How do I activate acceptance of Swile and Bimpli cards on my payment terminal?

As an affiliate, your contract is “all-in-one”: it automatically covers the acceptance of Swile cards and Bimpli products (formerly Apetiz), both cards and paper vouchers, following the merger between Swile and Bimpli in January 2024.

Once you’re affiliated, two separate activations are required: one for Swile cards only (via your TPE credentials in your Swile affiliate area), and another for Bimpli cards (formerly Apetiz) only (via a Conecs setup on your TPE, depending on the card generation). These two activations are completely independent: setting up one does not activate the other.

How do I activate Swile card payments on my TPE?

To accept Swile card payments on your TPE, enter your TPE credentials in your Swile affiliate area. This step only concerns Swile card payments: it has no effect on the acceptance of Bimpli cards (formerly Apetiz), which is set up separately (see the next section).

1. Step 1: Log in to your Swile affiliate area.
2. Step 2: Go to the section for your TPE credentials.
3. Step 3: Enter your TPE credentials, then save.

For full details of this process, see our article How do I find and add your TPE credentials?

How do I activate Bimpli card acceptance on my TPE?

To accept Bimpli card payments (formerly Apetiz) on your TPE, the setup depends on the card generation. Bimpli cards work on a hybrid network using two separate channels: the standard banking channel (1st generation cards) and the Conecs channel (2nd generation cards).

1st generation Bimpli cards: standard banking channel

No configuration is needed on your TPE for 1st generation Bimpli cards. Transactions are automatically sent with your CB batch, just like a regular bank card.

2nd generation Bimpli cards: Conecs channel

To accept 2nd generation Bimpli cards on your TPE, you need to set up your terminal to accept payments via the Conecs network. This setup is done directly with your TPE provider, not in your Swile affiliate area.

1. Have your bank domiciliation card ready.
2. Contact your TPE provider to set up payments via the Conecs network on your terminal.

For more information, see the Conecs procedure.
