PostFinance Checkout Flex extension from PIT Solutions is a connector between PostFinance Checkout Flex and Odoo Web Shop. It is a standardized way to accept payments via a multitude of different payment providers in the world. It also supports payment gateways such as PostFinancePay, TWINT, Paypal, Online Banking, and Credit/Debit Card. More information can be found under PostFinance Checkout Flex.

The extension connects Odoo Shop users to the payment hub, which has more than 50 payment gateways and processors linked to it. The connector works with the help of the Rest API. This reduces the tendency of customers abandoning their cart when their preferred payment gateway is missing on the payment page. It also connects the user to the different payment service provider APIs, thereby lowering the payment routing costs
