deal united and PAY.ON AG cooperate to market their payment services internationally. In cooperating, both companies optimise their services and manifest their global coverage.

PAY.BY.SHOPPING is now connected to the PAY.ON gateway PayPipe and fully integrated into the platform PaySourcing. The two systems enable payment providers like PSPs through a single interface global online payment processing as well as access to the biggest network of connectors and payment schemes worldwide. For deal united, this cooperation offers great potential to find new business partners and the opportunity to promote their product extensively. By connecting the international payment method PAY.BY.SHOPPING, PAY.ON extends its services with a further payment scheme for payment providers worldwide.

Markus Wiedemann, Head of Sales Europe at deal united, says: “We are very lucky to have won the perfect technical partner for our national and international expansion. With PAY.ON, PAY.BY.SHOPPING can be integrated by merchants much faster and easier. We offer merchants an alternative payment method, which considerably increases conversion rates.”

For PAY.ON, Nikolaus von Taysen, member of the executive committee, comments: “We are happy to have deal united on board. We support our cooperation partners in their global market penetration and enable them access to international payment providers, whom they can then employ as resellers of their payment method. With PAY.BY.SHOPPING we add yet another intelligent and extraordinary payment scheme to our portfolio. The concept is easy to understand and an excellent alternative to conventional payment options. We look forward to a successful cooperation.”

With PAY.BY.SHOPPING deal united has discovered a need which opens up new potential for more growth worldwide. We want to use the financing round to invest in new staff to handle the rising demand for our alternative payment method.”

Christian Winter, CEO of Tengelmann E-Commerce Beteiligungs GmbH is convinced of the PAY.BY.SHOPPING concept. “That, what distinguishes deal united is the ability to offer an added value payment method for all parties participating.
