What's this payment to Paytrail on my statement?

Paytrail is a payment service provider and provides online payment methods to online businesses. If you see Paytrail on your statement, it is because we have handled the payment made to an online business.

These can help jog your memory 🙂

  • Usually you get an order confirmation when paying online, check your inbox and junk folder around the same date as the payment was made.
  • After payment, Paytrail emails a payment confirmation in cases where the online business has provided us with the payer's email address. The final recipient of the payment is on the payment confirmation.
  • Have you paid state or municipal fees online?
    • Police e-services uses Paytrail for payments made for passports and/or ID card applications.
    • Trafi uses Paytrail for payments made to renew driver's licenses and changes to vehicle ownership or use
  • Have you made any changes to your business? The Finnish Patent and Registration Office uses our service (i.e. company change notifications).
  • Have you bought any digital products via mobile app such as tickets, games, ebooks or music?
  • Have you made any travel arrangements around that time? Reserve a hotel room or rent a car?
  • Have you donated to a charity, paid membership fees, or registered for a course at an educational institution?
  • Have you given your card details to your spouse, or children?

If you still don't know what the payment was for, feel free to send us a message at payments@paytrail.com. When contacting us, please send the following payment information: 

For online bank payments: a screen shot of the payment from your bank statement with all payment details visible (payer's name as it appears on payment, date, amount, reference number/message). Or if a screen shot isn't possible, the same info: payer's name as it appears on payment, date, amount, reference number/message. 

For card payments: the last 4 digits of your card, the date, amount of the payment. 

Where can I get a receipt for my purchase?

Most online stores will email you an order confirmation, which will also serve as a receipt.

If you have not received your order confirmation or you can no longer find it, please contact the online store where you made the purchase. 

If you do not remember where you made the purchase or do not have the contact information for the online store, please send us a message at  payments@paytrail.com. Please make sure to provide either a screen shot of the payment from your bank statement with all payment details visible (payer's name, date, amount, reference number/message) or for card payments the last 4 digits of your card, the date, amount of the payment. We are happy to help!

I paid but haven't received my order, what now?

 

Always first contact the online store where the payment was made. Please be patient, some online stores take several days to reply. If you are unable to reach them, please contact our customer service and we will be happy to assist you. Please make sure to provide either a screen shot of the payment from your bank statement will all payment details visible (payer's name, date, amount, reference number) or for card payments the last 4 digits of your card, the date, amount of the payment. 

We will work with the online store to determine the status of your order and payment as soon as possible.

If you prefer to cancel your order paid via Paytrail, please use these instructions.

I can't find a refund even though I should have already received it, what advice can you offer?

Refunds should be made to the same payment method that you originally used to pay for the purchase. If it's been agreed with the merchant that a refund will be made to you and the merchant has already said that they have refunded the payment, but you cannot find the refund, please see the instructions below:

Online bank refunds:

  • It usually takes a few business days to process the refund due to the money being transferred between banks.

  • The refund is made to the account where you originally made the payment from. Please note that the refund may also appear in your online bank on the original payment date.

Card refunds (debit/credit cards):

  • The credit to your card can appear in different ways:
    • As a credit in card transactions (Note! So not in account transactions, but specifically in card transactions). The credit can appear either 1-15 banking days after the refund is initiated, or on the original payment date.
    • As a credit on your credit card statement. In this case, the credit will not necessarily appear on the card transactions, but the credit has been taken into account and can be seen on the next billing cycle.
    • If needed, you can contact your card issuer if you are not sure how the refund will be handled.

MobilePay refunds: 

  • Refunds do not show in the transaction of the MobilePay app.
  • The refund can appear in MobilePay in different ways, depending on whether a credit or debit card is connected to MobilePay.
  • See card refunds description.
  • If the refund is made on the same day as the original charge, the refund may change the amount of the charge to 0€ or the original charge may be removed from the transactions completely.

Invoice refunds (Walley, Jousto or OP Lasku):

  • Information about the refund is automatically forwarded to the Buy now, Pay later service. Most Buy now, Pay later services have their own portal where you can check the status of the refund.
  • If you return part of your order, you can deduct that amount from the total amount of the invoice you have already received. In the case you are paying in installments, the amount of your refund is automatically deducted from the total amount of the loan.
  • If you have already paid the invoice and you are entitled to a refund, please contact the Buy now, Pay later service regarding the refund of the overpayment.

Do I need to provide my account number for a refund?

After the merchant has agreed to the refund, they will initiate a refund for your payment. If you originally paid for the purchase through your online bank, the refund will be automatically made to the account from which you originally made the payment.

If you have made a payment through S-Bank or Ă…landsbanken or the bank's time frame for direct refunds has expired, you will receive an email from Paytrail that will ask you to provide your account number for the refund. Make sure to enter your account number in the official IBAN format. The IBAN has a total of 18 characters and begins with the letters FI. After you have provided your account number, you will need to verify your identity and then the refund will be processed.

Customer service for merchants

In this section you can find answers to frequently asked questions.

How can I use Merchant panel and how do I get settlement reports?

The Merchant panel is a versatile payment traffic monitoring and analysis tool, where you can make refunds and get reports for accounting purposes.

You can find instructions on using the Merchant panel in our Help Center.

The customer says they have paid for the order, but I can’t find it or the order appears unpaid?

Please find out what payment method the customer used when making the payment and if the payment was successful. You can then search for the payment in the Merchant panel using several different search criteria. You can find instructions for searching for payments in our Help Center. If the customer’s payment has a status of “Paid” in the Merchant panel, you can deliver the customer’s order/provide the service.

Sometimes a successful payment can temporarily remain in the “New” status. This can happen if there’s an interruption in the redirect from the bank to the online store (e.g. the customer closed the browser or there was internet connection issue). If the money has been deducted from the customer’s account, Paytrail will receive information that the payment was successful within 1-3 banking days, after which the status of the payment will change to Paid in the Merchant panel. You should send the order or render service only when the payment status is Paid.

Most e-commerce platforms have a callback feature, whereby information about a change in payment status is sent as a callback to the online store. More information about callback can be found in our documentation.

How can I create a payment link?

It is possible to create a payment link for the customer via the Merchant Panel. See instructions for creating a payment link in this article.

How do I refund a payment to the customer?

Always make refunds in the Merchant panel or through the payment interface to the customer’s payment. This ensures that the refund is made to the same payment method originally used. Refunds are deducted from the merchant’s merchant account balance. So please make sure that the merchant account balance is sufficient to make the refund. You can also transfer funds to your merchant account.
