Accepted Payment Methods

We accept the following payment methods for all services:

  • Credit card — Visa, Mastercard, American Express

  • Bank transfer — Swiss and international transfers (IBAN/SWIFT)

All fees are quoted in Swiss Francs (CHF). For international clients, currency conversion rates are determined by your bank at the time of transfer.


Deposit & Payment Schedule

Project Deposits

Most projects require a 50% deposit before work begins. This deposit is applied to your final invoice upon project completion. Once work begins, the deposit becomes non-refundable and is applied to work already completed.

Retainer Payments

Monthly retainers are billed in advance at the start of each billing cycle. All implementation projects include a mandatory 3-month optimization retainer to ensure system stabilization and measurable results.

Unused retainer hours do not roll over to the following month unless otherwise specified in your agreement (maximum 25% rollover where applicable).


Refund Policy
