What is an acquiring agreement?

Simply said, an acquirer is the link between the bank and your customer’s credit card that controls and validates the credit card as well as possession of an amount of your revenue to secure chargeback before paying the amount into your bank account. Find more information in our blog: Acquirer

Card acquiring through Frisbii Pay

If you would like to get an acquiring agreement from Frisbii, you can apply for one by using this application.

The acquirer agreement(s) determine which cards you can accept.

Sign up for an acquirer agreement.
Example: You have two acquirer agreements. One with NETS for Dankort/Visa-Dankort and one with Clearhaus for the rest of the cards like VISA/Mastercard.
Configure which cards you would like to accept:
1. Go to Configuration → Checkout management → Payment Methods.
2. Click into the Cards box on Credit card agreement.
3. Go the Acquirer you set up and select the Payment methods you would like to set up for your acquirer.
  Note
  If you use the payment method card as a wildcard you can accept all your supported cards through your acquirers.

But regardless of the cards you have activated on your acquirer agreement, you are able to overwrite the selected cards by using the payment method parameter.

This example from a session shows how you 'limit' the cards you can accept to:

"payment_methods": ["dankort","visa","visa_dk","mc"],

Example:

Your customer tries to pay with a VISA Electron visa_elec.

The error: Card number does not match any of the permitted card types will pop up, since you have limited the pay types, even though VISA Electron is activated on the Clearhaus agreement.

The payment_method argument

You can use the parameter payment_methods (part of the Checkout Payment Methods) to set by default a payment method that will be shown to your customer in the checkout window.

Note
If you do not include this parameter in your call to Frisbii, all available payment methods, the merchant activated on the account will be shown.

Example:

You configured a Pay with Mobilepay Online button on your own site.
Then you create the session with payment_methods: mobilepay.
Frisbii will then direct the customer directly to Mobilepay Online.

You can see this as a live example on our customer bandageshoppen.dk.

Using an existing agreement when opening a second webshop

If the products sold in your new webshop are in the same category as the products sold in your current webshop and you want to receive your settlements from us in the same currency, you can use the existing agreement.

You simply need to send us an email with your new domain name. Remember to include your customer number (MID) or company name.

If the new webshop is selling products in a different category or if you wish to receive payments from the new webshop in a different currency you will need to make a new agreement with us.
