Wero is a pan-European digital wallet initiative developed by EPI (European Payments Initiative), designed to provide a unified, secure, and instant payment experience across participating EU countries. Built on SEPA Instant Credit Transfer (SCT Inst) rails, Wero aims to be a direct competitor to other mobile wallets and promote cross-border, real-time payments in the euro area.
With a focus on both online and in-store use cases, Wero allows users to send and receive money instantly enhancing convenience while maintaining compliance with European regulatory standards.

Reverse payment
If a payment needs to be voided before settlement, you can initiate a reversal using the Reverse payment endpoint.
Only unsettled Wero payments can be reversed.
Capture payment
If the payment was initiated with a manual capture flow (captureMethod.type=MANUAL), you must explicitly capture the authorized amount using the Capture payment endpoint.
If the initial transaction did not include the MANUAL capture method, the payment will be auto-captured by default.
