PAY. tries to customise its services to the requirements of the client. For that reason we offer 4 different packages.


PAY. has in-depth cooperations with some partners and platforms. This means our payment solutions are fully integrated in the partner's platform or software. For the customers of these Alliance Partners (Submerchants) PAY. offers a package in which the features, payout speeds and rates depend on the type of service and cooperation with this partner. The setup is determined in consultation with the partner. This partner is therefore your first point of contact, PAY. cannot just change features or switch (payment) options on or off.

  • Webshop developers that offer a hosted solution (SaaS-oplossing) to many customers.
  • Donation websites (that receive payments for multiple charities).
  • Product comparison websites (or APP’s) that receive payments for many providers.
  • Franchise chains (where payments are received on behalf of franchisees).
  • Food delivery websites with multiple reataurants.
  • Ticketing providers with multiple event organisers.
  • Reservation systems.

You invoice your customer for your services, including the transaction costs. Your customer only needs to sign and upload the 'single-page' agreement with Pay.nl once, and they can get started.

7. Merchant (company)

Your M-code

If you choose PAY. to process payments for your organisation, we will refer to your business as “The Merchant.” When you communicate with PAY. , we may ask for your merchant code. This code starts with the letter M, followed by two strings of four digits each, e.g. M-9898-6565.

7.1. Sign-up

You can register your company with the following URL: https://www.pay.nl/en?register.

Access to multiple companies
Personal upper bar

Multiple companies?

PAY. provides merchant connections per unique company (COUNTRY + business registration). If you want to register multiple companies, you must submit each company separately. We are obliged to audit every company according to the same rules. You must therefore always go through the full acceptance procedure.

Register with an e-mailadress that you have already used before

If you already have a personal account and you enter your e-mail address and password during the registration process (step 3), your personal account will be directly linked to the added merchant account. If your personal account has already been checked and you have supplied the requested documents for identification, you do not need to add the documents all over again. If you use a new e-mail address, we may change your account during the identification procedure. If you log in with your personal account, you will then be able to switch between the companies you have access to in the top right of the Admin Panel menu.

Affiliation to a parent company

It is possible to obtain a connection with the parent company (holding company) of a company. You must purchase the business package once from a parent company. This way you can avoid having to pay package and compliance costs multiple times.

The difference with 'multiple companies'

  • You can use this construction to create reports based on your total turnover without having to switch. You can add a turnover group and/or sales location per subsidiary, which means you can manage your reports and you can also split your financial flows.
  • You cannot give your users limited insight into a part of the turnover. A user with all permission will see the entire turnover of the parent company.

Linking additional persons

The terms of our licence require us to verify the identities of directors and UBOs and UBOs . We do so by creating a personal account for every director who has signed our agreement, to which they can then add a copy of their ID. For the UBO, we record the data that you provide by filling out the UBO form or we use data from trade registers. In order to verify these data, we may ask for this person’s ID, which they can add to their personal account.

UBO

Ultimate Beneficial Owner: A person who has a stake in the organisation’s profits. Foundations or other non-profit organisations have pseudo UBOs. These are the natural persons who, although they do not have a stake in the profits, do have a say in what is done with the organisation’s funds.

  • Direct UBO (e.g. shareholder of a private company, a general partnership or the owner of a one-man business).
  • Indirect UBO (when a holding or foundation administration office is located hierarchically above the business)
  • Pseudo UBO (persons who have a say in or are the owner of a non-profit organisation).

Read more about UBOs at: https://www.dirkzwager.nl/kennis/artikelen/definitie-ubo-en-het-ubo-register/

Example of a private company

Peter and Paul both own the shares of a business. Paul is the company’s director and has a stake of 70%. Peter owns the remaining 30% of the shares, which he has placed in his holding: “Peter Management.”

Paul is 70% direct UBO.
Peter is 30% indirect UBO.

Example of a foundation

Janneke is the treasurer of the “Help a Child” foundation. Francien and Carla are the directors, while Mieke handles the administration.

Janneke is pseudo UBO, because, as treasurer, she has access to the foundation’s funds.
Francien is pseudo UBO.
Carla is pseudo UBO.
Mieke is not an UBO, because she does not have a say nor can she access the foundation’s funds.

Example of a general partnership


Tim and Tom are the co-owners of a general partnership

Tim is 50% direct UBO.
Tom is 50% directe UBO.

Example of a one-man business

Puck owns a one-man business.

Puck is 100% direct UBO.

7.3. Add Employees

From now on you can add multiple users to your connection with every PAY. package. This is ideal if you manage your website together with colleagues or if you want to give your accountant or web builder access.

You can assign separate right groups to each personal account. This way you can for instance give your web builder access to all functions except financial data.

Activate extra employees

The option 'Additional employee accounts' is not activated by default. You can activate this option via the link 'Change package options' on the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant. Make sure the option 'Multiple users' Figure: Activate extra employees in the pop-up is checked.

Revoke access of the Business Partner

When your account has been created by or via a PAY. Business Partner, it is possible to grant this Partner access to your Merchant account. The Partner can retrieve your API credentials to setup the technical implementation and possibly support in completing your Merchant file. It is also possible for the partner to turn payment options on and off, or to activate options within your package. When the connection has been set up, the partner can imitate to your Merchant Account to perform these actions.

Revoking access

To revoke access to your Partner, you can view the partner connection via your Company details page under the Agreement header Figure: Revoke access of the Business Partner. Click on the Partner to view and manage the access. Then press the red button to revoke the access.

7.6. API Tokens

API token overview

We use API tokens to connect your software to PAY. ‘s technology. A token consists of a code (AT-1234-1234) and the actual token itself (between 32 and 64 characters). By default, each merchant has a single API token, although you can add an unlimited number of tokens from the professional package.

Adding an API token

Account or token?

  • A person has an account with a username and a password, with which they can perform actions, depending on which permissions have been enabled.
  • A system has an API token with a code and a hash, with which it can perform certain actions, depending on which permissions have been enabled.

IP security

If you choose to use IP security to make your API tokens even more secure, you can submit a server list to us. In your overview, the token will be marked with a green padlock icon.

Assigning permissions to tokens

Both an account and an API token are linked to one or more permission groups. Whereas accounts often receive a combination of permissions, an API token generally only needs permission to initiate a transaction and retrieve the status. If you want to issue refunds via your software, you must assign refund permissions as well.

7.7. Tradenames and brands

By default, payments made by your customers via our system are paid to Stichting Pay on behalf of “your company name,” along with a payment reference. From the Professional package, you can add you own tradename. That means your customers will see your tradename instead of your company name on both the payment screen and their bank statement.

Activating the option to use your tradename

Activating the option to use your tradename

The option to use your tradename is not activated by default. You can activate this option via the “Change package options” link on the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant. In the pop-up window, make sure to check the “Public / Tradename” option Figure: Activating the option to use your tradename.

Need help with the activation?

More information about activating a package option can be found here. If you want to use your tradename, but your current package does not support this option, you can easily upgrade your package.

Adding a tradename
Tradename added

1. Adding a tradename

Once you have activated the option to use tradenames, you can add the tradenames you want to use. To do so, follow these steps:

  • On your Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant.

  • Under “Company information,” you will see the field marked Tradenames Figure: Adding a tradename. Enter the tradename you want to use. If you want to add more than one tradename, use the green plus icon to add another name.

    The “Professional” package lets you add one tradename. You can add an unlimited number of tradenames from the “Business” package.

  • Click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen.

  • If the tradename you added is included on the COC extract and we can validate it automatically, it will be approved immediately. If that is not the case, the tradename will be shown in orange. Figure: Tradename addedThis means that a PAY. staff member must first verify your chosen tradename. In most cases, this will happen within 24 hours.

Change service
Setting up your tradename

2. Setting up your tradename

Once you have added a tradename, you can link it to the sales location (web shop) for which you want to use it.

3. Domain name as tradename

PAY. can only show registered tradenames in payment descriptions. You can list the URL in the description. If you want to show “Webshop.nl via PAY.nl,” you must register your domain name as a tradename with the Chamber of Commerce, the CBE registry (Belgium) or a similar organisation. After doing so, you can use your domain name as a tradename.

7.8. Clearing accounts

The funds that the PAY. Foundation manages for you can be periodically transferred (cleared) to your bank account. This is known as your clearing account. A clearing account has to meet a number of conditions.

Your clearing account:

  • Must be an IBAN number in the SEPA area
  • Must be registered to your company name or registered tradename.
  • Must be a business account.

II use my private bank account for my business as well. Is that allowed?

We do not allow private bank accounts to be used as clearing accounts. Contact your bank to open a business account. The reasons for this restriction are described in our blog at www.pay.nl/blog/waarom-altijd-een-zakelijke-bankrekening.

View based on a single clearing account

Adding a clearing account

You can add a clearing account by going to 'Merchant -> Company information'Company information” in the Admin Panel. The “Bank information / Clearing account” section contains the option to add a new account. You can do so by making a payment in the amount of €0.49. This amount is added to your balance after you complete the payment. You can also reimburse the payment to your account once the verification process is complete. If you wish, you can add the bank account manually by entering the name of the account holder, the account’s IBAN number and possibly your BIC code. If you choose to manually add an account, you must submit a copy of a bank statement for verification purposes.

If you have already added an account and have not activated the “Multiple clearing accounts” option, your previous clearing account will be overwritten.

View based on multiple clearing accounts

Adding multiple clearing accounts

If you want to add multiple clearing accounts, for example because you want to divide your revenue, you can activate the option to do so in the Business package. After this upgrade, you can add an unlimited number of clearing accounts. The aforementioned verification procedure must be repeated for each bank account you add.

7.9. General data

Contact information
Please provide the contact information of your company. These can also be sent to the payment options for boarding purposes.

7.10. Deposit & rolling reserve

Deposit visible in financial overview

The different payment options we offer each carry their own risks. For some payment options, the risks are limited (i.e. iDEAL and Bancontact). PAY. is a licensed financial institution that handles payments for businesses. If a business should go bankrupt, we have a reputation risk but no financial risks. This is different for credit card payments where the chain is responsible for any losses due to chargebacks. If a business goes bankrupt, the issuing bank will reclaim the amounts from PAY. via a number of intermediate parties. If a business goes bankrupt, the financial institution will still have to pay these amounts which is why credit card payments are often subject to higher risk premiums in the form of extra percentage points. In accordance with the terms of our licence and in order to secure third-party funds, PAY. has a mandatory equity capital (at least € 1.000.000,-). This amount of money allows us to guarantee the unpaid amounts to our merchants and cope with any losses incurred when a merchant goes bankrupt. To ensure that all of our clients' funds are safe, we may opt to use a deposit, a rolling reserve or delayed payments with a release term for certain businesses.

Fixed deposit

A relatively clear option is to set up a fixed deposit. This means that a fixed amount of the business balance is frozen. This amount is safely stored in PAY.‘s Stichting Derdengelden account and will be made available when the risk profile of the business is lowered. If new or larger risks occur, the deposit amount may be raised instead.

Rolling reserve

A rolling reserve is a certain part of a business revenue that is frozen for a certain period of time. For example, we may decide to pay out 10% of your credit card traffic after 180 days. This does make the payment process more complex because you will receive 90% of a payment after five days and the remaining 10% after 180 days.

Release term

The release term is a period during which an entire transaction remains under PAY.'s control because we have not yet received the amount in question from the chosen payment option or because we use this time to cover small risks. In practice, an extended release term is an efficient way to prevent fraud and abuse by businesses, but it does not help in case of a bankruptcy. The latter usually occurs suddenly and we cannot hold on to a businesses' revenue indefinitely.

Factors that increase a company's deposit

  • Your company has a large number of bad reviews or disputes
  • Your company makes use of a relatively large percentage of high-risk payment options
  • Your company has an extended period of time between order and delivery, e.g. for (plane) tickets
  • Your company has submitted its annual figures late
  • Your company has a low credit score
  • Your company is active in a sector with a high risk of bankruptcy
  • Your company has a low profit margin
  • Your company is active for a short time
  • Third parties involved
  • Your company has a high financial gearing
  • Your company's directors are not shareholders or only have minority shares
  • Your company, the holding company or a director has previously been involved in a bankruptcy
  • Failures in reporting directorial or shareholder changes in a timely manner
  • Your financial statements have not been submitted to the Chamber of Commerce in time or do not provide insight (financial position)

Factors that lower a company's deposit

  • Your company uses a lot of low-risk payment options.
  • Your company has been a client of PAY. for a long time and has had few disputes, low chargebacks, fraud rates and MOI reports.
  • Your company provides clear insight into your payment traffic and delivery data.
  • Guarantees provided by UBOs or other external parties.
  • Your company has existed for a long time with a good reputation.

Objecting to a deposit amount

PAY. cannot simply set a deposit amount. There must be a proper reason and the deposit amount must be fair and reasonable. If we raise your deposit amount significantly, we will record our reasons for doing so internally. If you are dissatisfied with your deposit amount, you can file a complaint via compliance@pay.nl. Please state clearly how the deposit amount has unfairly impacted your business and what guarantees that you can offer to lower your company's risk profile.

Retaining a deposit isn't free.

The terms of our licence state that we must properly store all third-party funds, including deposits. Storing funds is not free for PAY. Financial institutions charge each other for this service. More information is available at Euribor rates Europe. We will not charge you for holding amounts up to € 100.000,-. If you want us to hold on to funds for more than five working days, we may charge a service fee. We will discuss this with you beforehand.

7.11. Change company registration

If you change your legal form, you must submit a new PAY. registration. We recommend that you go through these steps in good time, so that when your original company is de-listed from the business registry, your new registration will already be active.

Which documents do you have to resubmit?

You must provide the typical business documents. Your new business needs to be fully mapped out by PAY., irrespective of whether this may already be known to us in a different legal form. Use your personal PAY. account (email address and password), this way you do not have to resubmit your personal documents such as your ID.

Can I view my old transactions?

A new company, created with your original email address, gives you the option to switch between them. However, please note: If you change authorization data, such as TOKENS and SERVICEIDs in an additional system, you may not be able to automatically refund when you replace this data with that of your new connection.

