Swish is Sweden\'s dominant instant payment system, used by over 8 million Swedes for everything from peer-to-peer transfers to service payments and online purchases. Swedish customers booking services online increasingly expect Swish as a payment option -- and businesses that offer it see higher mobile booking conversion.
How does WayPAY support Swish payments?
WayPAY processes Swish through Stripe. When a Swedish customer books a service through WayPAY and selects Swish, they confirm the payment in the Swish app. The booking is confirmed automatically once payment is complete. Funds are paid out through Stripe's standard schedule -- no separate Swish merchant account is needed.
Why is Swish support important for Swedish service businesses?
Swish has near-universal adoption among smartphone users in Sweden. Customers who prefer not to enter card details online will use Swish if available. For service businesses in Sweden, offering Swish at booking time removes a significant barrier for a large segment of potential customers, particularly for mobile bookings.
Is Swish available for all WayPAY services and rentals in Sweden?
Yes. Swish is available for all booking types in WayPAY for Swedish businesses -- service appointments, rental bookings, class registrations, and memberships. It is enabled automatically through the Stripe connection and requires no additional configuration.
