international payment processing
International and US payment processors understand that additional payment options at checkout result in more orders for merchants using the processing platform. The more ways customers have to pay, the more sales are made. The US ecommerce market will hit $434 billion in sales within the next 2 years.  Merchants throughout the world want access to US buyers.  And depend upon their payment processors to help acquire more orders from US customers. How can processors drive more transaction volume while helping their merchants get more sales? By providing the payment options preferred by US buyers. Echecks are second only to cards as the preferred method of payment by US consumers. Over 30% of internet purchases are made with alternative payments such as echecks. In addition, echecks have substantially lower risk of fraud than cards.

Benefits of ECheck Payments

  • Obtain orders from buyers that don't have cards or are maxed out on cards.
  • Get sales from buyers that prefer to pay with an electronic check rather than a card

eChecks on the Checkout Page