7.12. Data Processing Agreement

Download and upload the data processing agreement

We are the processor of your data. To ensure that you comply with the rules for processing personal data (GDPR), we have a data processing agreement drawn up that you can offer to us after signing.

Download the data processing agreement by logging into the PAY. Admin Panel. Click on the Merchant menu, then click on Company Information. You can download the data processing agreement by clicking on ''download the data processing agreement draft''.

When you have uploaded the document, you will see a round orange symbol ("being checked"). When the check is complete you will see a green tick ("approved").

7.13. Fair use policy

PAY. uses a fair use policy. That means that our rates are based on normal use. Normal use is defined as 'average use', which is regarded as ‘fair use’.

The motivation behind the fair use policy is simple. Almost all our clients are in the category 'Fair', or occasionally in 'Raised'. If you are in 'Exceeded' or 'Excessive' something is wrong. Often this is due to bad technology, incorrect implementation, incorrect communication with your customers, or deliberate abuse. There are several aspects that are monitored by us. To make our process transparent to you, we have created a combination of guidelines for payment options and the limits we use.

Indicator Fair Raised Exceeded Excessive
Charge backs for credit cards < 5 or < 0,3% 0.3 to 0.5% 0.5 to 0.75% > 0.75%
Fraud reports on credit cards < 10 or < 0.6% 0.6 to 0.75% 0.75 to 1.0% > 1.0%

Disputes in PAY. < 3 or < 0.2% 0.2 to 0.5% 0.5 to 1.0% > 1.0%
Communication failure (Exchange) < 100 or < 1.0% 1.0 to 2.0% 2.0 to 2.5% > 2.5%
Generated API errors < 100 or < 1.0% < 1.0 to < 1.5% < 1.5 to < 2.5% > 2.5%
API requests vs TRX ratio < 1000 or < 4x 4x to 5x 5x to 6x > 6x
TRX vs success < 100 or > 60% 60% to 40% 40% to 25% > 25%

A PEP is in any case:

  • A Head of State, a Head of Government, a Minister, a Deputy Minister or a State Secretary
  • A member of the Parliament or a member of a similar legislative body
  • A member of the board of a political party
  • A member of a Supreme Court, Constitutional Court or other high court or tribunal issuing judgments against which, save in exceptional circumstances, no appeal is possible
  • A member of a court of auditors or of a board of directors of a central bank
  • An Ambassador, a Chargé d'Affaires or a Senior Officer of the Armed Forces
  • A member of the management, supervisory or administrative body of a state-owned company
  • A director, deputy director, a member of the board of directors or holder of an equivalent position in an international organization
  • If the UBO is a PEP, stricter client due diligence measures must be taken into account such as appropriate measures to determine the source of assets and resources and consent of senior management to enter into or continue this business relationship or to carry out this transaction.

9. Acceptance

Once you have registered with Pay.nl, you can immediately get started. You do not have to wait weeks for your documents to be approved. You are ready to receive your first payments within 15 minutes. After your registration, you can easily upload the required documents via our website.

Depending on the legal form of your company and on the risk category of your product or service, we may ask you to supply the following documents:

Once all required documents have been received, an internal check will be carried out by our 'Risk & Compliance’ department. The purpose of this check is to verify whether your webshop / sales location complies with the laws and regulations. Once the internal check is completed and your sales location has been approved, we will proceed with payment of the accrued funds.

Contact our team

We understand that providing the documents raise questions. You can contact our acceptance team via +31 (0) 88 - 88 66 47 or per email on boarding@pay.nl.

9.1. Quality registration

PAY. has gathered from various sources that some of our industry peers are somewhat lax when it comes to personal identification procedures or the UBO statement, or in some cases even forego these procedures altogether. This initially means less paperwork for you to manage. Under the applicable Dutch laws (including the Financial Supervision Act, the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act and the sanctions legislation), we are required to perform checks, and to document this in a reproducible format. Our Internal Compliance team regularly verifies that our files comply with all the requirements. We are audited by an external auditor twice a year, for which we are issued an ISAE TYPE 2 report. We may also be audited by the supervisory authority at any time.

Registration: get it right in one go!

In addition to complying with various laws and regulations, PAY. also maintains contracts with a large number of payment option providers. These contracts stipulate that PAY. is responsible for approving you as a client and for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations. We maintain strong relationships with the various payment option providers, and we assure you that, as a PAY. client, you are fully vetted and compliant and do not need to be concerned about any administrative issues. This system is also transparent for consumers: using PAY. means using a secure and reliable payment method.

Rejected documents or files

Whenever you upload a new document, we usually check this manually as part of our efforts to minimise identity theft. If one of the payment option providers or government agencies comes in to audit our files, we seek to avoid a discussion about the quality of any individual files. When a document or file is rejected for whatever reason, this generates a great deal of additional work, both for you and for our team.

What’s in it for you?

PAY. is committed to upholding its mission of facilitating secure and reliable payments by maintaining high standards of professionalism and integrity. This means that PAY. will work with you to act in accordance with the law and within the spirit of the law. You will then be assured that your assets are safe with us and that we contribute to a strong and reliable financial system in which PAY. fulfils its obligations. In addition, we can provide access to all payment options easily and efficiently with just a few mouse clicks, because we already possess all the data required. This means you do not need to provide any additional documents or other items.

9.2. Lead time

PAY. utilises a risk-based approach for the identification of a business and the persons involved in it. If your organisational structure is relatively straightforward or your products or services have a low risk profile, we can generally activate your business within a few hours of receiving the requested documentation. If the information you provided is incorrect, outdated, incomplete or unclear, this will considerably delay the procedure. In addition to having to resubmit the requested information or documentation, we will most likely also ask for more information pertaining to your application. We may also decide that we do not wish to offer our services to you, based on the information you provided.

The average lead time:

When you have submitted all requested information, we can generally activate your account that same day. Keep in mind that submitting all requested documents will take circa fifteen minutes.

  • Within one working day (for simple organisations)
  • Within three working days (for more complex organisational structures)
  • Within fourteen days (for businesses with a raised risk profile)

9.3. Why?

You may be wondering why you need to provide the requested documents. Pay.nl is a financial institution with a licence issued by the Dutch National Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB)). This permit means that we are authorised to offer financial services and to manage third-party funds. DNB monitors Pay.nl and ensures that the company is financially sound and that we meet the conditions for proper and capable management. This provides a guarantee for businesses that their money is safe with Pay.nl.

This permit also means that Pay.nl is subject to strict legislation, including the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) and the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Prevention Act (Wwft). These two laws require Pay.nl to carry out customer assessments, also known as CDD (Customer Due Diligence). Pay.nl must guarantee ethical business practices, and for that reason we need to know the parties we have a business relationship with or for whom we perform business transactions.

Our legal duties as a financial institution

Whether you are pioneering and developing a start-up or work in an SME organisation or for a multinational corporation, we offer our services in all segments! We can help you make your business case a success. On the other hand, PAY. is also a commercial organisation and our time, like yours, is valuable. Regrettably, this means we cannot accept all clients. We will weigh the time we have to invest in order to offer our services against the revenue we stand to earn. By assessing every organisation to determine if a financial businesscase can be made, starting entrepreneurs can use the free pioneer package to gain access to our services without support, while more complex multinationals can receive in-depth support. If your organisation processes too few transactions for the support it requires, we may reject your inquiry when you have the free package. In that case, you can choose to upgrade to one of our paid packages.

PAY. also offers a degree of security to your own customers. We make sure that consumers receiving their orders correctly and in a timely manner and monitor any complaints or disputes to ensure that customers retain their trust in PAY. and in buying online. In certain cases, we will even reimburse up to 50% of a customer’s losses via our guarantee fund if a business deliberately fails to deliver the ordered products or services. In order to offer these guarantees, we will usually request more information about the quality of a business than most other payment providers. Think of e.g purchase invoices or partnership agreements with dropship parties.

If you are unable or unwilling to provide the requested documentation, we will not accept you as a client. In that case, you can withdraw your request at any time.

Cherry picking

Furthermore, it is important for our services that we process a healthy payment mix for your organisation. This means that PAY. cannot only offer you just one or a small selection of payment options. This method allows us to reduce the risks associated with certain payment options. Above all, it lets us compare your payment traffic to that of other businesses in the same category. If your payment traffic is comparable to that of these other organisations, we will not have to be as thorough in our assessment of your services. For smaller organisations, this saves us considerable time and effort.

  • In most cases, we cannot accept you if you only use AfterPay, Klarna, Alipay or WeChat Pay.
  • In most cases, we cannot accept you if you only use credit card payments.
  • In most cases, we cannot accept you if you do not use iDEAL or Bancontact and your target market is the Benelux region.

Compliance & Risk

In some cases, we are simply unable to properly record all documentation pertaining to your organisation. It is also possible that your organisation presents financial risks to such an extent that we cannot adequately mitigate them. If we reject you for compliance & risk reasons, this does not mean that you “failed to comply with laws and regulations,” but that we were not able to adequately determine that you do.

We have no obligation to offer our services to everyone

In some cases, we might not/no longer want to offer our services to a business as a result of objective and/or subjective indicators. For example, we may terminate our partnership with parties whom we believe to be insufficiently technically, organisationally or legally versed to collaborate with us. We believe that we have the right to terminate an agreement without being required to motivate our decision, just like a business may decide to terminate their agreement with PAY. without having to explain their reasons for doing so.

PAY. is a diverse party, we will not discriminate when accepting or rejecting an agreement. In some cases, however, we may put certain natural persons, businesses or business cases on a blacklist, which means we no longer wish to do any business with this party now or in the future. We may notify the party in question in advance or make this decision during the contract period. In all cases, we will honour the agreed-upon termination period.

Objecting to a rejection

If you do not agree with your rejection, you can notify us. Our complaints committee will reassess your application. To exercise this right, send an email to boarding@pay.nl, listing your merchant code and the reason(s) why you believe our rejection of your application was unjust. We will respond within three working days.

Funds will be paid out

If we do not or no longer accept you, your funds will generally be paid out into your account. We may agree upon a temporary deposit or holding period. If we suspect that you committed fraud or misused the PAY. platform, we may decide to refund the payments that were made to your customers via a rollback.

9.5. Raised risked levels

When you submit your application, we will place your business in a risk classification in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We employ several categories; the three most common classifications are listed below.

  • Low
  • Average
  • High

It is not a problem for PAY. to work with businesses that must be placed in a higher risk classification. You should therefore not see this classification as being somehow detrimental to your business case or organisational structure. If, for example, you deal in cryptocurrencies or other digital products (gift cards or call credit), there is a greater risk of money laundering. The same goes for receiving donations as a foundation. Although your intentions are most likely good, we are required to conduct and document extra research into your organisation to make sure that these donations are not used to fund terrorists. When one of your employees is politically active, we must also place your file at an elevated risk level. This is outlined in the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (Prevention) Act, which PAY. falls under.

Consequences of an elevated raised risk classification

  • We will ask you to submit additional documentation.
  • We will conduct more extensive research into the correctness of the information you provided.
  • We will consult other sources to gather more information.
  • We will audit your transactions, payments and file more often.
  • We will assess your file with the help of multiple employees.

Most of the aforementioned consequences will hardly affect you at all. Once you have been accepted, you will barely have to do any additional work at all.

Categorical reasons for elevated classification

Below, you will find an overview of categories that will result in an elevated risk classification. It is possible to be active in one of these categories and still be placed (now or at a later time) in a lower classification.

  • Trading in precious metals and diamonds
  • Dealing in cryptocurrencies
  • Tobacco and e-cigarettes
  • Crowdfunding, peer-to-peer platforms for loans or payments
  • Charitable donations
  • Digital entertainment (adult)
  • Digital products (software, downloads)
  • Call credit, vouchers and gift cards
  • Airsoft
  • Hosting

Other motivations

In addition to these categories, there are several other reasons to place you in an elevated risk classification.

  • Your acting director or UBO is a PEP (politically exposed person)
  • Your organisational structure includes businesses that are registered in countries that have been classified as tax havens
  • You process transactions from (countries around) sanctioned countries

Quality registration

You can contribute to being assigned the lowest possible risk classification by providing the requested information quickly, correctly and completely. If you do not wish to release certain information, you must properly substantiate your reasons. In practice, all our requests for information are legitimate and necessary.

  1. A document describing your entire organization structure, including an organogram and a UBO form of each director who have a share that is bigger than 5%.

  2. The total number of transactions in the past 30 days, specified by payment method and country.

  3. A forecast of the volume processed that will be requested for processing via PAY.

  4. The average order value or transaction size.

  5. The average spending limit of your 1% largest customers.

9.17. Internal check

When the merchant has provided all required documents, an internal check (or dossier check) will be carried out by our 'OnBoarding’ department. During this check, the decision of whether the sales location meets the acceptance conditions of PAY. is made.

Acceptance 72 hours (3 working days)
Required In all cases

Acceptance conditions

    • Rules for the ordering process
      The ordering process must be clear and customers must have the possibility to correct entry errors.

Completion of the internal check

Internal checking can take up to 3 working days, but it is usually completed within a few hours. If your dossier meets the acceptance conditions of PAY. the status will be changed to 'approved' and you will receive confirmation of this in an e-mail. We will also proceed with payment of any accrued funds into your bank account (clearing).

If your dossier is not approved, you will receive an e-mail with the reason for rejection. In some cases additional documents may be requested. You will be informed of this by e-mail.

9.18. Additional documents

Verkoop je een hoog risico product of lever je een hoog risico dienst dan kan het voorkomen dat we meer documenten vragen tijdens jouw acceptatie bij PAY. of na een review van jouw aansluiting.

We informeren je hierover per e-mail. In de e-mail staat dan een verwijzing naar het document en dit artikel. Het document kun je ondertekend weer uploaden in het PAY. Administratiepaneel.

Om het gevraagde document te uploaden ga je in het Admin Panel naar:

  • Het tabblad Merchant » Bedrijf https://my.pay.nl/my_merchant.

