Accept EPS payments with Checkout.com as the payment service provider (PSP).

Supported workflows

Before you begin

Complete these steps before you send your first EPS payment through Checkout.com:
  1. Set up a Checkout.com integration in your workspace. Follow the Checkout.com integration setup guide if you don’t have one yet.
  2. Ask Checkout.com support to enable EPS on your Checkout.com account.
  3. In the Payrails Portal, go to Settings → Integrations, open your Checkout.com integration, select EPS under Payment methods, and save.
  4. Add EPS as a payment option in your workflow.

Request fields for Checkout.com

EPS needs no method-specific fields beyond the standard authorize fields, including the returnInfo URLs for the redirect. Required fields must be present for the payment to succeed. Payrails sends Optional fields to the PSP when you include them.

Authorize an EPS payment

Call authorize a payment with eps as the paymentMethodCode. The response includes the redirect to the customer’s bank.
Authorize request
After the customer confirms the payment, the bank returns them to your success or error URL. Confirm the result through webhook notifications or the execution status before you fulfill the order.

How Checkout.com handles EPS

  • Payrails creates the EPS payment through the Checkout.com Payment Setup API. Checkout.com needs no payment token for EPS.
  • If Checkout.com doesn’t return a redirect for a pending EPS payment, Payrails fails the payment, because the customer can’t complete it.
  • Each EPS payment is a new customer-initiated payment.
