Once you’ve signed up as a business user (sorted out your contract and SDD mandate), all you need then to receive Payconiq payments via the QR code on a sticker is access to the merchant portal to view and manage payments you receive. You can access it on a tablet, smartphone or PC over a cable or wireless Internet connection.

If you want to integrate Payconiq into your cash register, online store or invoices, your integrator must be equipped for Payconiq too. See the list of integrators provided through Payconiq.

Contract

Contracts are open-ended.

Contact your commercial contact.

Businesses need separate contracts for each location. That means you need a separate e-mail address for logging in at each location. The account to be credited can, however, be the same for all your contracts. This allows all your outlets to be included in the Payconiq by Bancontact app at the right location and each one can access its own Merchant Portal.

No, you don't. Both payment features are provided as standard, which means that's customers are free to choose between scanning your QR code and selecting your business in the list.

Once your business appears in the Payconiq by Bancontact app, you have access to the Merchant Portal. Payconiq sends you a welcome e-mail with instructions on how to get started.

You usually receive your pack within two weeks of signing up for Payconiq. It contains a welcome letter, QR sticker and poster. If you’d like more promotional materials, just send your request to info@payconiq.be.

Once your business appears in the Payconiq by Bancontact app, you receive an e-mail instructing you how to activate your Merchant Portal, including a link to where you can log in: https://portal.payconiq.com/login.

Select ‘Sign Up’ under ‘Service’, then enter the e-mail address to which your welcome e-mail was sent. This will create a temporary password and send it to that e-mail address. If it looks like you haven’t received this e-mail, check your spam folder to see whether it’s ended up there. It may also be blocked by your firewall.

Once you’ve found the e-mail, go back to the Merchant Portal and enter your e-mail address and temporary password. You will be immediately asked to change it.

Check whether you’ve used the right e-mail address (given in your welcome e-mail) with the right password. Make sure there are no spaces before or after the e-mail address or password. If you’re still having problems, contact Payconiq at info@payconiq.be.

Technical support

Yes! It’s still advisable for each of your outlets to create its own Payconiq merchant account so each has separate Merchant Portal access.

You can use the same merchant account on different devices to log in in to your Merchant Portal so you can accept payments by Payconiq in your shop or on the go.

Send an e-mail to info@payconiq.be. Answer the following questions as accurately as possible:

  • At what stage in the process did the problem occur?
  • On what type and model of device did you experience the problem?

No, but you can view payments made to you using Payconiq in the Merchant Portal. A ping noise sounds every time a payment is made (you can activate this under ‘Settings’ in your Merchant Portal). Payers are notified on their smartphone when they’ve paid.