  • Bij 'Overige documenten' zie je het veld High Brand Risk compliance Afbeelding: Addendum adult entertainment non face-to-face content toevoegen

9.19. Sanctionhit

It occasionally happens that an enduser has a positive hit on a sanctions list. This hit is not necessarily true. To conclude whether the person who paid is actually the person on the sanctions list, each party involved in the chain of a payment must conduct additional research into his or her true identity.

In the event of a sanction hit, we request to deliver the enduser's proof of identity as standard. Suppose that is not possible, then the date of birth and nationality will also suffice. We are looking for clues to establish that the enduser is not the person on the sanction list.

We understand that this request (to find out the identity) creates an extra burden. It is not easy to establish the identity of anend user, especially if you sell a product or service where some discretion is required. We try to take this into account when documenting sanction hits. So do what's reasonable, we do too. When all information about this research has been obtained we will complete the investigation for you.

By creating a sales location, you can link your payment location to your website, physical shop, or checkout desk. You can generate payment links or QR codes for your payment locations.

After your sales location has been added, you will receive a unique SL code. You can use this code in the configuration of your plug-in, the hosted solution, or with an SKD / API.

10.1. Rulebook

Before you can start accepting payments via PAY. , you must first make sure the products and services you offer comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

  • National legislation: both the country in which you conduct your business and the country where your consumer resides
  • Rules of each activated payment option
  • PAY.’s rules and conditions

Be clear about your business and the products/services you offer

10.3. Open boardings

Status boarding request button
Status boarding overview

Some payment options cannot be offered directly to your customer after activation in our Admin Board. In many cases, this is because the request, also called "boarding" with an external third party, has not been completed yet. This boarding process starts only if your connection is found to be compliant and approved by our risk and compliance team.

We have recently added an information pop-up to the overview of sales locations. From now on you can see what status your; for instance, VISA / Mastercard boarding has. By clicking on Boarding in the Mode column ,then the window will pop-up.

On the popup, in the top table you can see the Service-id of the Sales location where boardings were started / completed.

In the middle table you will find information about the current status of the boarding. Here you will find the payment option in the first column. In the second column the current status of the boarding and in the third column the payment limit of the payment option.

In the lower table you will find the token code (AT code) in the first column. In the second column the description and in the third column the assigned rights for the token.

The lead time of boarding varies per payment option. In the table below you will find the minimum lead time per payment option:

Payment Option Minimum lead time Important Disclaimer
Credit/debitcards 5 working days Boarding is only started if the connection / website is compliant
AMEX (PAY. Route) 24 hours Boarding is only started if the connection / website is compliant

  • A page will open that shows all available payment options for the selected sales location. Select one of these options to continue the transaction.

    It does not matter which payment option you choose; because the sales location is in Test mode, all transactions will be directed to the same payment screen, i.e. our “Sandbox” payment screen Figure: 'Sandbox' payment screen.

  • If you want to simulate a cancelled transaction, click on the “Stop payment” button. To simulate a successful (completed) transaction, enter your Secret in the Sandbox payment screen and click on the “Start payment” button.

    Where can I find my Secret?

10.5. Sales categories

Overview of revenue groups and sales locations

If you want to categorise your revenue to gain more insight or to send your revenue streams to multiple clearing accounts, you can activate the “revenue groups” option in the Business package. After activating this option, your current revenue group, marked “standard,” will appear. We advise you to rename it immediately and give it a more appropriate name. Examples of revenue groups include:

The entrepreneur in the Benelux with five web shops.

He owns three websites in the Netherlands, one in Belgium and one in Luxemburg and divides these into two revenue groups.

  • Revenue group: Dutch web shops
  • Belgian and Luxembourgian web shops

You can now generate overviews for each “revenue group” in your reports.

The entrepreneur with multiple verticals

He has hundreds of web shops; some sell electronic products and some deal in white goods.

  • Revenue group: Electronics
  • Revenue group: White goods

The entrepreneur with separate revenue streams

He wants to separate the online revenue from iDEAL and credit card payments from the debit card revenue from his physical store and the revenue earned from invoice payments via payment links and QR codes.

  • Revenue group: eCommerce / online
  • Revenue group: Debit card / physical store
  • Revenue group: Invoice payments

After separating his revenue streams, he can also choose to have them paid out into specific clearing accounts. You can easily select the right clearing account for each revenue group.

Linking a revenue group to a bank account
New bank account added to a revenue group

Selecting a bank account for a revenue group

If you have added more than one payment account, you can link these to your sales locations via the revenue groups. This means the revenue from a specific sales location will be paid into the payment account of your choosing.

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Sales locations https://admin.pay.nl/programs/programs.

  • Under “revenue group,” you will see a list of available revenue groups and the bank accounts linked to each group.

    The example in Figure 85 shows a single revenue group, named “Standard,” and a linked bank account with account number NL35RABO0117713678.

  • We will now generate a new revenue group and link it to the extra bank account we want to use. To do so, click on the “add” link Figure: Linking a revenue group to a bank account. .

  • The pop-up window that appears Figure: Linking a revenue group to a bank account. shows the following fields: Name, Description and Account number.

  • Complete these fields. Select a unique name that will be easy to recognise later. Select the bank account number of the account you just added.

  • Click on the “Add” button at the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window. You will be directed to the sales location overview. Figure: New bank account added to a revenue group. In our example, we added the extra bank account to a revenue group called “Extra bank account.”

Linking a revenue group to a Sales location

For this final step, we will link the revenue group we just created to a Sales location. Complete the following steps to do so.

Modify sales location
  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Manage » Sales locations https://admin.pay.nl/programs/programs.

  • Select the sales location whose revenue you want to have paid out into the extra bank account. Click on the “Change” link. Figure: Modify sales location.

  • Under “Module,” you will see the field marked Revenue group. Select the revenue group you just added.

  • Click on the “Change” button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes. The transactions made at this Sales location are now linked to the selected revenue group, which means they will be paid out into the extra bank account that the selected revenue group is linked to.

Activating payments and invoicing per revenue group

It is also possible to set up the revenue and invoicing for each revenue group. By default, payments are grouped together to create the fewest possible transfers into your bank account. If you wish to receive batch payments for each revenue group, even though they are linked to the same bank account, you can activate this option. Invoices will also be billed separately. It is possible that one revenue group has a positive balance, while another revenue group has a negative balance.

Activating Payments per Revenue group
  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Invoices (Clearing) https://admin.pay.nl/balance.

  • Check the Payments per Revenue group option. It is located under the Settings header.

  • Click on the “Change” button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes. The transactions of each individual Revenue group will now be paid out and billed separately. If you have only linked a single bank account to your account, the various revenue groups will also be cleared into your bank account as separate transfers.

View balance per Revenue group
View balance per Revenue group
Increase balance per Revenue group
Internal write-offs and additions Revenue group

Add to balance from a different revenue group

It is possible that you have a positive balance in one revenue group and a negative balance in another, e.g. in the event of a chargeback or a reversed payment. You can add to the balance of a specific Revenue group via iDEAL, Bancontact or bank transfer, but you can also choose to increase the balance of one revenue group with that of another.

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Invoices (Clearing) https://admin.pay.nl/balance.

  • By clicking on the information icon behind your balance, you will see your Balance per Revenue group.

If you wish to use the balance of one revenue group to increase that of another group, simply select the amount you want to transfer and the payment method (= the name of the source Revenue group). Next, select the Revenue group to which to transfer the funds. When you do this, the transaction will be listed in your statistics and on your specifications as 1 Internal Addition Revenue group with the source Revenue group as the client reference and 1 Internal write-off Revenue group with the target Revenue group as the client reference.

Setting groups

Certain settings, such as the SOFORT Banking delivery moments or the activation of the iDEAL backup plan, can be set by clicking on the small gear. With more complex settings such as PayPal or Klarna, you can create a group. You can then link these group settings to a Sales location.

10.11. Setting notifications

You can receive e-mail notifications for every sales location you create within your merchant account. You will receive a notification in the following situations:

  • When a customer has successfully paid in your webshop.
  • When a credit card chargeback is received for a transaction.
  • When an 'Unjustified direct debit notice' is received.

Setting notifications

Setting e-mail address for notifications
Setting notifications for a sales location

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant.

  • In the first field under 'Contact details' select Email address. In the next field, enter the email address for receiving notifications. Now enter a description in the field Description and select the checkbox Notifications Figure: Setting e-mail address for notifications.

  • Click on the 'Save' button at the bottom of the page to process the change.


So far, we have set which email addresses are to be used for receiving notifications. Next, we need to set for each sales location if we want to receive notifications for that sales location. You can do so using the following steps:

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Sales Locations https://admin.pay.nl/programs/programs/.

  • Under 'Notifications' select the checkbox for the field Merchant email addresses Figure: Setting notifications for a sales location.

    Do you have multiple sales locations? Repeat the above steps for each sales location.

Setting additional notifications for a sales location

Using the above procedure you have set a general e-mail address that you can use for all sales locations. It is also possible to add an email address and then link that address to one unique sales location.

10.12. VERIFY configuration

Verify configuration

As a result of the new regulations regarding Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), we have decided to remove all 3D Secure settings from the Sales locations. It is therefore no longer possible to manage 3D Secure (and underlying) settings yourself.

PAY. will ensure that any changes required to comply with SCA are reflected in the check-out process so that all payments will be processed in a streamlined manner. You can, however, indicate in the Verify configuration how you want PAY. to deal with transactions that have ended up in VERIFY:

  • Strength: We recommend that you start with the VERIFY strength Normal. If you have a few frauds and relatively many 'suspicious transactions' that are genuine payments, you can lower the strength to Light . With high risk products or high order values, start with Strength.

    • None (Default): There is no fraud check.

    • Incidents: Transactions are marked as potentially fraudulent if the cardholder (or ANTITRUST value) has previously been involved in a fraudulent transaction or chargebacks.

    • Light: A 'light' check is carried out. You can use this setting if your fraud rate is low or if you have a low risk of fraudulent payments.

    • Normal: If you sell products with a maximum order value of up to € 250,- we recommend using this setting.

    • Strict: If you sell products with a higher order value or a high risk product, we recommend using this setting.

  • Show Verify screen: If a payment is placed in VERIFY, PAY. will show an information screen to the payer.

  • Service Level: Determine who can approve or reject a transaction with the status VERIFY. You could possibly combine your own employees with the PAY. risk team.

  • Verify rule sets: Select a custom rule set here. If in doubt, do not choose a rule set to use as a default setting. In this case, please contact PAY. Support.

10.13. Enable Exchange notifications

10.14. Setting Google Analytics Sync

Setting Google Analytics sync

A difficult aspect for many webshops is conversion tracking. Google Analytics offers webshop owners many insights into achieved targets and conversions. But often the statistics are inaccurate and do not match the actual sales.

This is particularly true when you use a Payment Service Provider with many different payment methods, like PAY., which can sometimes make exact conversion measurements difficult. Each payment method or iDEAL bank has its own method of handling transactions. As a result of this, many visitors may not be sent to the thank-you page, which creates a "gap" in Analytics between the measured conversions and the actual conversions.

These gaps are resolved by the unique PAY. feature 'Google Analytics Sync'. For each sales location you can enter your Google Analytics tracking ID in the PAY. admin panel. This ensures that Analytics is no longer dependent on a conversion pixel or a visit to the thank-you page. With every successful payment transaction, data are sent to your Analytics account. All privacy-sensitive information is of course filtered out of this data, and some information, such as transaction ID, order number, product data, and payment method, is returned as feedback.

Activating Google Analytics Sync

By default, Google Analytics sync is not activated. You can activate this option via the link 'Change package options' on the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant. . Make sure the option 'Google Analytics Sync' Figure: Activate Google Analytics sync is checked in the pop-up.

Need help with activating?

More information on activating a package option can be found here.

Setting Google Analytics Sync

Use the following sets to enable 'Google Analytics Sync'

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Sales Locations https://admin.pay.nl/programs/programs/.

  • Click on the 'Change' link for the sales location for which you want to set 'Google Analytics Sync'.

  • Under 'Notifications' enter your Google Analytics tracking ID in the field Google Tracking Code.

  • Click on the 'Change' button at the bottom of the page to process the change.

E-commerce view

In order to track conversions you need to enable the e-commerce view in Google Analytics. To do so, log on to your Google Analytics account and click on 'Administrator'. Under 'View' click on 'E-commerce settings' and select 'E- commerce'.

Preventing duplicate conversions

Do you currently use e-commerce tracking in your webshop? In that case you need to remove this conversion code to prevent the results from being included twice.

Although the availability of iDEAL is generally quite good, bank interruptions and interruptions of the iDEAL service cannot always be prevented. To ensure that you don't miss any sales when such interruptions occur, PAY. has developed an innovative feature: the iDEAL Backup Plan.

If a bank has a success rate below 25%, we assume that the bank is not or insufficiently available. This is when the iDEAL Backup Plan is activated. PAY. will automatically replace the bank's payment page by an information page that offers the consumer the following three options.

  • Pay Later by invoice (via Billink)
    Before the information panel is shown, the system will check if your customer has passed the acceptance check and if the purchased products can be paid for via Billink. Only then the option ''Pay by invoice'' will be shown.

  • Keep the orders & e-mail the payment link (PayItLater)
    This e-mail is sent automatically as soon as the customer's bank is available. The customer can then complete the payment with just one click.

  • Select other payment option
    Your customer returns to the webshop and selects a different available payment option.

Activating the iDEAL Backup Plan

By default, the iDEAL Backup Plan is not activated. You can activate this option via the link ''Change package options'' on the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant. Make sure the option ''iDEAL Backup Plan'' Figure: Activating the iDEAL Backup Plan is checked in the pop-up.

10.17. URL2INFO

Setting up a URL2INFO URL

The URL2INFO option lets you easily display information from your back office in PAY’s systems. This means you can compare the data on a transaction to those from your own systems. If you have activated this option, you can enter a separate URL for each of your sales locations. These URLs can then be set up dynamically with a number of transaction variables.

This information will be shown when you view a transaction in the PAY. App or in the transaction details pop-up window in the Admin Panel.

