TWINT payments

Learn how to accept TWINT, a popular payment method in Switzerland.

Caution

Stripe can automatically present the relevant payment methods to your customers by evaluating currency, payment method restrictions, and other parameters.

  • Follow the Accept a payment guide to build a Checkout integration that uses dynamic payment methods.
  • If you don’t want to use dynamic payment methods, follow the steps below to manually configure the payment methods in your Checkout integration.

TWINT is a single-use payment method used in Switzerland. It allows customers to authenticate and approve payments using an approved TWINT mobile app.

You get immediate notification on whether the payment succeeded or failed.

Determine compatibility

A Checkout Session must satisfy all of the following conditions to support TWINT:

  • You must express Prices for all line items in Swiss Franc (currency code chf).
