Set up instant bank transfer as a payment method

At events with active ticketing, payments can be received and processed automatically via Sofort.

Setting up Sofort involves two steps:

Your guests can pay with Sofort using their familiar online banking details via direct transfer. The amount is transferred from the guest's online banking account to your account. Invitario immediately receives a real-time transaction confirmation of the transfer initiation, allowing the order to be completed and the confirmation email and, if applicable, the access tickets to be sent directly.

Step 1: Setting up an account with the payment processor KLARNA (sofort.com)

To capture payments via Sofort with Invitario, you need to create an account with KLARNA.

Fees (as of 12/2019):
Attention: The activation of a new account may take several business days.

Step 2: Set up a new project in KLARNA

  1. Once the KLARNA account is created and activated, you will receive a message from KLARNA.
  2. Log in to your KLARNA account and then create a new "Gateway Project."

  3. Select "Own Shop System (self-programmed)"



  4. You will then receive the configuration key, which you need to link with your Invitario account.
After successfully setting up the KLARNA account, you can link it with your Invitario account.
  1. Open > Account in the side menu > Administration > Payment Methods
  2. Select "SOFORT TRANSFER" . If a payment method is already set up, click the "Add" icon and select the "SOFORT" option.
  3. Enter a name; this will be displayed as an option in the selection fields – make sure it is understandable, especially if you are setting up multiple (SOFORT) payment methods. You can restrict the payment method in the "Restrictions" field to a specific target group, so it is only available to contacts in that group.
  4. Enter the configuration key received from SOFORT in the "SOFORT Configuration Key" field and save your entry.
Attention: Please note that for SOFORT transfers, the event name is automatically used as the purpose. As the purpose field is limited to 27 characters in KLARNA, make sure the event name does not exceed this length.

Payment methods set up at the account level are available for all events in the account. You can also set up payment methods in an event under > Ticketing > Payment Methods – these are only available for that specific event.