There are a number of variables you can use to dynamically set up the URL:

  • #TRANSACTIONID# - The unique transaction code that is generated when you initiate a transaction.
  • #ORDERID# - The unique orderId that PAY. generates at the start of a transaction.
  • #CUSTOMERREFERENCE# - The unique customer reference or customer number that your platform can assign to the transaction start API.
  • #CUSTOMERKEY# - The hashed unique customer reference of the payment method used by the customer, e.g. an IBAN number, telephone number or card number.

It is possible to set up a URL with GETvariables or a folder structure:

For example, https://demo.pay.nl/url2info/?orderId=#ORDERID#&klantnr=#CUSTOMERREFERENCE# will result in the following URL: https://demo.pay.nl/url2info/? orderId=1034353156X15c11&klantnr=081421

You can also set up the URL as follows: https://www.uwfacturatieplatform.com/#CUSTOMERREFERENCE#/#TRANSACTIONID# which results in: https://www.uwfacturatieplatform.com/081421/EX-1234-5678-9012

10.18. Refund notifications

Activating the refund confirmation email for end users
Refund email

  • Never send an email
  • Only send an email for multipayments or if gift cards were used
  • Always send an email

Vanaf 1 juli 2023 migreert Google Analytics naar Google Analytics 4. De standaard "property" om data naar Google te versturen stopt na 1 juli 2023 met werken.

De GA-4 property moet vanaf die datum actief zijn in de Verkooplocatie van het Pay. Admin portaal. Om deze transitie voor te zijn hebben we de nieuwe "GA-4 properties" alvast toegevoegd.

Wil je deze "property" updaten naar GA-4, klik dan op Instellingen, vervolgens op Verkooplocatie en klik achter de verkooplocatie op het Tool icoon (wijzigen). Scroll in het menu naar het kopje Notificaties. Als je op dit moment nog geen gebruik maakt van Google Analytics Sync dan staat deze functie op de instelling Standard property (UA- XXXXX-Y) .


Google Analytics 4

Om gebruik te maken van GA-4 klik je op de dropdown en kies je de GA4 property (G-XXXXXXXXXX) uit de lijst. Je ziet nu 2 invoer velden:

  • Metings-ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX).
    Hieronder leggen we uit waar je dit ID kunt vinden in de Google Analytics portal:
    1. Login bij Google Analytics
    2. Maak een nieuwe- of kies een bestaande Property
    3. Klik op Gegevensstreams
    4. Kies Web en vul de Stream-url van jouw webshop in
    5. Geef de Gegevensstream een naam
    6. Klik op Stream maken
    7. Het Webstreamgegevens wijzigen scherm wordt automatisch geopend. Het Metings-ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX) staat rechts (bovenin) in het Streamdetails menu.
    8. Kopieer deze uit Google Analytics en plak deze in hetzelfde veld in het My.pay.nl Admin

  • API secret (HiWE2E8-RNSG-MT0lYjg4Q).
    Hieronder leggen we uit waar dit dit id kunt vinden in de Google Analytics portal:
    1. Login bij Google Analytics
    2. Kies de Property die je zojuist hebt aangemaakt
    3. Klik op Gegevensstreams
    4. Klik op jouw Stream
    5. Klik onderin het Gebeurtenissen menu op API-geheimen voor Measurement Protocol

    7. Kopieer nu de Geheime waarde/ API-Secret en plak deze in hetzelfde veld in het My.pay.nl Admin
    8. Klik op Wijzigen om jouw GA-4 Properties op te slaan

Werkt de koppeling?

Om te controleren of er data is ga je in Google Analytics naar de Rapportages. Heb je na 48 uur geen transactiedata ontvangen controleer dan of het Metings-ID en API-secret correct zijn gevuld en herstel eventuele fouten. Neem als het probleem blijft bestaan contact op met de Pay. Support Desk.

10.20. Deprecated payment options

Deprecated payment method

Deprecated Payment Methods

Payment methods may be deprecated from time to time. This can be the result of a decision by Pay. or by the payment method provider. When a payment method is deprecated, its status changes to "Deprecated" within the platform. This has the following implications.

What does "Deprecated" mean?

  • Transactions remain possible:
    Previously activated payment methods remain available for processing transactions during the deprecation period. Customers who have already integrated the method in their checkout can continue to use it.
  • No longer available for activation:
    New activations of the payment method are no longer possible. This means the payment method cannot be activated via the Dashboard or the API.
  • No longer visible in the overview:
    The deprecated payment method is no longer shown in the list of available payment methods within the Dashboard or other management screens.

What should you do as a merchant?

If you are currently using a payment method that has the status "Deprecated", we recommend preparing your integration for an alternative method. In most cases, we will communicate a specific date after which the payment method will no longer be available. Until then, existing transactions will still be processed, but we strongly advise migrating to a supported method as soon as possible. For questions or support with the migration, please contact our support team.

14.3. Original amount

Conversie bij transacties in een andere valuta

PAY. is een Nederlandse PSP. en betaalt uit in Euro. Wel kun je met Pay. consumenten laten betalen in de lokale valuta. Ontvangen betalingen worden op basis van de actuele dagkoers omgerekend naar EUR.

Vanuit je webshop geef je een valutacode mee aan onze API. De betaling wordt vervolgens in het betaalscherm weergegeven in dezelfde munteenheid als jij in je webshop aanbiedt, dus bied jij je product aan in USD dan wordt de betaling weergegeven in USD. Het eventuele koersverschil tussen EUR en USD is voor de merchant. Start je de betaling in EUR, en betaalt de klant in USD, dan is het koersverschil voor de consument.

Refund van transactie in andere valuta

Er zijn 2 mogelijkheden:

  1. Refund in originele valuta: Er vindt voordat wij de refund naar de betaaloptie sturen een conversie plaats op basis van de dagkoers. Is het bedrag in EUR gelijk dan wordt de refund verstuurd. Is het refundbedrag in EUR na conversie hoger, dan krijg je een foutmelding. Hiervan is alleen sprake bij de betaaloptie Creditcard.

    Meer informatie over de maximale restitutiebedragen per betaaloptie lees je hier. Bezit de consument een betaalrekening in een andere valuta, dan rekent de bank van de consument de betaling om naar de originele valuta

  2. Refund in EUR: Wij sturen het bedrag in EUR naar de betaaloptie. Bezit de consument een betaalrekening in een andere valuta, dan rekent de bank van de consument de betaling om naar de originele valuta

14.4. Involved moneyflow

Transaction not received from the payment option
Received and completed transaction from the payment option

When you receive a transaction, we will place the turnover directly into your book balance. However, we do not receive these funds directly from our payment options. Because we cannot continue to pay funds before they are received, we pay them according to the payment terms. The payout differs per payment option. An overview per payment option can be found in the payout speed table.

From the Business package it is possible to see (at transaction level) whether funds have been received from the (postpay) payment option(s). If funds have not been received, PAY. usually does pay out. In the Transaction information pop-up in the table Money flow involved this will be shown as follows:

1. Transaction not reconciled yet

As indicated above, PAY. only pays out if the funds have been received and checked. We call this reconciliation. In the image on the right we see a partial transaction. The VVV Gift Card transaction has not yet been received from the payment option and has therefore not been released. Based on the payout period, we communicate the date that the transaction has been released. Clearing takes place according to the clearing frequency.

You can also see an iDEAL payment. We received the money from this payment option on 12-09-2025. We therefore release the transaction on 13-09-2025. The payment will be made according to the clearing frequency.

2. Transaction has been received / released / paid

In the picture on the right, we see another partial transaction. The VVV Gift Card transaction has been received, released and paid. The same applies to the iDEAL payment. By hovering your mouse over the Question mark an ALT-tag appears containing the clearing attribute in which the transaction has been paid. You can find the clearing feature in the clearing history.

14.5. Refunds

This allows a customer to pay part of the amount with a gift card (see here for a complete overview of the different gift cards) and the remaining amount with a different gift card or payment option. The process for a multipayments may differ depending on how the remaining payment is made. Here we explain a few important points:

  • The customer starts his payment and fills in the card details of the gift card. We check the data and carry out an authorization on the gift card. Only when the remaining payment has been successful we will set the gift card payment to PAID and remove the balance from the card.

  • For a multipayments with a gift card and the remaining amount via a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option, the process is slightly different. We immediately initiate a capture on the gift card. If 'Direct Capture' applies to the BNPL option, we will also perform a direct capture on the remaining payment. If there is 'Delayed Capture', a capture or void must still take place on the BNPL transaction.

  • For a multipayments, we will cancel the transaction if no payment has been made within 30 minutes.

  • For a multipayments with a BNPL option, we will automatically refund the funds to the gift card when the BNPL option is voided (cancelled).

14.8. Capture or void

Reserved transactions
Capturing or voiding transactions
Capturing or voiding a transaction from the transaction pop-up

For certain postpay payment methods and credit card transactions, it is possible to make a reservation that can be done at a later time. This can be either done while conversting the reservation into a payment (capture) or a canceled transaction (void, also known as released).

There are two possibilities to convert a reserved transaction into a capture or a void

  • 1. Via the overview of reserved transactions
  • 2. Via de transactiondetail pop-up

1. Via the overview of reserved transactions

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Transactions » Reservations https://admin.pay.nl/transaction/reservations .

  • Under ''Open reservations'' you can see an overview of all reserved transactions Figure: Reserved transactions. In the options column you can convert the transaction into a payment by clicking on ''capture''. If you want to cancel the transaction, click on release (void).

2. Via the transaction details pop-up

  • You can open the transaction details pop-up via the Dashboard or the Transaction overview.

  • If the payment concerns a reservation, you will see the option to capture or release the transaction at the top of the pop-up (void) Figure: Capturing or voiding a transaction from the transaction pop-up.


A reservation can only be open for a certain amount of time. If you do not complete the transaction within the maximum reservation period, it will turn into a capture. The transaction is automatically released by default. However, it is also possible to make use of an autocapture after X days. Your accountmanager can help you set this up.

14.9. Transaction statuses

99% of all transactions have the status PENDINGwhen the transaction is initiated, which changes to PAID after successful payment or CANCEL if the payment failed. However, there are also statuses that are used within the PAY. platform. The following table contains a complete overview.

15. Tokenization

With the option ‘Tokenization' the payer's card data is automatically stored encrypted on our systems. You will then receive a token that you can use for a next payment, so you do not need to request your customer's card data again. Four types of payment can be initiated with the token.

  • Merchant inititated transaction - You decide, after receipt of a mandate, what amount is debited and when.
  • MOTO transaction - You are in contact with the cardholder and he/she gives you permission to debit the amount.
  • Recurring transaction - A standing payment order for a membership or donation.
  • Instalment transaction - Order payment in instalments.

15.1. Activate

Contact your Account Manager if you wish to activate tokenization for your account or sales location. The technical documentation can be found here.

15.2. Saved tokens

You can also perform credit card transactions (Merchant Initiated Transactions (MIT)) manually. To do this, go to the tab Collect Desk. in the Admin Panel. If you click on 'Credit Card Payment' in the left menu, an overview is shown where you can fill in the correct data Figure: Credit card payment via Collect Desk. The following fields are shown:

  • Amount - Enter the amount and currency.

  • Sales location - Select the sales locations to which the payment must be linked.

  • Payment reference - Enter the payment reference of the transaction.

  • Card holder - The name of the cardholder as stated on the credit card.

  • Credit card number - The 16-digit number and the expiry date of the credit card.

16. Exchange-calls

Pay. sends an Exchange notification when a transaction status changes. If the call is successful, your webshop or own implementation updates the status to match Pay.’s. This is important for monitoring logistics processes or sending customer communication.

16.1. What is an exchange call?

The call from Pay. to your webshop or payment platform is actually a script (URL) that we call on your server. When we receive the correct answer from this script, the new order status has been correctly processed by your system. Pay defines the script that is called the ‘communication URL’ or ‘Exchange URL’. Other references could be ‘IPN’ or ‘webhook’.

16.2. Type of exchange calls

Your webshop will usually deal with one of the following three Exchange calls:

1. Starting a transaction

After a customer has chosen the desired payment method, a transaction starts. This is (often) the first time an Exchange call takes place between Pay. and your (webshop) implementation. In this case, the order will have the status PENDING.

2. Paid transaction

If the transaction has been successfully completed by your customer, Pay. sends an Exchange call with the status ‘paid’. This means the order is processed in your system and, for example, an invoice and confirmation e-mail are sent to the customer.

3. Canceled or expired transaction

If the payment is canceled by the customer, you will immediately receive an Exchange call with the status ‘cancel’. However, if the payment screen is clicked away, this cannot be done by Pay. being registered. In this case too, you will receive the status Paid from us if the payment has expired. For many of our payment options, this is 4 hours after the transaction has started.

Zijn dit alle exchange calls?

the above Exchange calls are executed in 90% of the cases. Get an overview of all possible Exchange calls here.


16.3. Exchange url

Add Exchange URL

To connect to your server, PAY. of course needs to know the URL to be called. You can easily add this Exchange URL via PAY. Admin

In the overview you can select the sales location for which you want to set the Exchange URL. To do this, click on Change next to the Sales location. For the field Set Exchange you can select one of the following two options:

1. Yes, via the API or plugin included

Select this value if you use a Plugin or Hosted solution developed by PAY., for example Magento, WooCommerce or Shoptrader. The plugin will automatically set the correct Exchange URL. You must select 'Yes, via the API or plugin included' if you use our APIs / SDKs, and you include Exchange URL when starting a transaction.

2. Yes, use a custom communication URL

If the Exchange URL is not set by a plugin, hosted solution or API, you must enter the URL yourself. To do this, select the option Yes, use a custom communication URL. Then enter the URL for your exchange script in the field Exchange/Communication URL and select a call method GET or POST. The operation of the Call is explained in 14.5. Retry scheme.

Please note: If your software transfers an exchange via the API and you also set one via the Sales location, both will be called.

16.4. Retry scheme

When PAY. calls your communication URL after a status update, our system will wait no more than five seconds for a response. However, it is possible that your server is not available just then or that a number of taxing processes are running that keep the server from responding in time. IIn that case, we will termiafterte the exchange call and view the request as failed. This may mean that your server has not processed the status update (correctly) and that the order status listed in your own back office does not match the one in PAY.’s Admin Panel.

