Getting Started with Payconiq integration in a third-party payment solution
Welcome to Payconiq. You can start using your Payconiq payment solution as soon as you receive your welcome email.
This guide will show you how to connect your Payconiq account to your payment system provider's solution.
Getting started
You can begin as soon as you’ve received the emails titled "Welcome to Payconiq" and "Your Payconiq integration details are now available".
Open the email titled "Your Payconiq integration details are now available"
This email contains vital information, such as your activation key (API key). Get started right away, as the email is only valid for 7 days for security reasons.
Share the details with your provider
Your provider will need your Payconiq account details to link up to their payment solution. The link in the email can only be opened five times, so be sure to save the information securely for future use.
Wait for confirmation from your provider
Your provider will inform you once your Payconiq account has been successfully linked up to the system.
Carry out a test payment
To make sure everything is working properly, please carry out a test payment.
Once Payconiq is selected as the payment method, you can scan the QR code to complete the transaction.
The person who pays you authorizes the purchase using their PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition
Payment confirmation will appear in your app dashboard, as well as in the Payconiq merchant portal

If the link expires, simply request a new one by selecting ‘Forgot password.’ Your login will be the email address you used to register your Payconiq account.

What are the limits for receiving Payconiq payments?
There are no limits for receiving Payconiq payments via the QR code on a sticker, cash register system, payment terminal, invoice or website. This means you can receive unlimited payments.
However, your customers will have a payment limit that depends on the registration in their app.
- If your customers have their bank account linked to the Payconiq by Bancontact app, then their limit will depend on their bank

This limit only applies when payment is made via the Payconiq by Bancontact app. If your customer uses a banking app, then the bank limit applies.
IMPORTANT! Merchants are not permitted to receive business payments via the QR code that can be generated in the Payconiq by Bancontact app. This functionality is intended for payments to be made between friends and has a limit of € 250.
