Both users of Worldline, the global payments service provider, and Wix, the SaaS website builder, will receive a variety of benefits from a new partnership announced between the two companies.
As a result of the new collaboration, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using Worldline will be able to create, manage and grow their online presence. Specifically, they will be able to use features which can support various aspects of operations, including product catalogue management, order fulfilment, inventory and invoice management, marketing tools, bookings management, and more. In turn, this will help them increase revenues.
“This partnership combines Wix’s advanced capabilities for e-commerce with Worldline’s renowned local payment processing services and distribution networks,” said Anthony Scaglione, EVP, global sales and partnerships at Wix.
“Millions of Worldline and Wix SMEs worldwide will have access to this new integrated commerce and payments solution. Merchants will be empowered to build the online store they envision with the features they want while accepting local card schemes and payment solutions, benefitting from competitive transaction fees, and ultimately, increasing GPV and revenue potential.”
Supporting local payments
Meanwhile, Wix users will be able to access Worldline’s local payments and banking solutions to better meet customer expectations. They will be able to support local card schemes which will help them process transactions with customers’ preferred payment methods – whether via credit, digital wallet or another payment method.
This is the first component of a collaborative and strategic initiative between the two companies and will be available on a rolling basis in various countries throughout Europe and Asia Pacific.
“Today’s businesses need comprehensive payment solutions that go beyond in-store transactions to drive growth and enhance customer engagement in the digital space,” said Marija Nakevska, chief product officer at Worldline Merchant Services. “Wix’s all-in-one approach to eCommerce across every SME industry was exactly what we looked for in a partner. Wix’s business management and commerce tools empower business owners to customise their online presence for success.
“Now, with the addition of Worldline’s advanced, localised online payment and acceptance solutions, businesses can further streamline their payment processes and better serve their customers that support domestic card schemes around the world, creating a more frictionless experience for merchants and their customers.”