To resolve this issue, you can use a so-called “retry scheme.” This ensures that the exchange call is repeated (a number of times) at a later time until we have received a correct response. When setting up a retry scheme, you can select the maximum number of times to repeat the call. If your script has not sent the correct response yet once this number has been reached, we will notify you via email. PAY. advises all merchants to use a retry scheme. Here is how to set it up:

  • Select the Sales Locations tab in the Admin Panel and click on “edit” next to the sales location for which you want to set up a retry scheme.
  • Specify how many times you want the call to be repeated with the “Repeat call” field. For most merchants, “six times over a two-hour period” is the recommended setting. Remember to save your changes.

Intervals

The table below shows the time between the various repeat calls.

  10 times
within 24 hours (ascending)
11 times
within 24 hours (balanced)
8 times
every 15 minutes
6 times
within 2 hours with a rising interval
1 times
after 5 seconds
1st retry after: 1 second 10 seconds 15 minutes 30 seconds 5 seconds
2nd retry after: 3 seconds 30 seconds 30 minutes 50 seconds -
3rd retry after: 10 seconds 1 minuut 45 minutes 70 seconds -
4th retry after: 30 seconds 2 minutes 60 minutes 5 minutes -
5th retry after: 60 seconds 1 hours 75 minutes 30 minutes -
6th retry after: 5 minutes 3 hours 90 minutes 60 minutes -
7th retry after: 30 minutes 6 hours 105 minutes - -
8th retry after: 60 minutes 10 hours 120 minutes - -
9th retry after: 12 hours 14 hours - - -
10th retry after: 24 hours 19 hours - - -
11th retry after: - 24 hours - - -

16.5. Failed Exchange Notification

When, after a status change, PAY. calls your communication URL, the system will wait for an answer for a maximum of 5 seconds. It is possible that your server cannot be contacted for a brief moment or that all kinds of heavy processes are running that prevent the system from responding in time.

Email notification

We send your users an email when the exchange fails immediately and you haven't set a retry scheme or when the last attempt within the retry scheme also fails.

Exchange call mislukt (of te traag)

In that case we will stop the exchange call and consider the request as failed. As a result, your server may not have processed the status change (correctly) and the order status in your own back office may not correspond with the status in the Admin Panel of PAY.

Retry scheme

Fortunately, there is the possibility to make use of a 'Retry scheme'. This ensures that the exchange call is repeated a number of times until we have received a correct answer. In the field 'Retry scheme' you can, among other things, enter the maximum number of retries. When this number is reached and your script has not given the required response, we will send you a notification by e-mail. PAY. advises every merchant to use the retry scheme.

Enable Retry scheme

Enable Retry scheme

Click in PAY. Admin on the tab Manage, click Sales locations and then click on the link Change behind the Sales location for which you want to set a Retry scheme. In the field 'Repeat call' select the number of retries; '6 times in 2 hours' is the setting recommended for most merchants. Do not forget to save the changes.

Failed exchange call

Example of a failed exchange call and the follow-up with Retry scheme

In the screenshot, we see that the order was started at 17:55 and that the associated exchange call with pending status was carried out correctly. Just over 2 minutes later, the customer completed the payment, and PAY tried to communicate this using the status new_ppt. But this exchange call fails and the retry scheme is activated.

The screenshot shows that the Retry scheme repeats the failed exchange call 30 seconds later. This time, PAY. receives the required answer and the exchange call is regarded as successful.

16.6. Payment state log

Exchange requests via Payment state log

Payment state log

The ''Payment state log'' is an overview of all exchange requests between PAY. and your server. You can find the overview with the help of the Admin Panel menu: Reports » Payment state log.

With the link in the ''Options'' column you will get all the details of the transaction, including the called URL and the full answer we have received from your server.

Bug fixes

In the ''Payment state log'' you will also find the HTTP code. If the HTTP code does not contain the value 200, then an error has occured. With the help of the online checklist you can figure out how to solve the most common problems.

Trage exchange calls (timeout)

The default timeout time of the exchange is 5000 ms (5 seconds). In very exceptional cases, we can increase this time for you. If your exchange is slow, the user will have to wait after the payment until the exchange responds or until the timeout time has expired. If you choose a timeout of more than 5 seconds, then there is a good chance that your customer will either refresh or close the page completely.

Is the exchange call mostly slow? Please read our blogspost where we share solutions for this problem.

17. VERIFY

PAY’s fraud module is called: ‘VERIFY’. Depending on various factors, we check whether a payment must be verified and by whom. In most cases, an employee checks the payment for signs of fraud. This way, we are able to protect both the consumer and the merchant. The merchant is asked for advice in about 10% of the cases. He/she can then decide whether or not to accept the payment risk.

Video Description
Fraude prevention Fraud prevention instruction video: how does the credit card verification process at PAY. work?

17.1. Verification moment

Verification moment

Verification moment

Not all data is available before we are able to properly check the payment. For instance, in the case of an iDEAL payment, we are only able to check the IBAN number after payment has gone through. When payment is made using a credit card, this check is possible during the payment. Below, we mention the moment VERIFY checks a transaction.

  • Before the actual payment;
  • During payment (before authorization and actual payment;)
  • After payment, but before we notify your system of the payment.

17.2. Service levels

Deviating transactions must be checked at all times. You can choose to do this yourself or you can choose to let PAY. full-service handle this. If you want to change this SLA, please contact risk@pay.nl.

Fashion Explanation
SELF You want to independently assess the VERIFY within 72 hours of the payment.
FULL_SERVICE A risk employee of PAY. makes the decision.
SHARED_CHECK (default) A PAY. employee will try to make a decision, but if in doubt, the transaction can be suggested to your employees.
PRE-ACCEPT A PAY. employee checks whether the payment can be accepted. In case of doubt or rejection you will be notified, PAY. will not actively decline.

17.3. Variables involved in VERIFY

VERIFY module

To ensure proper fraud protection our system monitors a set of variables. By combining these datasets, like the payment itself, de related transactions and the lifecycle of certain factors, our system kan assess the certainty of fraud and do an impact analysis.

  • The Amount
  • The Time
  • The IP address and hostname of the enduser
  • Browser and device data
  • The time between payment and delivery
  • The e-mail address of the enduser
  • The customer reference set by the merchant (customerRefference)
  • The customer trust factor, set by the merchant (customerTrust)
  • The risk category of the purchase
  • The used payment options and the authentication quality
  • The purpose of the payment (productType)

17.4. Risk Rules

Merchants who use the VERIFY module can change certain settings independently. However, based on the current market trends, PAY. will apply greater weight to its own risk rules in the case of known frauds and its legal obligations over and above the merchant's settings. It is therefore possible that we may verify a transaction without you actively using the VERIFY module.

17.5. Training the VERIFY module

In the beginning, you may receive some false positives; we know your specific target group, but do not yet know your own fraud measures. After approximately 10,000 payments, we will be able to properly identify your target group, so that deviating transactions occur less frequently and, if they do occur, they will actually be worth checking. In most cases, you will not notice this, because we will assess most transactions ourselves.

17.6. ANTI / TRUST

Add ANTI/TRUST rule

PAY. checks every credit card transaction for a possible fraud, we call this system the VERIFY. In addition to our standard checks and adding a customerTrust score to the Transaction::start, it is possible to influence the VERIFY itself through the ANTI TRUST.

Adding ANTI/TRUST rule
Adding ANTI/TRUST rule

In the ANTRITRUST you can add fields. Each field has its own value. You give each unique value a score. If the value of a field matches during the fraud check of a transaction, the VERIFY applies the entered score. For example, if the field Delivery location key has a negative score of -25, for example because this address is used in fraudulent transactions before, every new transaction will be put to VERIFY for future credit card transactions. If the same field has a positive score of 25, for example because the delivery address is trusted, the transaction will be processed without a VERIFY status being assigned.

Available variables are:

Field Match values Score
Email address Full email address -25 to 25
CustomerKEY (encrypted value) Unique hash created by the Transaction::start API. -25 to 25
Delivery location KEY Format: countryCode+ zipCode+streetNumber+streetNumberExtension

For example: NL-7547TK-10
-25 to 25
IP address IPv4 format -25 to 25
customerReference Reference of the end user that was sent by you during the Transaction::start. -25 to 25
CustomerID Customer reference, for example the credit card or IBAN bank account number -25 to 25

Remove ANTI/TRUST rule

If you want to change a new or already added value, click on the Select button behind the added line. If you want to delete a value, mark the record. Then click on the dropdown menu and choose Delete. Click OK to actually delete the value. Note deleted values ​​cannot be recovered.

17.7. Merchant Trust

It is possible to include your own reliability factor with a payment in order to prevent possible false positives. You can do this by adjusting the customerTrust when starting a payment.

  • -10 = Always in de VERIFY
  • -9 to -1 VERIFY scoring affected with these numbers
  • 0 or empty = Geen eigen toepassing
  • 1 to 9 VERIFY scoring affected with these numbers
  • +10 = Never in de VERIFY

17.8. Accepting or refusing

Via the Admin Panel

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tabTransactions » Verify https://admin.pay.nl/transaction/verify.

  • Here you will see a summary of suspicious transactions. To approve the transaction, click on the green check mark, to decline the transaction, click on the red cross.

  • Once you have clicked on either of the options, a pop-up window will appear in which you must confirm your choice by clicking Approve/Decline,

Via the PAY.APP

Transactions can also be executed, approved or declined via the PAY. mobile APP. For more information, refer to APP transactions.

Via the API

Using the API, status 85 transactions can be approved or declined after verification. More information can be found here.

17.9. Exchange communication

Exchange call with rejected VERIFY
Exchange with acceptated VERIFY

If you have set up at your sales location at the exchange that you want to receive all status changes, we will call your exchange again after rejecting the VERIFY. With approval, the exchange is of course always called. In certain cases, the payment must be refunded with a rejected VERIFY, because the VERIFY only received signals after the payment that the payment was different.

Pre check

  • PENDING (Payment started)
  • VERIFY (Payment marked differently)

Post check (rejection)

  • REFUND: ADD (Create a refund order)
  • CANCEL (Pass payment cancellation.
  • REFUND: SEND (Refund completed)
  • REFUND: RECEIVED (refund received)

17.10. Verify screen

VERIFY screen

To inform your consumer that the payment has been put ''on hold'' by our VERIFY module, you can use an intermediate screen as illustrated on Figure: VERIFY screen. This page explains that the payment is being checked and that the consumer does not need to take any other action. Your public contact details are also shown. You can read how to adjust the contact details here.


18. Disputes

PAY. does not always know what your customer bought online. In privacy legislation this is regarded as a matter between the customer (the payer) and you (the seller of the product or provider of the service). If your customer has a complaint about your service, a question about their payment or the delivery of goods, your company is the first point of contact. Because the company name PAY. is displayed in addition to your trade name, we regularly receive consumer questions.

The payer (your customer) can look up their payment via the form "Paid via Stichting PAY.nl". The page on which the result is displayed also contains your contact information, in addition to the payment information. That is why it is important that your contact information is correct. In this article we explain how to manage your contact data. We will also outline the disputes process.

Video Description
Looking up a payment Looking up a payment. Contacting the seller and explanation of the disputes process.

18.1. Request for contact information

As you can see in the video, a consumer can look up the contact details of your company via the form "Paid via Stichting PAY.nl". This is only possible if you make your contact information publicly available. If you do not do this, you run the risk of a dispute.

Adding contact details to PAY. Admin

Your contact details in Admin

To manage contact details, click on the Merchant button and then on the tab Company information. Then scroll down to the heading "Contact details".

Here, you can enter your contact information. This should be your business details. Enter your private details in your private account. If you make your details publicly available, we can share these details with third parties, for example via the Contact overview, when end-users have questions.

To make your contact information available, check the Public checkbox and save the change. If you want to make the website address, the contact telephone number, and the e-mail address of your customer service publicly available, you need to add 3 lines in the menu. You can add a new line by clicking on the + icon.

18.2. What is a dispute?

Customer view of a dispute

Your customer can look up your contact details via the form "Paid via Stichting PAY.nl" until 35 days after the purchase. We will provide the information you are legally obliged to include on your website + the public contact details provided by you. If the consumer is not able to contact you via this information, they can initiate a dispute. The customer can also call PAY. via the consumer line (0900-payinfo).

If you do not respond to the customer or if you do not resolve the problem, PAY. offers the option to initiate a dispute via the form "Paid via Stichting PAY.nl". Your customer submits a complaint about your organisation via PAY. For example, if no goods have been delivered even though the customer has paid for them.

As soon as a dispute is started by your customer he/she receives an e-mail about this. The content of this confirmation e-mail mentions you as a merchant of PAY. You have 7 days to respond. If you do not respond to a dispute within 7 days, an employee of PAY. will contact you. We can then also make a decision on the dispute (we determine whether the complaint is justified). If you have many disputes, we will charge costs for this. It may also happen that we decide we want to terminate collaboration with you in the future (read our acceptance vision).

18.3. Manage dispute

Disputes overview

The dispute overview

If your customer initiated a dispute, we will inform you by e-mail. In this automated notification we inform you that a dispute is waiting for you in PAY. Admin. You can find the waiting dispute by logging in and then clicking on the tabs Transactions and Disputes. The disputes page contains 3 overviews:

  • Outstanding disputes: If you have received a notification that there is a dispute, click on the View button in the Options column

  • Disputes pending: If you have responded to a waiting dispute and you are in communication with the customer, the dispute is listed in this overview. You open the dispute by clicking on the View button in the Options column

  • Closed disputes: If you have resolved the dispute, it is closed by you or by the customer. Closed disputes remain available in the overview Closed disputes. You open the dispute by clicking on the View button in the Options column

Managing disputes

Handling a dispute

When you open the dispute you will see a number of overviews containing information. These are:

  • Complaint: This overview contains internal information such as the Complaint Code, End-user information, the Dispute value and the Status

  • Transaction overview: The transaction overview contains the transactions the dispute is about. When you click on the ID, the pop-up Transaction information is opened. It contains all transaction information. Of course you can find the same transaction information in our general transaction overview.

