TWINT for businesses

TWINT lets your customers pay with their smartphones in your store, on your website, at your vending machines, for your membership fees – and even at a mobile point of sale.

TWINT payment solutions

QR Code

A simple code or one with a form

Your business doesn’t have a payment terminal or cash register? No problem. TWINT offers a printed QR code (also available as a sticker) for attended and unattended points of sale. You can order QR codes for an undefined payment amount or a fixed amount of your choice. You can also order QR codes that, when scanned, ask the client to enter specific payment-related information (the customer’s name, reason for the payment, etc.) into a form.

Payment link

With the TWINT payment link, you can accept digital payments even if you don’t have an online store. You can, for example, send the link in an email, newsletter, or text message, or display it on your website. Your customer can then click on the link and pay with TWINT.

Payment terminal

Do you already use a payment terminal and want to offer the option of paying with TWINT too? All you need to do is activate TWINT on your payment terminal. Your customers can then just scan the QR code that’s displayed there and pay with TWINT.

Online shops

TWINT is a simple payment solution that’s ideal for online merchants of any size. It can be set up either through your payment service provider or a standalone plug-in.

FAQ

What are the advantages of offering TWINT as a payment solution?

TWINT offers a simple payment process with attractive transaction fees for all sales channels: self-service points of sale, cash registers, vending machines, online shops, and app stores. It’s also ideal for mobile points of sale using a smartphone or tablet.

What equipment do I need to accept TWINT payments?

Thanks to self-service TWINT QR codes, you can accept TWINT payments even if you don’t have a cash register or payment terminal. Simply order printed QR codes for an undefined payment amount if you typically receive payments in different amounts, or for a fixed amount if you routinely charge the same amount. Then display these QR codes at your point of sale, and your customers can pay using TWINT.
If you already have a payment terminal that can display a QR code, you can use it to collect TWINT payments.
You can also order QR codes that, when scanned, ask the client to provide payment-related information such as the client’s mailing address for order delivery, or their email address so you can send a thank-you email following a purchase.
If you sell your products or services via email, newsletter, or WhatsApp, for example, you can get paid by simply providing your customers with a TWINT payment link.

How much does TWINT cost?

As a business owner, you pay the transaction fees (which depend on the acquirer).

How do I receive the money from TWINT payments?

The total amount of the transactions made before 11pm each day will be credited to your account two days after the payment value date. You’ll receive a daily list of transactions that indicates the payment date.
