Paysafecard is the most popular online prepaid payment method in the world and is available in various values, namely €10, €25, €50 and €100. The card contains a unique 16-digit code that the customer can use to make a payment.
Paysafecard is known as an anonymous payment method. The payment method is mainly used to pay for digital services.
2. Activation
If you activate this payment option within your sales location, your file status is approved, and the sales location is linked to the correct category, this payment option is immediately active. A Paysafecard employee will then check whether your offering indeed complies with the rules set by Paysafecard.
Non-compliance email
If Paysafecard does not accept your offering, PAY. removes the payment option from your sales location. If you disagree with this rejection, you can contact Paysafecard.
Age verification
Age verification must be integrated whenever age verification is required for specific products or services. This is the case for, for example, tobacco products or gambling activities. For these products and services, the minimum user age must be observed.
URL, offering and description