  • Reactions: This overview shows the conversation between you and the customer. If you have responded to the dispute and the customer responds to that message, we update the Reactions overview

  • Responding: As a Payment Service Provider we basically expect you to resolve the dispute by communicating with the customer. You can do so via external channels or via this dispute. If you resolved the problem via an external channel, please respond to the dispute with a message. The customer receives this as evidence, after which he/she can close the dispute.

    • Refund: This is not a mandatory field. If there is no refund, leave this field blank. If the customer expects a refund, you can immediately pay a (partial) refund to the customer. Always enter a reference. This reference is used for the refund and is included, if possible, on account holder’s (the customer’s) statement.

    • Responding: Via this field you can communicate with the customer. Enter your message and click on Add. If you have resolved the dispute to your satisfaction and your customer agrees with you, you or your customer can close the dispute.

18.4. Reputation

Add an employee

Complaints are never desirable. As an entrepreneur, you prefer to stay focused on running your webshop and online business. Unfortunately, dissatisfied customers can be very quick to leave a certain impression. They can do so when leaving a negative review on Facebook, Trustpilot or via complaint.nl. And with a negative review they can seriously damage your online reputation.

It is also possible that the negative review does not apply to a complaint but to uncertainty on the part of the customer. Sometimes a complaint is started after three days while the ordered product has a delivery date of 5 working days. In such cases it is important that your webshop is accessible. It is also important that information is communicated in a clear and transparent manner.

At PAY. having a good reputation is essential. We like to work with merchants who have a good reputation (few complaints) so that your potential customer will order / pay quicker due to increased confidence on their part. That is also why we want to ‘unburden’ you in this area too.

Our dispute system allows your customers to contact you in a safe and user-friendly way. This is possible when your customer complains about a product not being delivered. A negative online review can be prevented by using the dispute system.

18.5. Set notifications

This is where you can find the configuration of the notifications
Invite an employee
Set notifications

To stay up-to-date with incoming complaints in the dispute system, it is possible to enable e-mail notifications. Activate the option: Operational e-mails to the user or via Transactions > Disputes > Click on Configuration and activate the notification types.

18.6. Arbitration

If you leave a dispute open for a longer period of time, PAY. has the possibility to reverse the payment.

This is possible up to 7 days after the last reaction via the Pioneer and Professional package. With each response from one of the two parties, this period is extended by 7 days.

19. Refunds

A restitution is a repayment to the end user of (part of) a transaction. Another term for this is 'refund'. Both terms are used in the PAY. system.

Via PAY. you can perform 2 types of restitutions:

  • Repayment of a transaction
    Via the Transaction overview you can perform one or more refunds for each paid transaction. For restitutions the maximum refund amountmust be taken into account. When possible, the data filled in by the customer will be used for the restitution. The restitution(s) is/are linked to the relevant transaction, so you can immediately see if a particular transaction was repaid as a full REFUND or a PARTIAL REFUND.

  • External refund
    IIn some cases it may be preferable to create a 'separate restitution'. This is possible via the option 'External restitution' from the Business package. An external restitution is not linked to a particular transaction. An advantage of this is that you can determine the restitution amount yourself. You do need to have the IBAN number and the name of the account holder to be able to carry out the restitution, however.

19.1. Refund statuses

A refund in PAY. can have the following statuses:


Code Status Description
-81 REFUND The full amount is repaid
-82 PARTIAL REFUND Part of the order amount is repaid

The above statuses are assigned as soon as the restitution has been carried out.

19.2. Refund per transaction

In general, multiple refunds per transaction are possible until the maximum refund amount is reached. An exception to this are credit cards, where you can perform only one refund per transaction.


Payment option Number of possible refunds
Gift cards One per transaction; the full transaction amount only
Credit cards Multiple refunds per transaction
Other payment options Multiple refunds per transaction

19.3. Maximum refund amount

In general, you can refund the original order amount + € 30.00 to the end user. Credit cards are an exception to this. With credit cards, the restitution amount cannot exceed the original order amount.


Payment option Maximum refund amount
Billink 100% of the order amount
VISA 100% of the order amount
Mastercard 100% of the order amount
Postepay 100% of the order amount
Carte Bleue 100% of the order amount
Maestro 100% of the order amount
Gift cards Gift cards Only 100% of the order amount paid with the gift card
Other payment options 100% of the order amount + € 30.00

19.4. Refund of a transaction

Via the 'Transaction overview' you can refund any transaction with the status PAID. If the customer data are known in the system, this information is filled in by the system and you can immediately create a restitution.

refund type and available customer data

Unfortunately we do not always have the customer data. For that reason it is necessary with some payment options to request the IBAN number, BIC and account holder name from the customer to be able to perform a refund. This applies, for example, to paysafecard.

For refunds of Maestro and credit card payments the amount is returned to the card. If you want to make a transfer to the IBAN number, you will have to request this data from the end user. A complete overview can be found in the following table:


Payment option Refund type Customer data known/prefilled?

19.5. Multipayment refunds

Transaction info screen at multipayments
Confirmation a multi refund is carried out

Payments for transactions that consist of multiple partial payments are called 'multipayments'. A partial payment that is part of a 'multipayment' always consists of a payment with a gift card. If the balance on the gift card is insufficient to pay for the transaction, the remaining amount can be paid using another payment option.

The question is "How do we perform a restitution in case of a multipayment"?

  1. If the restitution amount exactly matches the amount paid with 1 or more gift cards, the amount is returned to the gift card(s).

  2. If the amount can be fully refunded to one gift card and another part to the original payment option, this will be selected.

  3. If the amount can no longer be returned to the gift card but a payment option with an IBAN number is available, the full amount is transferred to the IBAN number.

  4. Optional If a chargeback is not possible, for example after 14 days in case of full payment using gift cards, or in case of a follow-up payment that cannot be increased, an error is displayed and a refund payment link can be created.

Examples

Example 1
The customer paid EUR 15 in total: EUR 5 via a gift card and EUR 10 via iDEAL. The following rules apply for a refund within 14 days:

Refund Explanation
4.00 € Via IBAN (amount does not match the gift card payment).
5.00 € Full with gift card.
6.00 € EUR 5 via gift card and EUR 1 via IBAN.
15.00 € EUR 5 via gift card and EUR 10 via IBAN.
40.00 € EUR 5 via gift card and EUR 35 via IBAN.
100,00 € ERROR (total amount to be refunded is more than EUR 30 higher than the original amount).

Example 2
The customer paid EUR 15 in total: EUR 5 via a gift card and EUR 10 via iDEAL. The following rules apply for a refund after 14 days:

Refund Explanation
4.00 € Full on IBAN (refund after 14 days).
5.00 € Full on IBAN (refund after 14 days).
40.00 € Full on IBAN (refund after 14 days).
100.00 € ERROR (total amount to be refunded is more than EUR 30 higher than the original amount).

Example 3
The customer paid EUR 15 in total: EUR 5 via a gift card and EUR 10 via PayPal. The following rules apply for a refund within 14 days:

Refund Explanation
4.00 € Via PayPal (amount does not match the gift card payment).
5.00 € Full with gift card.
6.00 € EUR 5 via gift card and EUR 1 via PayPal.
15.00 € EUR 5 via gift card and EUR 10 via PayPal.
20.00 € ERROR (total amount to be refunded is higher than the original amount).

19.6. Batch refunds

If you want to process multiple refunds to (end) customers periodically (for example weekly), you can do so while using the PAY. Refunder. With the help of the Refunder you can upload a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx or .csv) file in the tool.

A total of two columns is required in the Excel file. The amount (in cents) and the transaction reference (preferably the PAY. "Order-ID" or the "order number"). After all, we need to know what specific amount needs to be refunded for which specific transaction.

How to create a batch refund order:

Filling in the API Token
Selecting the needle
Managing and executing refunds
  1. Open the PAY. Refunder.

  2. Enter an APi token with refund rights. An overview of API tokens can be found here: https://admin.pay.nl/company/tokens

  3. Click on Choose file and upload the Excel file from your computer.

  4. At Needle choose the column from the dropdown menu where you can find the PAY. order-ID or your webshop order number.

  5. At Amount choose the column from the dropdown that contains the amount you want to refund.
    Important: the column "Amount" in your Excel file must contain the refund amount in cents.

  6. Click on Search Transactions

  7. The Refunder tool now shows a result. In the table below you will find the meaning per column:

Column name Meaning
ID Order-ID or order number of the transaction
Code PAY. ID transaction
Payment option The payment option that was initially used for the payment (for example iDEAL)
Created The date and time of the created transaction
Original amount The original transaction amount of the created transaction
Already refunded Contains an amount in EUR if a refund has already been processed on the transaction
Left amount Contains the amount that can still be refunded after processing the refund
Refund request The refund amount in EUR according to your Excel file, which can be adjusted if desired
After refund The transaction amount after you have processed your refund

19.7. Create external refund

Via an 'External restitution' a repayment can be made to a customer based on an IBAN number and account holder name. This means you need to have this customer information to make the refund. An external restitution to a gift card, credit card, Afterpay, Billink or PayPal account is not possible.

Creditcard and Billink refunds

Note The overview of completed restitutions currently only lists refunds to IBAN numbers. Credit card restitutions (refund to card) and Billink restitutions (refunds to account) are not (yet) shown in this overview. This will change in the near future.

Credit card and Billink restitutions can be found in the 'Transaction overview'.

19.10. E-mail Consumer confirmation

If you want PAY. to send a confirmation of the (planned) restitution directly to the payer, you can set this via Sales locations -> notifications (link). In this way you can inform the user about your instruction to PAY. to perform a refund. In the e-mail we include the IBAN number (NL**RABO0123***789) the amount is refunded to. If a gift card was used for a payment that will be topped up again, we will also include the card number and the PIN code, to allow the customer to use the card again.

The e-mail is sent in the user's language to the e-mail address known at the time of the transaction.

You have the following options:

  • No email
  • Only for multipayment restitutions or when gift cards were used
  • Always send an e-mail

This option is available from the Professional package.

20. Chargeback

A chargeback can be requested by consumers for various reasons. Most chargebacks can be filed up to 120 days after receipt, however, this period can also be longer

When a consumer 'chargebacks' a credit card payment, the burden of proof is on the merchant. The transaction amount will be deducted from your balance and if you fail to convince the credit card company that the consumer's chargeback is invalid, the chargeback will not be reversed. The consumer will be refunded the amount and the chargeback fee (see 'fees') will be charged to you

As a merchant, you have the option of proving that the consumer's chargeback is invalid. We call this 'dispute' (or 'contest'). Pay. will gladly assist in the dispute; however, it is very important that you provide us with the necessary information.

 

To avoid chargebacks, we recommend ensuring good communication with your customers and good customer support in case of any complaints:

  1. Publish your Terms and Conditions. Important in your Terms and Conditions are your Shipping Policy, Exchange and Refund Policy, Cancellation Policy and company contact details.
  2. Communicate delays and/or stock issues openly and directly with your customers.
  3. Respond promptly to any problems customers (may) have with the goods/services delivered.

Important to know: A chargeback always costs money. Even if you are fully within your rights, you will be charged. In addition, too many chargebacks can have negative consequences for your business and card schemes keep a close eye on these numbers. So, it is very important to avoid chargebacks as much as possible.

20.1. How do chargebacks work

When a consumer is unable/does not recognize the transaction or disagrees with the products/services provided, they can file a complaint with their card issuing authority. This authority then submits a chargeback request on behalf of the consumer. Even if the chargeback has an invalid reason, the chargeback must be handled. Even in cases where a refund has already been issued, we still need to challenge the case to avoid a double debit.

When you receive a chargeback, you have 2 options: challenge the chargeback or accept it. When accepting the chargeback, the consumer receives the funds back on the credit card and there is no possibility to challenge the chargeback at a later stage. If you decide to accept a chargeback, let us know so that the dispute can be dealt with quickly.

If you decide to challenge the chargeback, treat the chargeback as a serious matter and take the time to compile and submit your supporting documents correctly. After information is submitted and sent in the so-called 'representation package', it is no longer possible to pass on changes. The information you have submitted will be reviewed and assessed by external parties in a final outcome.

After all the chargeback cycles have been completed, but there is not enough evidence, for example, to prove the illegality of the chargeback, the dispute can be escalated to arbitration. Arbitration is the final stage of the dispute procedure. When the parties involved - the card issuer, the transaction processing party, the cardholder and merchant - cannot resolve the dispute, a representative of the card schemes is asked to intervene. The costs in an arbitration are significantly higher than in a normal dispute. These include filing and administration fees and costs per uploaded document, which can amount to €500 per transaction. The losing party must pay all costs associated with the dispute. It is therefore very important to pay attention to all chargeback cases and provide complete and full supporting documents to avoid additional costs.

20.2. Dispute Chargeback

If you receive a chargeback, you will always receive an email. It is therefore important that your account always has updated contact details (e-mail, phone number, etc.) and the correct e-mail settings. After signing a chargeback, you have 14 days to challenge the chargeback. We kindly ask you to take action for each chargeback separately. If no action is taken within the required time, the chargebacks may be accepted, and you will miss the opportunity to 'dispute' the chargeback.

If you disagree with the chargeback, you can dispute it. Below is an overview of the types of chargebacks and our advice on when you could and could not dispute a chargeback. Next, you will see the steps to follow to challenge a chargeback.

Fraud transactions

Dispute Accept
You think the transaction is legitimate You know the transaction is fraudulent
3D Secure transactions Non 3DS transactions where you don’t have enough proof to show the claim’s illegitimacy
Apple Pay transactions


Non-Fraud transactions

Dispute Accept
If the merchandise was shipped and delivered to the delivery address provided by the customer If the merchandise has been returned and you have not issued a replacement order or exchanged the product according to your policies.
If the digital item was sent to the email address provided by the customer at checkout. Cases where you don’t have enough proof to show the claim’s illegitimacy
You have evidence the digital item has been redeemed and used
A replacement order has been issued or if a refund was already provided.


