What it is
The Iris Payments via EveryPay module integrates IRIS Direct into PrestaShop through the EveryPay payment gateway.
IRIS is the Greek interbank instant payment system, a fast, secure and cost-effective alternative to cards and traditional bank wire transfers. Customers pay directly from their bank account with immediate confirmation, without sharing card details and without the delays of manual bank wire transfers.
IRIS appears as a payment option at PrestaShop checkout, alongside the other payment methods.
What is IRIS Direct?
IRIS Direct is a payment method offered by all major Greek banks that allows instant, verified bank-to-bank transfers. Unlike traditional bank wire payments, IRIS transactions are confirmed in real time, so the merchant receives instant confirmation and can process the order immediately. It is particularly popular with customers who prefer not to use credit or debit cards online.
