Processing Payments & Refunds

This guide explains how payments work at dot2.solutions, including accepted payment methods, deposit requirements, and our refund policy.

Written by Christopher Boerger

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