20.3. Information requests

Chargeback process VISA
Chargeback process Mastercard

The process starts with an inquiry/retrieval request: The consumer can contact you, Pay.'s Customer Care department or through one of the payment options (issuer, credit card company or intermediary) and ask for more details about the transaction. We therefore recommend always responding to messages from the consumer to avoid possible chargebacks and additional charges.

At this stage, no money will be collected from your balance. However, if you do not respond to the request in time or if sufficient evidence is not provided, a chargeback may be filed as a result. You can find the information requests under "Information requests.

When the information request escalates into a chargeback it's submitted and the dispute proceeds through the following stages:

  1. Once the chargeback is submitted, you will receive a chargeback notification. We therefore emphasize once again to always have up-to-date contact details such as e-mail address and telephone number in your account.
  2. The chargeback associated with the chargeback will appear under "Open CB Cases". You have 14 days to take action and can either accept or dispute the chargeback.
  3. If you believe the consumer should be refunded, we recommend accepting the chargeback on the spot. You do this by clicking on 'Accept'.
  4. If you believe that the consumer is not entitled to a refund, you will have to provide evidence to prove the illegitimacy of the chargeback. Depending on the reason for the chargeback, different evidence will have to be collected.
  5. Prepare and send the conclusive evidence:
    • All documents should be sent in English, according to the requirements of the card schemes. Use images and screenshots as additional evidence.
    • Check whether the cardholder has already contacted you (previously) and send us screenshots showing the consumer's emails and your responses. Translate the texts into English if they are not in English
    • Try to contact the cardholder yourself, for example if there are delays in shipping. Inform the consumer of this as soon as possible.
    • Check the reason for the chargeback and make sure the appropriate convincing evidence is sent.
    • Write a (short) explanation that addresses the reason for the chargeback in which you make your position clear as to why you believe the chargeback is invalid. Write this in English
    • Finally, upload all documents in the Chargeback request page. Use the Dispute button and upload all your evidence.



20.4. Chargeback Reasons

Fraud - Card Absent Transaction

  1. Physical goods/products:
    • Email conversations with the cardholder
    • Track & Trace codes, to show that the goods have been dispatched and delivered to the address provided by the consumer at checkout of the order

  2. Digital products:
    • Email conversations with the cardholder
    • Proof of delivery, to prove that the digital products were sent to the email address provided by the consumer at checkout of the order.
    • If the consumer has an account on your website, provide proof of this.
    • If the consumer has gone through a series of identification and verification checks and passed your KYC policy, provide proof of this.

  1. Physical goods/products:
    • Email conversations with the cardholder
    • Track & Trace codes, to show that the goods have been dispatched and delivered to the address provided by the consumer at checkout of the order.
    • If you send order and shipment confirmation emails, provide evidence showing that the consumer was able to track the order.
    • If the order has been delayed, let us know the reason for this.

  2. Digital products:
    • Email conversations with the cardholder
    • Proof of delivery, to prove that the digital products were sent to the email address provided by the consumer at checkout of the order.
    • If the gift card/digital credits have been used or redeemed and you have proof of this, provide the evidence showing that the digital products have been used or redeemed.

Cardholder Dispute or Credit Not Processed

  1. Physical goods/products:
    • Email conversations with the cardholder
    • Track & Trace codes, to show that the goods have been dispatched and delivered to the address provided by the consumer at checkout of the order.
    • Investigate whether the customer has already tried to return the goods or has already returned them and provide evidence of this.
    • If the goods have been returned, show evidence why the return is not in line with your refund/refund policy

  2. Digital products:

    • Proof of delivery, to show that the digital products were sent to the e-mail address provided by the consumer at checkout of the order.
    • Proof in which you explain/show why the consumer is not entitled to a refund.
    • If the gift card/digital credits have been used or redeemed and you have proof of this, provide the evidence showing that the digital products have been used or redeemed.



20.5. Sent Chargeback disputes

After we receive your evidence, we will review the documents. If we have received the correct evidence, we will dispute the chargeback. If any information has been provided that is not relevant to the chargeback, we will remove it in advance and in case we need additional details/evidence from you we will contact you by email. Chargebacks that require additional extensive review by Pay. or are labor-intensive due to form errors may incur additional charges of €25- per dispute.

20.6. Chargeback result

After the chargeback has been challenged, it can take up to 90 days before there is a final result. If the bank withdraws the chargeback, the case is closed immediately, and the amount is credited back to your balance. If the customer files a pre-arbitration (also called 'second chargeback') and provides additional evidence, we will contact you for further information. If no ruling is reached at the pre-arbitration stage because the card issuer rejects the pre-arbitration, the case will be escalated, and the card schemes will be asked to issue a final ruling.

. If your compelling evidence is not sufficient to prove the illegitimacy of the chargeback, the case is closed in favor of the customer. The chargeback is then lost and you will not get your money back. If a chargeback is reversed (you won), the chargeback is processed by us (Chargeback Reversal). We will notify you and refund the amount to your book balance.

Please do not hesitate to contact our Risk department via risk@pay.nl for questions and for more information on chargebacks.

21. Payment links & QR

Do you sometimes send a payment link to your customers? Or would you like to have the possibility to add an iDEAL link to your invoices? With the dynamic payment link module of PAY. you can create a payment screen within 5 minutes, which your customers can use to make a payment. The dynamic payment link module offers the following options for customising and securing the payment screen.

  • Amount
    You can set a free amount, a minimum amount, a maximum amount, or a fixed amount.

  • Free fields
    Via 3 optional free-text fields you can provide additional information with the payment or ask your customer to enter e.g. their name and e-mail address. In addition, you can use a free-text field to include a value, for example a customer number filled in by you.

  • Payment methods
    It is, of course, up to you to decide which payment options you want to offer to your clients.

  • Own thank-you page
    After a successful payment the customer is returned to the payment screen by default, and the message 'Thank you for your payment' is displayed. However, it is also possible to send the visitor to a custom thank-you page.

  • Country and language
    You can set a default country and language. The payment options are shown grouped by country. The customer can change the default language in the top right-hand corner of the payment screen.


Using the extensive link generator, you can quickly and easily create a dynamic payment link. Unlike the one-time payment link, the validity of this link is unlimited. Depending on your security settings, you can dynamically include amounts and additional fields (such as order numbers). Dynamic payment links are therefore ideally suited for use in e.g. digital invoices.

The PAY. payment screen for dynamic payment links looks like this:

The payment screen is responsive, accepts payments in euros, and is available in the following languages:

  • Dutch
  • English
  • German
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Italian

Demo

Before you can create a dynamic payment link, you need to create a sales location. You can do so while following the steps below:

We have now created a service that we are going to use to create a dynamic payment link. We can assign properties and security features to this dynamic payment link. The procedure for setting and generating a payment link is as follows:

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Sales Locations https://admin.pay.nl/programs/programs/.

  • The ''Sales Locations overview'' now contains the sales location we have created. The column Link via contains the value Dynamic payment links.

  • We are now going to set the properties of the dynamic payment link by clicking on the link ''Create Link URL'' Figure: Select sales location for dynamic payment link.

      Secuirty
      A detailed explanation of the various security settings can be found here.

    • Minimum amount
      This is an optional field. If you enter a value (in cents) in this field, end users cannot pay an amount that is lower than this value.

      Start
      This is an optional field. Would you like to show a ''standard'' amount? Enter that value in cents here.

      Depending on the selected payment options for the service, these are grouped by country. iDEAL for The Netherlands and Bancontact for Belgium, for example. If you want to show the payment methods for e.g. The Netherlands as ''default'', you can select the option here.

    • Language
      Select the ''default'' language for the payment screen.

  • Form fields
    Under ''Form fields'' a text field can be shown on the payment screen where the end users can enter their details such as their e-mail address. You can use/show a maximum of 3 free-text fields on the payment screen.

25. Clearing (Payout)

A clearing is a payment of the accrued funds into the merchant’s bank account. A merchant can only receive a clearing after all documents have been approved and the internal check has been completed successfully.

The rates you pay for our service will be invoiced on a weekly or monthly basis.

25.1. Balance

The balance is the total of the incoming pay-outs and fees.

View booking balance

View balance

Your balance can be found on the page 'Financial overview'. You can check your current balance using the following steps:

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Invoices (Clearing) https://admin.pay.nl/balance.

  • Under 'Status' you will see the field Balance Figure: View balance with your balance in euros.

Topping up your balance

Raising balance

In some cases it may be necessary to top up your balance. For example, if you need to make a repayment but your balance is insufficient and you do not want to wait until the balance is sufficient. You can increase your balance by transferring the required amount via iDEAL, a bank transfer or a Bancontact payment.

You can increase your balance using the following steps:

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Invoices (Clearing) https://admin.pay.nl/balance.

  • Under 'Status' you will see the field Balance Figure: View balance followed by the link ‘Deposit’.

  • Click on the link 'Deposit'. A new page is displayed Figure: Raising Balance

  • In the field Amount enter the amount you want to add in euros.

  • In the field Payment method select the payment method you want to use.

  • Click the 'Add' button at the bottom of the screen to initiate the payment and to top up your balance.

25.2. Book balance (Revenue Groups)

View the book balance per revenue group.
View the book balance per revenue group.
Increase the book balance per revenue group.
Internal deduction and crediting of the book balance per revenue group.

The book balance is the total of the payments per revenue group with the status PAID that have not yet been paid to you and minus the outgoing payments such as refunds, chargebacks and reversals. The balance can only be paid out if the balance of all individual revenue groups is positive.

Internal settlement of package costs

If you receive a payout per revenue group, you must mark one revenue group as Standard. The invoices (containing the periodic package costs) are then settled with the selected revenue group.

What causes a negative balance?

The most common reason for a negative balance is when the package costs are settled with a revenue group that does not generate any revenue: If you use the revenue groups, you must mark one revenue group as Standard. If a revenue group is marked as default, but it generates no revenue, the balance will be negative. To change the Default Revenue Group navigate to https://admin.pay.nl/programs/programs and click on Mark as default behind the revenue group you want to settle the PAY. package costs with.

How do you solve the negative balance in a revenue group?

When you see the message Revenue group with negative balance or if your payout is not forthcoming or you simply want to know the balance of your revenue groups, click on Deposit. In the pop-up you can see the current status of each revenue group. If the balance of one of the revenue groups is negative, this will be shown in red. You can resolve the debit balance as follows:

  1. Depositing of the book balance: Choose the Revenue group you want to top up. Choose one of the payment options below via Payment method. Click on Add to start the transaction.

    1. Payment via iDEAL: The book balance is upgraded immediately.

    2. Payment via Bancontact: The book balance is upgraded immediately.

    3. Payment via Bank Transfer: The book balance is topped up when your payment is received.

  2. To settle the book balance with a positive revenue group: Choose the Revenue group that you want to upgrade. When you're at the Payment method option, select one of the revenue groups with a positive balance. Click on Add to even out the negative balance. The settlement takes place immediately. We pay out according to the next payout time (daily, weekly or the first day of the month).

How is the settlement of the balance between revenue groups processed?

If you have chosen to pay the negative credit of a revenue group from a revenue group with a positive credit, PAY. will add two statistic lines:

  1. An Internal and charged booking (a write-off) for the revenue group that was used to make the payment.

  2. An Internal and additional booking for the revenue group where the negative book balance has been topped up.

25.3. Reconciliation

Once payments via the payment methods Klarna, AfterPay, in3 and Billink have been successfully processed, the funds from the payment options (supplier) are awaited before the clearing / withdrawal is released.

In most cases this is a smooth process that runs continuously. Occasionally, a payment option may pay us sooner or later or a payment option may provide payouts that cannot be easily processed by us. We call this impure clearings. From that moment on, your payout may come later than expected. PAY. staff members need time to check the payment and confirm that everything has been paid.

  • PAY. has processed a payment for you, the payment option indicates the payment status.
  • The payment will be added to your book balance. A payment does not have to be received at this time.
  • PAY. indicates an expected release date. At this time, the money is released and the amount can be transferred to your account via clearing.
  • When funds are released, a clearing round is awaited. You can set this up with the help of the clearing frequency.
  • If the payment is received earlier, then the ''release date will be brought forward''. We only do this if all payments from a payment option have been received on the same day.
  • If a payment is received later, we will contact the payment option to investigate why we did not receive the funds.
  • If the payment option has not paid out a single payment, we can choose to still pay you out in order to keep your cash flow transparent.
  • If the payment option is not paid, we can ''roll back'' the payment. This means that we will deduct the amount already paid out from your book balance.

25.4. Clearing delays

The pay-out speed depends on your relationship with PAY. The speed is increased automatically when you have been known in our system for some time or when you receive a higher volume of payments. PAY. distinguishes the following categories:

  • New merchants

    New merchants are automatically assigned to this category for their first 100 transactions. If there are no cases of fraud or disputes, your connection is automatically changed to 'in control'. If you can demonstrate that you have a good reputation, for example by means of external reviews and/or a webshop quality label, a sales assistant will upgrade you to 'in control'.

  • In control merchants

    In control merchants are merchants without any significant complaints or cases of fraud. Most of the merchants who use PAY. belong to this group. Merchants with a Professional or a Business package have the possibility to be upgraded to 'Trusted' or 'Key exclusive'.

  • Trusted merchants

    Trusted merchants have a long-standing customer relationship with PAY. The merchant has a good reputation and there are hardly any complaints or cases of fraud. Available from the Professional package.

  • Key exclusive merchants

    Key exclusive merchants receive the fastest possible pay-out. Please contact your account manager to discuss the possibilities. Available from the Business package.

The format of a payment reference consists of 2 times 4 numbers or letters separated by a hyphen (for example: SKQF-RNUW, please view the image on the right for an example).

  2. Clearing date: This is the date on which the payment was made. If the message "Clearing not required" is displayed, no clearing takes place because the book balance for the forthcoming clearing round might not be sufficient.

  3. Turnover group: The turnover group column is only shown if there are turnover groups active and when the function clearing per group is active. The name of the turnover group is reflected in the column.

