes are handled internally, and do not result in funds being withdrawn from your account.

We partner with Stripe for processing card payments. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, best-in-class security tools and practices are used to maintain a high level of security.

We follow the strictest fraud prevention standards. We support 3D Secure 2 for all card transactions, checking the buyer identity in real time.

When using our Pay Later option, we check our customers to make sure they can make the payment. There is no risk for merchants with Pay Later: you receive your money from Ewerta. Even if the buyer has trouble making the payment, you are not affected in any way.

In addition to complying with all the required fraud prevention standards, Ewerta has its own transaction monitoring system. All our transactions are automatically evaluated by our system and scored on a number of criteria. Suspicious transactions are blocked to prevent later disputes and chargebacks.

AML, short for anti-money laundering, are legal requirements that financial service provider must follow. KYC stands for know your customer.

AML regulations are designed to keep online commerce safe. While this may mean some additional paperwork, we have made the entire process as seamless as possible. Whenever we ask you to fill out any KYC and AML forms, we explain exactly what we need from you and why we need it.

Ewerta sees its merchants as its business partners. We want you to succeed, so we built the Ewerta network to help you find new customers.

All our merchants are listed in the merchant directory on our homepage. Ewerta customers can use this directory to find new online shops and deals.

We also send out special offers to our customers, featuring deals from our merchants. If you would like to be featured in a special offer, get in touch with our sales team.
