Ecocheques is a payment method that allows private customers in Belgium to redeem eco vouchers for purchases of eligible goods and services. After selecting Ecocheques during checkout, customers are redirected to the payever checkout page, where they can choose their voucher provider (Edenred, Monizze, or Pluxee). Once the voucher has been successfully redeemed, the redeemed amount is credited, and any remaining balance can be paid using one of the other payment methods offered in your shop.
Who can use Ecocheques?
EcoCheque is available to private customers residing in Belgium who hold a valid eco voucher with one of the supported providers: Edenred, Monizze, or Pluxee. The payment method can only be used for purchases of eco-friendly products that are approved under Belgian regulations. As a merchant, it is your responsibility to ensure that eligible products are clearly marked in your online store.
How it works
Once Ecocheques has been activated in your checkout, the payment method will be available to customers in Belgium.
During the checkout process, the customer selects Ecocheques as the payment method and is then redirected to the payever checkout page. There, the customer can choose one of the supported voucher providers (Edenred, Monizze, or Pluxee) and is forwarded to the selected provider’s platform. After logging in and completing the redemption of their eco voucher, the customer is automatically redirected back to the payever checkout page.
The redeemed amount is then applied to the transaction. If there is a remaining balance, the customer can complete the payment using any other method available in your shop, such as credit card, Bancontact, direct debit, or instant payment. This multibasket logic ensures a seamless and flexible checkout experience for your customers.
Fees & Onboarding
The fees for Ecocheques are determined individually based on your agreement with the respective voucher providers.
To enable Ecocheques in your shop, you need to have valid contracts with at least one of the supported eco voucher providers. Once you have established these agreements, you can request the activation of the payment method by contacting our support team via 📧 support@payever.de. Our team will then assist you with the onboarding process and help you integrate Ecocheques into your checkout.
How to install EcoCheque in payever
Step 1: Create your free payever Business Account
First, set up your free payever business account according to your needs. We recommend completing your shop setup before proceeding with the next steps. You can find a detailed onboarding guide here or register directly via this link.
Step 2: Install Ecocheques via the Connect app
Navigate to the Connect app in your payever account by clicking on the “Connect” button in the dashboard.
Scroll through the list of available payment options or use the search bar to find Ecocheques. Once located, click Install.
Step 3: Configure Ecocheques
Once EcoCheque is installed and activated, click on Open to begin configuring the payment method.
Connect/ Edit each provider and enter your credentials and merchant details associated with the voucher providers you have contracted (Edenred, Monizze, and/or Pluxee).
Fill out the API key in the Merchant ID and klick Connect.
Adjust your settings as needed. You can choose if the orders capture automatically on authorize, fulfillment or manually:
- Select Auto-Capture on fulfilment (recommended) if you want the payment to be activated when you are notified that the goods have been dispatched. It then initially has the status ACCEPTED and only changes to PAID when the dispatch notification is sent to payever. You can report the dispatch of goods directly in the payever account (transaction details -> “Goods dispatched”) or trigger it automatically via your store system (varies depending on the store system, e.g. automatically in Shopware 5 when the status changes to “Fully delivered”).
-
Select Auto-Capture on authorization if the payment is to be automatically activated directly on approval. It will then immediately receive the PAID status and your customer will also receive the payment request immediately. Please note that you may only use this option if the following conditions are met:
You generally ship your orders very promptly (within approx. three working days of receiving the order).
You only sell the stock in your online store that you actually have in stock - i.e. you do not use drop shipping or order picking (order/purchase order to manufacturer/wholesaler only after customer order) and you do not make individual products to order.
Select manual capture if payment is to be made exclusively by manual capture in the payever platform. We do not usually recommend this setting as it would mean too much manual effort for most merchants.
If you now click on Return, you will see that the connection is displayed as default. If you want to change your settings again later, you can do this by clicking on View next to Default.
Make sure to Save to apply all changes.
Display Settings
You can configure how the payment method is presented to your customers during the checkout process. This includes customizing the display text and logo, defining the countries in which the payment method is available, and setting minimum and maximum transaction amount limits.
These settings allow you to ensure that the payment method is shown only to the appropriate customers and under the desired conditions.
