Connecting Barion payments

Guide 4 min read Updated: September 8, 2026

How to connect Barion in Bokko with your POSKey, what Bokko verifies during setup, and what the status card means after the connection is created.

You can connect Barion from the Integrations page, inside the Online payments section. Bokko uses this connection for Barion-based online payment flows and verifies your POSKey before it saves the connection.

WarningBarion is connectable on every plan, with no plan restriction. The connection can be set up by the Owner or Manager role.

InfoBarion setup is available for accounts that use Barion-based online payment flows. Bokko verifies the POSKey before saving the connection, and activation controls whether guest checkout uses it.

What you need before you start

Owner or Manager access to the Integrations page.
An existing Barion shop.
The shop’s POSKey, in UUID format.

The POSKey is the unique key of your Barion shop. You can get it in two ways: from the confirmation email sent when the shop was opened, or on the shop’s detail page on the Barion secure site (Shops → Actions → Details), as the Secret key value. Barion generates it when the shop is created and it cannot be changed later. Details in Barion’s official documentation: Barion Shop Authentication.

WarningUse the POSKey of your live Barion shop. Barion's test system (sandbox) has a separate POSKey, and Bokko does not accept it — the connection fails on Barion's side during validation.

Connect Barion

Open Integrations in the dashboard.
In Online payments, click Set up or Switch to another provider.
Choose Barion in the provider picker.
Paste your POSKey.
Click Connect Barion to save the connection.

WarningIf the POSKey format is invalid, Bokko blocks the submission. If the format is valid but Barion does not accept it, Bokko also stops the setup.

What Bokko verifies

Bokko does not blindly save the POSKey. During setup it performs a live verification against Barion. Only a verified POSKey can be stored as a pending Barion connection.

After the connection is created, Bokko can verify it again during activation. If the POSKey is no longer valid, the activation is blocked until you reconnect the Barion account.

What you see after setup

Barion connections appear in the Online payments section with a provider badge and status label. Bokko can show an active connection, pending connections, and a short list of archived connections.

A newly created Barion connection starts as pending until it is activated.
An active Barion connection shows its current status on the card.
Archived connections stay visible in a separate archived section for reference.

Capabilities after activation

After a successful activation, Bokko can enable standard Barion checkout and refund capabilities on the connection. Card-on-file storage, no-show charging, and other off-session charge flows are not available on the Barion path.
