Types of genuine Paytrail messages

Payment confirmation emails

Paytrail sends payment confirmation emails when a payment has been made through a business that uses Paytrail for online payments on their website or app. A confirmation email is only sent if the online store provided your email address with the payment details sent to Paytrail.

Payment link messages

These messages are created by an online business using Paytrail’s service and contain a secure link for completing your payment. Always use the provided link to pay.

Do not copy the payment details or make a manual bank transfer. The payment will not be linked to your order.

Refund emails

Paytrail may send refund emails when we cannot return the funds to the original payment method, usually due to technical limitations in certain online banks.

  • Do not reply to the message.
