Acquired.com, the UK payments specialist and payment initiation service provider, has launched an all-in-one Hosted Checkout solution in order “to equip merchants with the ability to offer all major payment methods, including Open Banking payments, via a single integration.”
Hosted Checkout is “a pre-built, highly customizable and quick to deploy solution that will allow merchants to accept credit and debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay & Open Banking payments through a single integration.”
The solution addresses the financial and operational burdens “faced by merchants undertaking multiple integrations in order to offer different payment methods to their customers.”
Mark Johnson, Commercial Director, Acquired.com, said:
“We believe that our Hosted Checkout solution solves a key challenge for merchants who want to deliver a variety of payment methods for their customers but are reluctant to undertake numerous time-consuming integrations. In particular, the ability to offer Open Banking payments, a payment method that is yet to see widespread use in many sectors, alongside other payment methods and without the need for a separate integration is a game changer for forward-thinking merchants.”
For merchants looking to integrate Apple Pay & Google Pay, Acquired.com’s Hosted Checkout eliminates the need “to create a developer account and submit an application to Apple and Google directly, in addition to streamlining the technical aspect of integration.”
Integrating an Open Banking solution traditionally involves working with a different provider than a business’ card payment processor; with Acquired.com’s Hosted Checkout, merchants can easily “adopt open banking payments through Acquired.com’s own solution.”
Aside from the benefits of a single integration to gain access to all major payment methods, Acquired.com’s Hosted Checkout solution “presents several other benefits.”
The solution has also been built “with easy configuration and customization features, including enabling or disabling different payment methods without any coding.”
The solution also includes “a variety of customizable design features, meaning merchants can align the Hosted Checkout branding and colours to match the look and feel of their website, creating a consistent and memorable brand experience.”
