Important

*The consumer must proactively ask for conversion and pay for Foreign Exchange on paysafecard's side.

Transaction Flow

  1. The consumer purchases a paysafecard voucher.
  2. On the merchant's checkout page, the consumer selects paysafecard as their preferred payment method.
  3. They are redirected to the paysafecard page, where they enter the 16-digit voucher code and submit the payment.
  4. Alternatively, if the consumer has a my paysafecard account, they can also top up their account using this voucher. Upon redirection to the paysafecard page, they can choose to login to their my paysafecard account and approve the payment from there.
  5. PPRO receives a payment confirmation and notifies the partner/merchant about the payment status.
  6. The merchant is notified of the payment status and can ship the goods.

Refunds

Refunds through paysafecard are only possible for consumers with "my paysafecard" accounts.

Merchants must use another method to refund the consumer if:

  • The consumer does not have a My paysafe account

Or

  • The consumer is from a country where My paysafecard is unavailable

specin.email for refunds

👍

Note

When the original payment is made via their my paysafecard account no email is required. If the original payment is not made via an account, then the email is mandatory.

i.e. If an error 3185 is returned then the specin.email is required.
