How cash increases revenue for e-merchants

Many talk of the demise of cash, which weighs down pockets and purses, but the fatal prognosis for liquid currency has turned out to be false. As witnessed with the paperless office, visionaries are being proven wrong by counter currents and fickle, rebellious consumers. Whereas general opinion predicted the crash of cash and the rise of mobile payment and cryptocurrency, the trend appears to be flattening out. Certain segments of the consumer public indeed prefer cash. According to estimates by the European Central Bank (BCE), nearly 80% of people prefer fumbling with cash and make their purchases in physical stores. But why isn’t this payment option available for online purchasing?

Limonetik, a payment service aggregator, works with Paysafe Group, one of the world’s leading end-to-end payment providers, by incorporating the latter’s payment solutions paysafecard and Paysafecash. Offering Paysafe to its local and international customers (PSPs, acquirers, major merchant sites, and marketplaces), Limonetik complements its portfolio with payment solutions that respond effectively and seamlessly to the requirements and practices of a global trend.

paysafecard, online payment for everybody

Founded in 2000 and based in Austria, paysafecard now operates in nearly 50 countries. Boasting more than 120 million transactions in 2017, paysafecard’s online prepaid payment method not only satisfies demands for security and anonymity, but also addresses consumers without a bank account or credit card. paysafecard allows customers to make purchases without having to provide the merchant with sensitive, personal information such as bank or credit card details. It was designed for merchants in online gaming and entertainment.

paysafecard is a practical solution for consumers worried about their anonymity and data security: they merely need to obtain a paysafecard PIN at one of the 600,000 points of sale (eg supermarkets, kiosks, or petrol stations) or online.

Paysafecash – buy online, pay offline

Paysafecash, a barcode-based cash payment solution developed by paysafecard, empowers ecommerce merchants in retail, ticketing, and travel to accept cash payments. The innovative payment option is designed to meet consumer needs following the growth of cash-based payments on the internet. Paysafecash allows underbanked and cash customers to enter the ecommerce environment and supports security seekers as well.

Paysafecash is free for consumers and easy to use:

Generate barcode
The customer selects “Paysafecash” in the online shop as the preferred payment method, loads the generated QR/barcode to his wallet, sends it to his mobile phone or prints it out.

Find payment point
Using the search function, the customer finds the nearest Paysafecash payment point.

Scan & pay
The customer has the QR/barcode scanned by sales staff in a payment point (eg a petrol station or corner shop) and pays the amount due. The online shop processes the order directly after payment.

Simple and safe for consumers, a generator of new incremental revenue for e-merchants, by enabling cash based customers

In an increasingly international market of ecommerce, systems for securing remote transactions are improving. paysafecard and Paysafecash are two such new-generation payment solutions.

Udo Müller, CEO of paysafecard, appreciates the cooperation with Limonetik: ‘We are delighted to be working with the award-winning fintech company Limonetik with immediate effect. The integration of our payment solutions into the Full Service on Demand platform in France, one of our most important core markets, represents a great added value for us and supports our business strategy of strong and sustainable partnerships on the global, digital marketplace.’

For e-merchants, paysafecard and Paysafecash open up access to complete new target groups of security seekers and underbanked people and thereby optimise their conversion rate. Paysafe products are anti-fraud solutions that provide 100% guarantee of payment, reduce risk, and thereby relieve finance departments from the burden of chargeback procedures.
