- The general application procedure for credit cards (VISA and MasterCard) with ICEPAY. This application procedure takes at least two weeks, yet can sometimes take even longer.
- A separate application procedure with American Express. Your company will first be evaluated by American Express before you will be able to offer this method of payment in your webshop. The duration of this procedure depends on American Express.
For your customers, paying using the American Express card works the same as with every other credit card.
All your customer has to do is:- Choose a product in your webshop;
- Choose American Express as the payment method;
- Fill in the required credit card information in the American Express secure environment;
- Confirm the payment;
- The payment will be completed once the cardholder's bank has processed the payment order.
Payments for your credit card transactions are not handled by ICEPAY, but by our supplier. These payments are made on a weekly basis. If you would like further information on payments or the implementation of American Express, please contact us.
