Card Payments via Redirect
The classic, secure way to accept card payments through Redsys.
What is card redirect?
Redirect is the standard method for accepting card payments through Redsys. When customers click Pay, they are securely redirected to the bank's own payment page — hosted by Redsys — where they enter their card details and authenticate via 3D Secure. After payment, they return to your store with confirmation.
How does it work?
- Customer clicks Pay at checkout.
- Browser redirects to the Redsys secure payment page (bank-hosted).
- Customer enters card number, expiry, and CVV.
- 3D Secure authentication (biometric, SMS code, or app confirmation).
- Customer returns to your store with the order confirmed.
