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.
Please note, that only full refunds are possible through the app.
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:

Adding a new Inbank payment method to the app configuration is a simple two-step process.
On step 1 you need to set the keys and product code required for the functioning of the app and the mode in which this payment product is to be available: live or test.
Inbank representatives will provide you all the data required for this step. Make sure to fill in all the fields correctly, as they are essential to the configuration of Inbank payment products.
On step 2 you can review your configuration and set a couple additional options available in the app.
To start adding a new Inbank payment product, click Add product at Settings > Payments > Inbank > Manage > Manage.
Configuration settings are similar for all payment products: Inbank Hire Purchase Estonia, Split into parts Estonia, Pay next month Estonia, Inbank Hire Purchase Poland, Inbank Hire Purchase Czechia, Inbank Hire Purchase Latvia and Split into parts Latvia.
The product code set during configuration defines the credit conditions available to customers and also automatically sets the following parameters:

Step 1 includes the essential parameters needed for the payment option setup. Inbank representatives will provide you all the information needed at this step.

Information related to product page calculations can be found at Settings > Payments > Inbank > Manage > Manage > Theme integration.
If your store theme supports Online Store 2.0, then Inbank calculations are automatically available with the Pay Later Platform in the theme editor on the product page. By default, calculations are enabled in the Inbank settings and just need to be added to the store theme.
If your store theme does not support Online Store 2.0, you can add the Inbank calculations manually using the code provided on the Theme integration page.
The Inbank Calculator block needs to be added in the theme of the product pages at Online Store > Themes > Customize > Products.
Inbank provides a dedicated staging environment for testing the integration with payment solutions. For testing purposes, you need to specify several parameters in the payment method settings at Add product at Settings > Payments > Inbank > Manage > Manage.
When adding a new payment option you need to:
- Use the Test mode
- Specify the Api key provided for the test environment
- Specify the Shop uuid provided for the test environment

The credit application process may include an OTP code exchange via SMS. The demo environments do not send out SMS messages. If you are testing Pay next month or Split into parts payment products, the SMS message is hardcoded to value 0000.
Testing Inbank Payments Estonia products
To test the financing products in Estonia, you can safely use your own Estonian ID-code and ID-card, as the demo environment does not initiate real binding contracts. Alternatively, you can use our demo user, the identity code of which is 10101010005. Besides the identity code, you will also need a name and a phone number for authentication and signing.
To use an ID-card in the demo environment, you need to register it at:
- ID-card - https://demo.sk.ee/upload_cert/.
You can also use Smart-ID by downloading the following apps:
- Android: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.stagnationlab.sk.
- iOS: https://testflight.apple.com/join/DoWddZjR.
To use Smart-ID for testing, your account level should be Qualified. You can check the account level at https://sid.demo.sk.ee/portal/login.
There are a couple of things which can be updated in the Pay Later Platform:
App updates. Your store always automatically has the latest version of the Pay Later Platform, so no need to bother about any app updates.
API data updates. After you set a product code for an Inbank payment method, the app retrieves product related parameters via API from Inbank. Inbank can make changes to these data and the changes need to be synchronized with the settings of the app. Of course, you do not need to keep track of the updates, the Pay Later Platform has a daily check for updates and applies them to your store.
Configuration parameters which can receive updates:
- Title
- Maximum order amount
- Minimum order amount
- Period
- Additional details
Product settings updates. The payment product which is offered to customers depends on the product code set for the payment method. If at any point you need to change the product code or any other product configuration, this can be easily done through the app settings at Settings > Payments > Inbank > Manage > Manage.
To update the settings for the Pay Later Platform, click Edit next to the payment method you wish to change, make the required configuration changes and click Save.
That is it. Your product settings are now updated.
This section showcases how Inbank payment methods work in the store.
Note that the following screenshots are only demonstrational. The actual way the Inbank payment methods appear in your Shopify store depends on the storefront theme, Inbank settings, the Inbank branch with which you have concluded the contract and the locale of your store.
- If enabled and added to your theme, calculations for Inbank payment options appear on product pages.
- Inbank appears at checkout as an available payment method:
- Once customers choose Inbank as their payment method and click Complete order, they are redirected to the Inbank environment where they first choose the preferred Inbank payment product and then 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 payment success page. Otherwise, the customer will be redirected back to the cart.
Payment transactions can be viewed in the Orders section of the admin panel.
Orders which have been successfully financed by Inbank receive the payment status Paid.
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 can fall into one of the two following scenarios:
If payments are collected manually, the status will be set to Authorized and this is a signal that payments can be manually collected before the authorization period expires. By starting the capture process from the admin panel in this case the partner approves the contract. If the partner does not want to approve the contract, the order needs to be canceled, which also cancels the Inbank contract.
If the payments are collected automatically, the status will be set to Pending and the contract needs to be confirmed through the Inbank Partner Portal. After the approval, the status will be set to Paid.
