Defining display options
When the consumer to your online shop selects the payment method Sofort, a pop-up will open by default to enter the relevant consumer’s payment details. Since a lot of consumers have pop-up blockers enabled, the pop-up may not be shown and consumers may not proceed with the payment process. In order to allow consumers to proceed with the checkout even if pop-up blockers are enabled, Wirecard offers the option to open Sofort as a page.
Please contact our support teams to enable this feature.
Designing the payment selection page
Increase the acceptance and benefit from the advantages.
For example: Showing the banner of Sofort with the TÜV certificate on your selection page.
If you have no possibility to integrate the banner, you may use the following text to describe Sofort:
Sofort: Direct payment via online banking
When shopping online, select Sofort as the payment method. This automatically redirects you to the securely encrypted payment wizard of Sofort. Select your country and bank and login using your online banking login details. At the end, confirm the credit transfer by entering a confirmation code.
Designing your web site
