User guide

Generic gateways

The plugin supports generic gateways, which redirect customers from your checkout to a MultiSafepay payment page. This is particularly useful for integrating gift cards.

How to configure generic gateways
  1. Sign in to your Shopware 6 backend.
  2. Go to MultiSafepay settings.
  3. Set the relevant payment method gateway IDs.

You can filter generic gateways by country, and minimum and maximum amount.

Payment components

The plugin supports payment components, which:

  • Provide a seamless checkout experience to increase conversion.
  • Encrypt customer payment details for secure processing.
  • Shift responsibility for PCI DSS compliance to MultiSafepay.
How to activate payment components

If you're new to accepting card payments, email a request to activate them to [email protected]

  1. Sign in to your Shopware backend.
  2. Go to Settings > Payment.
  3. Select each payment method, and then enable the Component toggle.

For questions, email [email protected]

📘 Note: If you have a custom checkout and encounter a conflict with the payment component, the Integration Team will do their best to provide support, but we can't guarantee compatibility in all cases.

Recurring payments are supported.

How to enable recurring payments

Activate recurring payments and then:

  1. Sign in to your Shopware backend.

Refunds

Full and partial refunds except for BNPL methods are supported in your MultiSafepay dashboard and backend.

How to process backend refunds
  1. In your Shopware 6 backend, go to the Order details page.
  2. In the Refund field, enter the refund amount.

Shipping orders

For BNPL orders, after shipment, you must change the order status from Completed to Shipped. This prevents the order expiring and triggers invoicing.

If you change the order status to Delivered in your backend, the updated status is passed to your MultiSafepay dashboard automatically.

Updates

You can update the plugin in your backend and the CMS marketplace, or via using SFTP.

How to update in your backend

User guide

Backend orders

To create backend orders in the MultiSafepay Shopware 5 plugin, Shopware uses a third-party plugin.

See shopwareLabs GitHub – SwagBackendOrder .

We support V2.x versions.

Generic gateways

The plugin supports generic gateways, which allows you to add a payment method manually. This is particularly useful for integrating gift cards specific to your business.

Supported since releases:

  • 2.3.0, March 24, 2021
  • 2.6.0, December 7, 2020
How to configure generic gateways

  2. Go to MultiSafepay settings.
  3. Set the relevant payment method gateway IDs.
  4. Upload a custom gateway image, if relevant.

For support, email [email protected]

You can filter generic gateways by country, and minimum and maximum amount.

Payment methods

Supported payment methods

Refunds

You can process full refunds for all Shopware 5 payment methods except BNPL from your MultiSafepay dashboard and backend.
You cannot refund more than the original amount in your backend.

Session data

Shopware 5 can remove sessions before the order is created in the backend.
To prevent this, we recommend making the following changes to the config.php .

'session' => [
    'save_handler' => 'db',
    'gc_probability' => 0,
    'gc_divisor' => 1000
],

For more information, see Shopware – Blocking transactions .

Shipping orders

For BNPL orders, after shipment, you must change the order status from Completed to Shipped. This prevents the order expiring and triggers invoicing.

If you change the order status to Delivered in your backend, the updated status is passed to your MultiSafepay dashboard automatically.

Transaction and order numbers

Shopware 5 generates an order number and a transaction number.

The order number is generated after the payment is completed (unlike most ecommerce integrations where it is generated at the beginning of the order).

The transaction number is generated when the transaction is initialized. MultiSafepay uses this number as the order ID in transactions.

Updates

You can update the plugin in your backend or the CMS marketplace, or via SFTP.

How to update in your backend

✅   Tip! Make sure you have a backup of your production environment, and that you test the plugin in a staging environment.

  1. Download the plugin again above.
  2. Follow the Installation and configuration instructions from step 2.
