PrestaShop and Brink’s Checkout Announce a New Partnership
Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 19, 2015 -- PrestaShop, an industry leader in open source solutions for ecommerce, and Brink’s Checkout, a secure payments provider, are partnering to help e-retailers sell securely to international and domestic markets.
“We are thrilled to offer Brink’s Checkout to our clients. No other company has the trust and security that Brink’s has. Brink’s Checkout’s ability to work with merchants from 197 countries definitely meets our clients’ needs,” said Gregoire Veron, PrestaShop’s Head of Partnerships. This means that PrestaShop’s clients will be able to start accepting payments online in as little as two days using Brink’s Checkout.
“Brink’s Checkout is growing in popularity and this partnership with PrestaShop is an important accelerator for us,” said Nasser Chanda, President of Brink’s Global Payments, a Brink’s Company subsidiary. “We are pairing PrestaShop’s world-class online storefront with our premier payment processing service, making selling online accessible like never before.”
Online spending is set to rise dramatically. According to Forrester Research, online sales in the U.S. alone are projected to increase from $294 billion in 2014 to $414 billion in 2018. Global e-commerce will more than keep pace with that figure.
Worldwide, more than 200,000 e-retailers have access to PrestaShop’s rich e-commerce storefront solution. This solution features the option to use multiple currencies and the related tax rates, flexible local logistics, and the ability to translate a site into 65 languages, making it easier than ever to reach buyers worldwide.
This fits perfectly with Brink’s Checkout’s features. Brink’s works with merchants in 197 countries, allowing them to sell in multiple currencies and languages. In addition, Brink’s offers robust fraud protection, leveraging 300 variables to detect suspicious activity. To avoid false positives, no red-flagged transaction is automatically declined. Each of these transactions is reviewed by a fraud specialist.
A Secure, All-in-One International Payment Solution
The Brink’s name is associated with security, trust, cash, heritage and peace-of-mind. Brink’s has a long history in providing exceptional service worldwide. Brink’s Checkout is the company’s online, all-in-one solution for e-commerce payments.
Using Brink’s Checkout, international sales become streamlined. Users can choose from 26 currencies and 15 languages. E-retailers can utilize a dynamic checkout interface that adapts to the customer’s device, or they can opt for the simplicity of a ‘Buy Now’ button on their existing website. The checkout is simple and easy-to-navigate for both customers and merchants.
Brink’s Checkout also sets a high standard when it comes to transaction security. The checkout service is Level-1 PCI compliant – the best in the industry. And rather than just relying on CCV numbers, Brink’s Checkout employs a 3-tier, 300-variable fraud prevention system to keep transactions safe.
Finally, the Brink’s commitment to simple transactions extends to their pricing system. Merchants are charged a rate starting as low as 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction. Bulk retailers that sell more than $50,000 per month may be eligible for a volume discount. Subscription-based sales can use the Brink’s Checkout monthly subscription payment system.
