Get started

Learn how to manually configure Swish as a payment method.

You don’t have to integrate Swish and other payment methods individually. If you use our front-end products, Stripe automatically determines the most relevant payment methods to display. Go to the Stripe Dashboard and enable Swish. To get started with one of our hosted UIs, follow a quickstart:

  • Checkout: Our prebuilt, hosted checkout page.
  • Elements: Our drop-in UI components.

Other payment products

The following Stripe products also let you add Swish from the Dashboard:

Merchant of record

For Swish payments, Stripe operates as the merchant of record. Therefore, Stripe’s name appears as the recipient of payments in the Swish app and as the statement descriptor in the customer’s bank statements. Your business name appears in the message field in the Swish app. The factoring addendum in the Swish terms applies.

Prohibited business categories

In addition to the industry and business categories listed in Prohibited and Restricted Businesses, the following categories aren’t allowed to use Swish:

  • Precious stones and metals, watches and jewelry
  • Digital wallet top-ups

For more information about Swish eligibility for your account, go to your Payment methods settings.

Refunds
