Setting up the connection to the bank account (EBICS)

In order for transactions to be pulled from your bank account to update QR-Bills in WooCommerce, the following requirements must be met:

  1. QR-IBAN available for the bank account and entered under “QR-Bill > Settings”. If no QR-IBAN is available, it can be requested from the bank.
  2. EBICS access for the bank account available (see below).
  3. Access to mame API (valid license required).

 

1. Access to the API of mame

You will find the access credentials for the mame API shortly after purchasing the plugin in your account at mamedev.ch under “API credentials”.

A valid plugin license is required to use the API.

 

2. EBICS access

Contact your bank to set up EBICS access. The following points are important:

  • For EBICS access, mame software development hüttig must be specified as the data recipient and authorization must be granted in order to retrieve bookings. Contact your bank directly about this and you will receive a corresponding form.
  • The file format of credit advices must be in camt.054 and they must be delivered at least daily.
  • After the power of attorney has been granted, the service can be activated in the mame App (see below).

 

3. API setup

The information for the mame API, which can be found in your mamedev.ch account, can be entered in the WordPress backend under “QR-Bill > Settings > API settings”. Then click on “Connect” to establish a connection.

Then log in to your mame app (https://mamedev.app) account and go to “Profile” to find the Webhook Key. Copy this and enter it in the plugin settings.

 

4. Activating the service

As soon as you have received the credentials for the mame API and for EBICS access, you can log in to the mame App at mamedev.app.

You can find the username and password for the app in your account at mamedev.ch.

After logging in, the “QR-Bill EBICS Integration” service can be added under Services.

In the first step, the information for the shop to which the bank account is to be linked is required.

The IBAN, not the QR-IBAN, must be entered in the “Bank account IBAN” field.

The Notification URL is the URL for the JSON REST API of the WordPress site. Usually this is made up of the page URL and the ending “/wp-json”.

In the second step, a payment method must be specified.

After clicking on “Subscribe to service” the setup is complete. The service can be edited under “Services” and additional stores can be added.

 

5. Settings in the WordPress backend

After the service has been added, the store must be added to the plugin settings in the WordPress backend.

To do this, go to the “QR-bill > Settings” page and click on “Synchronize” under “EBICS > Store ID”. After that you can select the store and save the settings.

If the synchronization fails, the API connection has not yet been set up correctly. Enter the appropriate data under API settings and click “Connect” after saving.