  4. Bank account: In this column you will see the IBAN account number where the specific payment takes / took place.

The services of PAY. are subject to VAT. We will charge VAT if your company is based in the Netherlands. Of course, as an entrepreneur you can reclaim the VAT from the tax authorities. If your company is based in the EU and you have a valid VAT number, we use the scheme for intra-community supply of services regeling. This means that we transfer the VAT and you do not have to pay VAT to PAY. If you do not enter a (valid) VAT number, we cannot use this scheme, and you need to pay VAT to us. You may be able to reclaim the VAT. Companies based outside the EU are not charged any VAT.

27. Sync module

‘Reconciliation’ is a word coined in the accounting world. It has to do with the processing of payments. Reconciliation is nothing more than linking a payment to an outstanding item.

Using this process, you regularly process outstanding invoices, after which they are ‘reconciled’ with your accounting and your accounting is up-to-date once again. By regularly reconciling payments, you continually update your financial administration to ensure you have access to the latest figures. The advantage of up-to-date accounting is that you can make business-critical decisions based on current figures, for instance, by using reports you generate with the accounting software you work with.

27.1. Reconciliation moment

You can export the payments via PAY. to update your accounting program. Before you start the reconciliation, you must first determine the reconciliation moment. There are three times when you can do this.

  • Based on the payment to your IBAN account
  • Based on the paid transactions on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
  • Based on the exchange URL

Per payment to your IBAN account

You receive one or more payment batches from PAY. each day. Before you can reconcile the individual items in your accounting, this payment must be disaggregated; ultimately, you must know which payments are included in this batch. You will receive a detailed transaction file from us with every payment. In MT940, CSV or another format. By placing the received batch payment on a cross item and linking it to the detail file, you can link these 2 payments. This way, you receive all the items associated with the payment receipt. The disadvantage of this is that your accounting only marks the items as fully processed once PAY. has actually transferred the payment to you. Certain payment options are transferred with a delay, which means that an invoice in your accounting that has been paid through AfterPay will be marked as unpaid until the funds have actually been transferred to you.

Paid transactions on a daily, weekly or monthly basis

If a payment is successful, it will be placed in your bank balance. You can compare this with the balance on your bank account. At the time of crediting, you own those funds and can regard the funds as 'received'. At that time, you can therefore set your items (receivables/invoices) to ‘paid’ in your accounting system (reconcile). The advantage here is that you have immediate insight into the invoices paid. Even if you have not yet received the actual payment to your account.

Exchange URL

Updating your accounting system based on the exchange URL is the least used method. If an exchange request goes wrong, you can apply a retry schedule, but the logging of actions is limited to 35 days. PAY. reports every status change to your exchange URL. If a payment is successful, is returned or has a different status change, PAY. will send out a notification. It is possible to specify multiple exchange URLs at your sales location. In addition to changing the status of the order, your accounting system can also be updated immediately.

27.2. Transactions paid manually

If you want to manually export the payments for a specific day or period, you can do so using the statistics, with the display method 'download CSV'.

27.3. Export

You can export the invoices, clearings, and transaction specifications in a CSV, MT940 or PDF format to import them in your favourite accounting application, for example. By default, you can export the data for one pay-out. From the Professional package, it is also possible to generate an export for a particular period.

The export generated consists of a ZIP file with the following 3 folders:

  • Transactions
    This folder contains a CSV, PDF, and MT940 file, which contain all the specifications of the transactions paid out to you in the clearing.

  • Clearings
    This folder contains a PDF file with the transactions.

  • Invoices
    This folder contains a PDF file with the invoices.

View all pay-outs
Generate export
Download export

Exporting a clearing

You can export a clearing using the following steps:

  • In the Admin Panel, go to the tab Merchant » Invoices https://admin.pay.nl/balance.

  • Listed under 'Payment history' is a table containing the last 5 pay-outs. If you want to export an earlier payment, click on the link 'View all’ Figure: View all pay-outs.

  • Select the payment for which you want to receive an export. Then, click on the 'Export' link in the Options column for the pay-out Figure: Generate export.

  • A ZIP file is generated; this may take a few moments. As soon as the export file is ready, you can download it via the Options column Figure: Download export.

Activating export of multiple clearings

Option for Exporting multiple clearings

From the Professional package, it is possible to export multiple clearings at the same time. A single MT940, PDF and CSV file is created containing all the details for a selected period. By default, the option 'Export multiple clearings' is not activated. You can activate this option via the link 'Change package options' on the tab Merchant » Company https://admin.pay.nl/my_merchant. Make sure the option 'Export multiple clearings' Figure: Activating export of multiple clearings is checked in the pop-up.

28. Sync partners

Indien je gebruik maakt van software van één van de onderstaande partners om jouw boekhouding te beheren, kan je transactiegegevens met ze delen zodat jouw boekhouding automatisch wordt bijgewerkt.

Boekhoudpartners

28.1. xCore

Afletteren kan eenvoudig en snel met de Aflettermodule 2.0 van xCore voor Exact Online. De Aflettermodule haalt openstaande posten op uit Exact Online en matcht deze met betalingen die je via PAY. ontvangt.

Automatisch afletteren via de sync module

Een voorbeeld om xCore in te stellen

Maak je gebruik van het Pioneer pakket of hoger dan kan je transactiegegevens direct afletteren bij onze boekhoudpartner xCore.

  • Username: Maak via xCore een account aan.

  • Meer informatie: afletteren-exact-online-pay.

  • Bestandsopmaak: Vink het implementatiepakket aan, D4D 2.0 als Bestandsopmaak.
  • Grootboek: Wanneer de Aflettermodule is geïnstalleerd, wordt deze zichtbaar in het menu van xCore onder 'mijn apps'. In de module worden de uitbetalingsbestanden van PAY. automatisch opgehaald en afgeboekt uit de openstaande postenlijst van Exact Online:
  1. Je ontvangt een betaling. De automatische aflettermodule haalt vervolgens de bijbehorende betalingsspecificatie(s) op bij PAY. Dit zie je terug het overzicht van de Aflettermodule.
  2. De module zoekt naar openstaande posten in Exact Online en matcht deze met jouw ontvangen betalingen. Het matchen gebeurt op basis van kenmerken in het bestand die overeenkomen met de openstaande posten. Vaak is dit een factuur- of ordernummer of een boekstuknummer. Tegelijkertijd kijkt de module of de bedragen overeenkomen. Het is belangrijk dat de unieke referentie die de betaling meekrijgt terug te vinden is in de openstaande post in Exact Online.
  3. In het overzicht zie je regels verschijnen die gematcht zijn en regels die gedeeltelijk of niet zijn gematcht. Bij een 100% match met jouw betaling maakt de aflettermodule automatisch een afletterboeking aan in Exact Online. Dit houdt in dat de openstaande posten worden afgeboekt in Exact Online waardoor deze uit de (sub)administratie verdwijnen.

De Aflettermodule neemt standaard de kosten van PAY. mee op regelniveau in de boeking. Wanneer er btw gerekend wordt over de kosten van PAY, kun je dit instellen in het tabblad ‘Exact Online’ van xCore. Wanneer je de juiste btw-code invoert in de instelling van de aflettermodule, zal de te vorderen btw meegenomen worden in de btw aangifte die je in Exact kunt doen.

Voorbeeld van een journaalpost van een boeking in de aflettermodule

Het resultaat van afgeboekte posten

Wanneer bovenstaande stappen zijn doorlopen, zijn de openstaande posten in Exact Online afgeboekt. In het aangemaakte dagboek wordt een financiële boeking gemaakt.

Het afboeken van de openstaande posten wordt door de aflettermodule gedaan. Het totaalbedrag wordt ook naar een tussenrekening geboekt.

De ontvangsten van PAY. die binnenkomen in het bankboek dien je zelf op de tussenrekening Afletteren (2080) te boeken. Wanneer alle posten gematcht kunnen worden, zal deze tussenrekening een saldo van € 0,- hebben.

18.5.4 Suspicious transactions

When a credit card transaction is generated, a risk analysis is automatically conducted based on a large number of factors. Unusual transactions are monitored in real time and verified by our Risk department. Based on these factors, it will be determined whether the transaction can proceed.

When our fraud prevention system marks a credit card transaction as having an “elevated risk,” the transaction is temporarily given the VERIFYstatus. Our team of specialists will then conduct an additional check and may contact the Merchant before approving PAID or rejecting CANCELthe payment. We may also decide that the responsibility of accepting/rejecting a possibly fraudulent transaction lies with you as the merchant.

1. Payment information

Once a credit card transaction has been successfully completed, the payment information overview will list all data used to initiate the credit card transaction.

2. and 3. Verify transaction Accept or Reject

If our fraud prevention system marks a transaction as being possibly fraudulent and our specialists decide that the responsibility of accepting or rejecting the transaction lies with you as the merchant, you can accept the transaction in the app with the button Accept. If you do not trust the transaction, you can reject it with the button 3 Reject.

Note: If our system marks your transaction as being possibly fraudulent, that does not necessarily mean it is actually a case of fraud. We advise you to determine the buyer’s identity. You can also find out whether the delivery address is real. If this information is correct, you can accept the transaction. However, if the buyer refuses to cooperate or if the delivery address does not exist, you should reject the transaction to avoid a possible chargeback.

30. Dataretention

PAY. manages data of your company, customer data, and payment data. We need this data to be able to carry out our duties. As soon as we no longer need the data, the data will be archived or deleted.

Reasons to store data

  • Correct processing of payments.
  • Fulfilment of our obligations in the context of our permit (WFT).
  • The provisioning of services to, and communicating with, end users (paying individuals), merchants (our client / the receiving entrepreneur), and their employees.
  • Prevention of fraud, chargebacks, and other risks end users and merchants can be exposed to.
  • Providing insight into realised turnover and generating management reports for the merchant.
  • Error tracking and logging.

30.1. Service level agreement

Depending on your package, PAY. offers the possibility to use financial views and reports. In addition to commercial agreements, referred to as Service Level Agreement (SLA), PAY. also has a legal duty (in the context of our permit), and contractual obligations (with payment option providers) to store payment data.

It is possible to upgrade your package during your relationship with PAY., which may result in archived payment information becoming available again.

30.2. Order data

Order data is a group of data PAY. receives from your system, consisting of data about the purchase.

  • Invoice data (invoice number, invoice date, and delivery date)
  • Address data (invoice address, delivery address)
  • Customer data (name / company name, date of birth)

This information is sometimes forwarded to payment options for the purpose of creating an invoice (in case of payment afterwards or payment in instalments). This information can be used to determine the risk of fraud (e.g. delivery data, e-mail data, and invoice data). This information is used to block specific purchases (e.g. age blocking for alcohol or gaming). You can search for this data during a period of 13 months via Quick search in the Dashboard. This data is retained online for 13 months maximum (this is the period in which your customer can file an unjustified direct debit notice or perform a chargeback). There is no legal obligation to retain this data for a longer period. This data is not archived after this period.

30.3. Statistical Data

Statistics are data the entrepreneur can include and that is stored in the reporting tools of PAY. Based on this data an employee can perform searches and group specific transactions in convenient management reports.

  • Extra1
  • Extra2
  • Extra3
  • Tool
  • Info
  • Object

Storing of personal data in these fields is not allowed. If you include personal data in these fields and we receive a request in the context of the GDPR ‘right to be forgotten’, we will delete the full content of these fields. This data is retained online for 5 years. Depending on your contract, the entrepreneur can retrieve this data after 5 years maximum.

Statistical data is accessible in accordance with the SLA:

30.7. Company & userdata

When you use PAY. ‘s services, we collect certain user data of yours. Depending on your position within your organisation, we will ask for proof of ID. In certain cases, we will ask for additional information on top of that. Lastly, we may also consult external sources to find out more.

Company information

As a financial institution, PAY. is legally required to store company information for a period of seven years.

Your employees’ personal data

Your employees can ask us to delete their personal information. When they do so, we will delete all personal data we have on them. This means it will no longer be possible for you to use their name to determine who performed a specific action on a specific date. This information is replaced by the AL code. These codes are listed in your Admin Panel for the users in question.

Personal data of UBOs, authorised signatories or representatives

If you hold a special position within your organisation, we are legally obligated to store your personal data for a period of seven years.

30.8. Supplier communication

The processing of payments involves much communication via the payment options. This data is logged by PAY. for monitoring the quality and availability of the services of these parties. Examples of this log are:

  • Credit card authorisation and capture request
  • PIN transaction request to a terminal
  • Login, balance request, and topping up a gift card
  • Credit check and starting a pay later order
  • Communication between a bank and PAY. in the case of an iDEAL payment

The above data is available for a period of 1 month after the payment. So, you can query a payment until 1 month after its processing. Such a query is only possible by a second-line support employee (from the Business package).

30.9. Exchange communication

PAY. forwards payment statuses to external systems. This can be your webshop, your checkout, or your accounting program. This is called an exchange.

This information is kept for 1 month for error detection.

31. Merchant Finance

PAY. biedt merchants per 1 september 2021 in samenwerking met Youlend de optie tot een zakelijke financiering aan. Financieringsbedragen zijn mogelijk tussen 1.000 EUR en 1.000.000 EUR met een looptijd van 18 maanden. De hoogte van de financiering wordt bepaald door de online en/of kaartterminal verkoopgeschiedenis alsmede het risicoprofiel van uw merchant account.

Rente en terugbetaling

De rente van de financiering wordt bepaald door Youlend. Er geldt een flexibele terugbetaling als percentage van uw omzet binnen PAY waarbij een kosteloze eerdere aflossing mogelijk is. De terugbetaling geschiedt dus via de omzet die bij PAY. binnenkomt.

Financiering aanvragen

Benieuwd naar de mogelijkheden? U kunt een verzoek tot financiering hier aanvragen. In tegenstelling tot een bank, waar het aanvragen van financiering veel tijd in beslag neemt, is de aanvraag bij PAY. zo gedaan. U ontvangt binnen 24 uur een finaal offer.

Support

Heeft u vragen over deze zakelijke financiering dan kunt u telefonisch contact opnemen via het telefoonnummer +31 8520 80525
