Taking payments online is no longer just for e-commerce stores. Deposits, bookings, classes, gift vouchers: more and more Swiss SMEs want customers to pay directly on their website. That starts with choosing the right payment methods.
The payment methods Swiss customers expect
| Method | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| TWINT | Quick mobile payments | Very widespread in Switzerland, via a compatible provider |
| Cards (Visa, Mastercard) | Swiss and foreign customers | Essential as soon as you sell abroad |
| Apple Pay / Google Pay | One-tap purchases on mobile | Often included by providers |
| QR-bill | Services billed afterwards | No provider fees, but delayed payment |
Which provider should you choose?
- Stripe: very easy to integrate, accepts cards and TWINT, clear dashboards.
- Datatrans: Swiss provider, popular with established businesses and retail.
- Payrexx: Swiss solution aimed at SMEs, with ready-to-use payment pages.
Tip
Compare fees on your real volume, not the published price list.
Rates change and depend on the payment methods used. Ask for a simulation before you commit.
