Paymill

Paymill is now deprecated. Existing users can continue using the integration without interruption. However, new onboarding is no longer available.

Paymill is a leading online payment provider in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Chargebee allows you to easily connect with Paymill to process your payments.

Here are a few things you need to know before you choose Paymill:

Countries supported: Paymill is available for companies based in Europe. Click here to see if Paymill is supported in your location.

Payment methods: Chargebee currently supports only card payments made via Paymill.

Note:

3D Secure is not supported for this integration.

Integration options

Chargebee provides two options to integrate with Paymill.

Chargebee Checkout and Paymill Payment Gateway

The customer's card information is collected by Chargebee's checkout and passed on to Paymill. This option relieves you from PCI compliance requirements. All you need to do is fill out and submit this Self Assessment Questionnaire to stay compliant.

Chargebee API and Paymill Payment Gateway

The customer's card information must be collected at your end and passed on to Chargebee. Chargebee will then route the card information to Paymill. PCI compliance requirements must be handled by you.

Prerequisites

  1. Chargebee uses Spreedly, a third party card vault, to store the customer's card information. If you are using Paymill's service, you will have to migrate your customer's card information to Spreedly to start using Paymill with Chargebee. Contact support for more information about the migration process.
  2. To configure Paymill in Chargebee, you must have a account with Paymill. If you don't, please create one.
