Here at Inbank we strive to help our partners sell more by simplifying purchases and making financing more accessible to customers. For exactly this reason we offer a number of buy-now-pay-later solutions.
The Pay Later Platform by Inbank connects partner e-shops with our e-POS solution. With e-POS, partners only need to add Inbank as a payment method and Inbank will take care of all the rest. Customers are redirected to the e-POS environment to complete the financing of the purchase. After a successful financing process we redirect the customer back to you.
Inbank e-POS is supplemented with Inbank Partner Portal where merchants can see the overview of submitted credit applications, create applications for customers and conduct contract withdrawals.
If you have any questions about Inbank e-POS or have trouble with your integration, just contact our integration team and we will be happy to help:
- Estonia - integration@inbank.ee
- Poland - integration@inbank.pl
- Latvia - integration@inbank.lv

- API data updates. The extension retrieves data from Inbank regarding the conditions of payment products offered to customers. This data can undergo changes on the Inbank side. If such changes occur, product parameters should also be updated in the extension, for the customers to successfully use Inbank payment methods.

This section showcases how Inbank payment methods work at checkout.
Note that the following screenshots are only demonstrational. The actual way the Inbank payment methods appear in your OpenCart store depends on the storefront theme, extension settings, the Inbank branch with which you have concluded the contract and the locale of your store.
- If enabled, Inbank monthly payment calculations appear on product pages.
- Inbank products appear at checkout as available payment methods:
Once customers choose Inbank products as their payment method, confirm the order and click Confirm order, they are redirected to the Inbank environment. Here customers go through a number of dialogs to complete the financing of the purchase.
After completing the procedure in Inbank environment, customers are redirected back to the shop.
If the purchase has been financed by Inbank, the customer will be redirected to the page configured in your OpenCart instance as the payment success page. Otherwise, the customer will be redirected back to the cart.
Payment transactions can be viewed in the Sales > Orders section of the back office.
Until the credit contract has been signed by the customer and approved by Inbank for financing, it remains in status Inbank: waiting for financing.
Orders which have been successfully financed by Inbank receive status Inbank: purchase financed.
If the flow is configured to require merchant approval prior to concluding the credit contract, the order which has been approved by Inbank for financing receives status Inbank: credit granted. In this state the order awaits the merchant's approval or cancellation. If the merchant approves the contract, the order receives status Inbank: purchase financed. Contracts are approved and canceled through the Inbank Partner Portal.
