How does Ingenico ensure the continuity of payments and reliability of service?
Our fully redundant platform is fully prepared to support and secure your payment flows and is not impacted by any business restrictions.
Furthermore, we have expanded our existing working from home policy to all employees and most of our staff is now working from home. We have provided them with the remote accesses and the tools they need to ensure that transaction processing is not affected.
We can assure you we are 100% available and all our systems are functioning as before
Our customer care teams are organized to ensure continuity of our support services. As usual our team is open for you between 08:30 and 18:00 CET, Monday to Friday for technical queries and 9:00 to 17:00 for Administrative queries.
What do I have to consider when I receive refunds from my customers?
Managing customer loyalty is key currently. So, make sure you do refunds as promised on your site to your end customers. Please make sure you have enough funds and cash reserves for the amount you refund so there is no delay on our side.
To do a refund simply follow the process here.
What do I have to be aware of in case of increased chargebacks?
If you are a business experiencing a high rate of chargebacks in this period, it could lead to an unhappy customer base and you may also incur penalties from card schemes.

How can I accept and execute online payments without a webshop?
If you so far had only one retail store and now want to offer online payments due to a forced closure of your shop, we have solutions for this as well. Our e-Terminal and Payment through links solutions offer you a convenient and secure option for the consolidated processing of transactions. Request more information now.
Should I offer more payment options in the current situation?
In the current situation customers may change their payment behaviour. Let them choose how they want to pay and they’ll be more likely to complete their transactions. As an existing customer you can add additional payment methods anytime. Contact us here.
Please have a look at all available payment methods to support your customers.
