Our credit card
payment solution
CentralPay enables you to accept remote payments by major credit card schemes (Cartes Bancaires, Visa, Mastercard, American Express...) and major currencies.
Card fees, known as Interchange+, include all commissions deducted from the merchant's credit card payment transactions:
- Interchange fee, charged by the cardholder's bank.
- Card Scheme Fees, charged by the bank card networks (CB, Visa, Mastercard, etc.).
- Service fees, invoiced by CentralPay to operate the platform and associated services. These fees vary according to collection volumes and payment options chosen.
Yes. This payment method is particularly suitable for recurring payments:
- By subscription, for companies with a recurrent billing model: daily, weekly, monthly, annual…
- Installment, for merchants willing to allow their customers to pay in installments, while automating the debt collection process.
There are several advantages to credit card payment:
- Speed: When you pay by credit card, the capture is carried out instantly, guaranteeing that your account will be funded within 24 hours.
- Accessibility: Widely used worldwide, credit cards are particularly suitable for transactions under €2,000.
- Bank-assured solvency: If the cardholder does not have enough funds, your account will still be credited with the amount of the transaction.
- Low dispute rate: The strong authentication protocol minimizes the risk of customer disputes and the associated chargeback costs.

- A wide range of payment facilities: The bankcard offers customers a wide range of payment features (Apple and Google Pay, multi-card, 1-click, etc.).
- Quick and easy integration: Whether hosted or integrated, a credit card payment form is relatively easy to integrate into your site.
There are 3 types of operation:
- Bank authorization: Inquiry with the cardholder's bank to verify the availability of funds. A valid authorization allows the merchant to capture the requested amount for up to 7 days.
- Capture: Card debit based on authorization or pre-authorization. The funds are insured, but the actual debit takes place during interbank clearing.
- Debit: Movement of funds from the cardholder's bank to the merchant's account. Usually executed after a validated authorization, but can be deferred for specific payments or variable amounts.
The 3DS protocol secures and validates the cardholder's identity, limiting the risk of card disputes. Nevertheless, other incidents may prompt a customer to contest a transaction: failure to provide service, lack of consent, non-compliant service, etc.
When a dispute occurs, CentralPay is notified of the disputed payment and will inform you as well. You then have 20 calendar days to send proof of delivery/consent/quality of service. A judgment is then issued to determine the dispute outcome:
- Win: You are successful, the outstanding amount has been rejected. The funds will be refunded to you.
- Lost: You are unsuccessful, and the unpaid balance is retained. The funds cannot be refunded.
