Why would I integrate my system(s) with payment platforms?
Integrating your internal systems, whether it be your CRM, Inventory or WFM systems with a payment platform can provide a number of benefits to your company. Here are some of the most popular reasons businesses choose to do so.
-
Streamlined Payment Process - By integrating with a payment platform, you can streamline the payment process for your customers. This means they can easily make payments without having to leave your platform or go through a separate payment gateway, resulting in a smoother user experience and more time on your platform.
-
Increased Conversion Rates - Simplifying the payment process often leads to higher conversion rates. It is a no-brainer that when customers find it easy to complete their transactions, they are more likely to follow through with their purchases.
- Multiple Payment Options - Payment platforms often support various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, digital wallets and alternative payment methods such as Paypal or Stripe. This in turn caters to a wider range of preferences ultimately increasing the likelihood of completing a purchase.
-
Security & Compliance - Payment platforms generally have robust security measures in place (after all, who would use them otherwise!) and adhere to strict standards and compliance regulations. By integrating with a reputable payment platform, you can ensure that your customers payment information is secure and that your business remains compliant with relevant regulations.
-
Analytics - The most widely used payment platforms such as Paypal and Stripe provide analytics and reporting tools that offer valuable insights into your customers payment behavior, transaction trends, and revenue performance. By integrating with such a platform, you can gain valuable data that can be used to make informed decisions and improve the payment process where necessary.
