ECOMMPAY-powered payments will provide businesses on the Telegram app with access to new sales channels, which will bolster their revenue and improve audience engagement.
Launched in 2012, ECOMMPAY has a global presence with six international offices in Asia, Europe, Africa, Russia and the UK.
ECOMMPAY provides businesses with over 100 payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, through a single integration.
It also offers 24×7 payment processing, tailored payment solutions, fraud protection and customer support.
ECOMMPAY executive director Paul Marcantonio said: “There is rarely an ‘off the shelf’ solution for companies integrating payments, as every customer is different and there has to be a balance between the merchant’s and the customer’s needs. Seamless transactions and a great user experience are a vitally important part of improving conversion rates in business, and by integrating with Telegram we’ll help more businesses increase their revenues and audience engagement.”
ECOMMPAY is a principal member of Visa and Mastercard, as well as the first PSP on the PayPal Commerce Platform.
It is also a member of Visa Direct, and the first acquirer to implement a Mastercard Dashboard.
Last month, ECOMMPAY launched its new open banking payment system for businesses in the UK.
