4Payment Method Configuration

Most of the payment method configuration is done in PostFinance Checkout. After following the steps of the previous steps, the PostFinance Checkout payment method configurations will be synchronized automatically into the Magento store. There are just a few payment method settings in the Magento store in Stores → Configuration → Sales → Payment Methods.

5FAQ

5.1How can I make the payment methods appear in the checkout?

Make sure that you followed the Configuration section by stating your PostFinance Checkout space ID and application user’s access information in the Magento backend. By saving the configuration form the synchronization of the payment methods and the set up of the webhooks are initiated.

If this does not solve the problem, it could be that you use a special fee or coupon module that we do not support. Try to disable this plugin and see if it helps. The payment methods are only displayed if the plugin’s total calculation matches the actual order total.

5.2How can I change the look and feel, payment method name, emails etc.?

All these configurations are done directly in PostFinance Checkout. For more information have a look at the PostFinance Checkout documentation.
