TWINT for Magento
TWINT is Switzerland’s most widely used payment app. Combined with Magento, the enterprise shop system for complex requirements, you offer your customers exactly the payment option they expect at checkout. With zahls.ch you connect the two without any coding: create an account, set up the integration, activate TWINT. It then appears directly in the checkout of your Magento store, and all transactions are gathered clearly in your dashboard.
Magento (Adobe Commerce) is an enterprise ecommerce system for demanding projects: multiple storefronts, complex catalogues, B2B features, and deep customisability are core to the platform.
The connection to zahls.ch uses the official Zahls_PaymentGateway module from GitHub. Install it under app/code/Zahls/PaymentGateway/, enter the API keys, and configure payment methods per store view and currency.
You keep track of payments, refunds, and payouts in the zahls.ch dashboard; order statuses in Magento are kept up to date via webhooks.
Magento targets larger merchants and agency projects with their own development team that need maximum flexibility and accept a higher setup complexity in return.
