    Before you start

    The Credit Card payment methods are activated automatically with the Nexi contract.

    Payment Flow

    Credit card payment steps

    1. Reservation (or authorization) - Your customer's payment details get verified and the transaction gets approved. Now the funds are reserved and ready for you to collect them.
    2. Charge (or capture, settlement) - Once the order is shipped, you can charge the funds from within your Nexi XPay account (a separate capture). That helps avoid refunds and chargebacks.

    Nexi Checkout credit card payments features

    • Subscriptions (or recurring payments)
    • Refunds (full and partial)
    • Capture (full and partial)

    You can also cancel payments as long as you have not charged the funds.

    Please find the detailed descriptions of these and other events (update order, terminate payment, cancel pending refund) in our API reference.
