A crucial step to get the cash flow going in your new e-commerce webshop is to get an acquiring agreement. With access to a great variety payment methods from Billwerk+, your customers can shop and pay with the methods they prefer.

In order to get these, you need the acquiring agreement, as the acquiring bank is an important part of the payment process chain from the payment gateway to the customer’s bank and then back to you.

In order to get an acquiring agreement, your website needs to fulfill certain conditions that the acquiring banks require.

Follow this checklist to ensure that your website meets the requirements!

Good to know:

• All card information must be held on a SSL secured page or connection
• Your customers must accept your terms and conditions before completing a purchase of a service, product or subscription, and you need to have a clickable link to your terms and conditions directing the customers to them
• When your customers have completed a payment on your website, they must see and receive a receipt of the product they have bought

If you don’t already have an agreement with an acquirer, log in to your Billwerk+ Platform to get set up with a suitable acquirer,
who will contact you to set you up. For a step by step guide to fill in your acquiring application, please see this Help Center article.

If you already have an acquiring agreement in the same category as your new webshop, all you need to do is link it to your live Billwerk+ account.
