Payson has announced it will fully shut down its payment services by August 31, 2025. This includes all ecommerce integrations, Swish support, and WooCommerce plugins. Merchants using Payson will need to switch to a new provider. In this article, we explore the impact and your best alternatives for Payson—plus how to make the switch seamlessly.
Swedish payment provider Payson has announced that it will officially discontinue all its payment services by August 31, 2025. This update affects all existing integrations, including plugins for Swish payments and popular e-commerce platforms such as WooCommerce. Payson users will still be able to log in to access payout information and manage reconciliations until January 31, 2026; however, no new transactions will be processed after August 31.
For many ecommerce businesses in Sweden and beyond, this news may come as a surprise—especially for long-time Payson users who relied on its simplicity and Swish add-ons. All Swish-related contracts and add-ons will end even earlier, on June 30, 2025, with a two-month notice period in place. If you’re still using a Payson plugin for WooCommerce, it’s important to plan your transition now to avoid interruptions in your checkout process.
The good news? There are several solid alternatives for Payson that are easy to integrate and already well-known in the Nordic market. Providers like Mollie, AltaPay, Nets, and SVEA all offer modern checkout solutions with broad support for Swedish payment methods, including Swish, card payments, and BNPL options. Many of them also offer ready-made e-commerce plugins for platforms such as WooCommerce, Shopify, and Magento. You don’t have to rebuild your webshop—just switch the pipes under the hood.
