# Boncard
Boncard payments can be processed with Saferpay without much effort. This chapter describes what needs to be considered in this regard.
## General requirements
The handling of Boncard payments with Saferpay requires:
* A [corresponding license ](https://docs.saferpay.com/home/master/licensing)and thus a valid identification with a username and password for the Saferpay system.
* Availability of at least one active Saferpay terminal via which payment can be carried out, and availability of the associated Saferpay TerminalId.
* A valid contract with Boncard
* A corresponding Boncard TerminalId, UserId and Password
{% hint style="info" %}
Please [contact Boncard directly](https://boncard.ch/kontakt), in order to get your contract and credentials.
{% endhint %}
### Technical requirements
The general integration of Boncard can only be done via the [Payment Page](https://docs.saferpay.com/home/integration-guide/licences-and-interfaces/payment-page) and requires the following things to be noted:
* Spec-Version 1.10, or higher.
* **Important:** Boncard has been backported to SpecVersions 1.10 - 1.47. When implementing Boncard for Spec-Versions lower than 1.48, please make sure, that your implementation is capable of processing the new values, returned by the Saferpay API, e.g. **`PaymentMethods`** now returning **`BONCARD`** as a value, which was previously not specified.
Furthermore, for other flows (Refunds etc.), please also refer to the table below.

### Supported Brands
One special aspect of Boncard is its division into multiple sub-brands. While most Payment Methods have one way to pay, Boncard is split into multiple giftcard brands.
As of now, Saferpay supports the following brands:
* boncard Pay
* Galenicare
Saferpay will process all of these brands under the Boncard umbrella.

Is a certain brand not listed? [Please contact](https://docs.saferpay.com/home/integration-guide/support) us about the possibility of adding it to the list.
{% endhint %}
## Activation
Once you have received your Boncard contract and credentials, you have to enter these details inside the Saferpay Backoffice. Please follow the following steps for Boncard activation:
1.) Navigate to [Settings > Payment Means / Terminals](https://docs.saferpay.com/home/interfaces/backoffice/settings#payment-means-terminals)
2.) Select the desired terminal, where you want to activate Boncard on, from the dropdown.
3.) Scroll down to **`Self Service`**, until you see **`Boncard.`**
{% hint style="info" %}
On the test-environment, you will see two options, one of which being the Boncard Simulator. For testing, it is recommended to use that option, instead of the normal one.
{% endhint %}
4.) Click on the **`Configure`** button to the right.
5.) Please enter the credentials you have gotten from Boncard into the following window and select the [Boncard brands](#supported-brands) you want to support. Afterwards, click on **`Save`**, to save your configuration.
{% hint style="info" %}
For the Saferpay Boncard simulator, you can enter any value. It is just necessary, that the fields are not empty.
{% endhint %}
6.) Lastly, you must turn on Boncard, by flipping the following switch and confirm the activation:
7.) All done. Boncard is now activated on your account.
## Testing
After activating the Boncard simulator, you'll have access to our Boncard test cards, which [you'll find here](https://docs.saferpay.com/home/testing-and-go-live#boncard).
