“We are thrilled to earn this recognition for payments innovation in digital commerce and mobile messaging,” said Pieter de Villiers, CEO and Co-Founder at Clickatell. “Our legacy and leadership in payments and mobile messaging are based on the needs of our customers. We are only as successful as our customers are.”
Clickatell’s Chat 2 Pay feature is a digital payment enabler – creating a new channel for businesses to request payments. Chat 2 Pay makes it possible for brands to improve their customer service and to extend their digital commerce offering by providing an effortless, convenient and secure way to make payments within mobile messaging channels such as SMS and WhatsApp.
Chat 2 Pay takes Clickatell’s decades of developing Chat Commerce solutions for global customers and delivers a simple and comprehensive way for merchants to offer payments and transactions to consumers in mobile messaging. Chat 2 Pay enables merchants to securely accept payments in mobile messaging by sending consumers a payment link via SMS or WhatsApp. In its design of Chat 2 Pay, Clickatell efficiently has orchestrated the complex relationship between mobile messaging, payments or the order management system (OMS) of their customers, and in the process mitigates the risk of merchants managing payment card details.
There are a lot of payment solutions and products on the market and the big differentiator of Chat 2 Pay is that Clickatell orchestrates the process between the mobile messaging channel, the payment gateway and the OMS. It’s a very easy functionality for a merchant to “switch on” and manage. The feature is part of the Clickatell Platform, and is easy to use, convenient and quick to implement for businesses.
