Payment methods offered
The right payment partner for you is the one that allows you to offer the best shopping experience to your consumers.

Beyond simplifying and smoothing their purchase, they leave your store with a positive memory. Payment methods are a simple way to optimise your website experience.

The security
The security of your customers' data is your responsibility. Choose a PSP that protects you and your customers from fraud, while giving them a sense of security at checkout.
Easy integration into your online store
Once you have chosen your partner, you want to integrate it into your site as quickly as possible. You must therefore take into account the ease and speed of integration of the PSP on Prestashop. We reassure you, the best plugins are present on the Prestashop marketplace. It allows you to add your payment solution to your checkout in a few clicks.
Also pay attention to 2 other key elements when you make your choice; can the PSP support the Prestashop features you need? Like for example the recurring payment (Prestashop Recurring Payment) for subscriptions. You must also be able to manage your refunds on the platform. Also check that the plugin works well on your version of PrestaShop (1.6; 1.7; 8.0...).
Price
Obviously you have to take into account, for the health of your business, the costs and fees of the PSP. Each solution charges differently, however, the most important thing is that you choose a PSP that puts forward transparent pricing and does not charge you for failed payments. Also prioritise a flexible contract, which allows you to easily exit if the partnership no longer suits you.
Localized support, guidance and expertise
When choosing your PSP, look for a partner that has real expertise in the market(s) in which your company operates. If you are expanding into Europe, a PSP with expertise in payments on the continent will be able to help you in your international development and guide you in the choice of the most suitable payment methods.
A PSP can also offer you many features that go beyond payment methods and quick integration. Personalised guidance and human support services can make your business life easier. There are also multiple payment features to boost your conversions and tools that can help you manage your accounts and simplify your daily life. For example, a PSP can allow you to manage your refunds via Prestashop, which is impossible with a banking module.
