How it works

Processing Ratepay orders with PAYONE


Checkout

authorization

When a shopper selected Ratepay's payment method, we do several velocity and fraud checks. Based on their results we accept or decline the transaction. There is no status like PENDING. In case of SUCCESS, you can start fulfilling the purchase order immediately.


Shipping and invoicing

capture

We can generate the invoice on behalf of you whenever we get a capture call. We expect capture calls in parallel to each (partial) shipment.

danger

Do not capture immediately, as this may resume in pre-payments and dunning letters due to long delivery periods.
