# Payment method codes

> An overview of the WEBSALE V8s payment method codes: which number stands for which payment method, which codes are no longer assigned, and where the codes appear.

WEBSALE V8s keeps each payment method under a fixed number, the payment method code. You encounter it in the order data, in the interface to the merchandise management system, and wherever a tag or a configuration needs to address a payment method.

The codes are the same across all shops. Which payment methods your shop offers, on the other hand, is defined in the `shop.config`.

## The codes

> [!NOTE]
>
> Codes 50, 51, and 52 aren't listed in the previous documentation and have been added here. Code 43 was listed there as no longer used; it is actually assigned to giropay via PayPal Checkout. Conversely, code 8 was listed as "Geldkarte" even though it is no longer assigned. Codes 24 and 30 were listed as no longer used; they are assigned to ClickAndBuy and PayU.

## Unassigned and discontinued codes

A code isn't reassigned after a payment method is dropped. That is why there are gaps.

| Code | Background |
| - | - |
| 2, 7, 8, 27 | not assigned. The payment methods formerly behind them no longer exist |
| 15 | reserved and never put into operation |
| 24 | ClickAndBuy. The service was discontinued, but the code remains assigned |
| 30 | PayU. No longer intended for new shops |

> [!WARNING]
>
> If you analyze order data from older years, you may find codes that are no longer assigned today. So treat unknown codes as unknown in your analysis instead of rejecting them.

## Special considerations for PayPal Checkout

Twelve of the codes belong to PayPal Checkout. It's worth taking a closer look here, because several payment methods appear under two different codes, depending on how they're integrated.

| Payment method | Direct or via Computop | Via PayPal Checkout |
| - | - | - |
| PayPal | 12 | 37 |
| iDEAL | 13 | 44 |
| SOFORT, Sofortüberweisung | 14 | 47 |
| Apple Pay | 32 | 49 |
| Google Pay | 33 | 48 |
| Invoice with Billie | 39 | 51, via Klarna |

For your analysis, this means: if you want to know how often customers paid with PayPal, querying a single code isn't enough.
