Worldline has come a long way. With its origins dating back to the late 1990s/early 2000s, we have developed a variety of features over the years.

With the advent of Direct, we have and keep developing key legacy features that have become cornerstones in our portfolio. However, the technological and age gap between legacy and Direct requires us to review some of these features.

Hence, in some cases, a specific legacy feature you are currently using will not be available for Direct.

However, as Direct is a highly adaptable product, there is always a Direct-specific solution for impacted legacy features. Replacing the legacy feature with the Direct product will be smooth and come with long-term support and overall improved performance.

Payment methods

Depending on the payment methods you are currently using or that you wish to use in the future, difference apply. 

Payment methods that will function without any changes

You can already start using the following payment methods using our Direct API:

Payment methods that require configuration updates

Some payment methods require extra configuration steps:

Once activated for Direct, these payment methods will stop working on legacy. Activate them only when you are prepared to transition to Direct. To exclude them on legacy, use the parameter "EXCLPMLIST" (example: EXCLPMLIST=PayPal;Przelewy24;Eps;POSTFINANCEefinance).

To activate these payment methods for Direct, follow these steps: 

  1. Log in to the Back Office.
  2. Go to Go to Configuration > Payment methods.
  3. In "Selected payment methods", click on the "Edit" button for the payment method you want to configure. 
  4. Fill in the missing information in the subsequent screen. Click on "SUBMIT" to confirm.

Payment methods that are no longer supported

Some payment methods are no longer supported as they have been replaced by newer options.

You can activate them in PREPROD (test) on your own. However, for PROD (live), contact the payment method provider to sign a contract and activate the payment method.

Webhooks

Unlike legacy, our platform does not send e-Mail notifications for transaction status updates.

Customer e-Mail notification

Webhooks
