BlueSnap All-in-one platform streamlines global payments for businesses of all sizes

Boston, MA—August 23, 2018—According to a recent survey conducted by leading independent research and advisory firm Mercator Advisory Group, 3 out of 4 small and medium-sized businesses say they would prefer to deal with a single payments provider. In 2018, 73% of firms said they want to engage with one vendor for payment acceptance services. However, at least one-quarter of these businesses are still engaging with multiple payments vendors, which brings complexity to the process.

 

The reality of today’s business environment is that multiple payment providers actually drain organizational resources by requiring more complex logistics and coordination. Now through a single integration, BlueSnap offers expanding businesses a proven solution to ease the pain points of dealing with several providers that have different systems and processes. Businesses no longer have to rely on several payments vendors to grow their business.

 

BlueSnap has developed All-in-one Payment Platform to save businesses time, money, and developer resources. Through this single-integration solution, BlueSnap provides businesses with:

 

“For the last three years of our business surveys, three-quarters of respondents say that they would rather have a single payments provider. In particular, e-commerce merchants state that they have special payment solutions needs and want to reduce the complexity of dealing with multiple vendors,” said Raymond Pucci, Director of the Merchant Services practice at Mercator. “Additionally, in direct interviews we have conducted, businesses of all sizes across vertical markets express their preference for a single vendor platform.”

 

“We hear from businesses that they constantly need to integrate to different payment solutions to address their growing needs either because their customers want different payment methods or they are expanding internationally,” said Ralph Dangelmaier, CEO of BlueSnap. “As a result, their valuable development resources are spent developing new integrations and managing their payment solution cluster. Also, they spend too much time reconciling different accounts using inconsistent reporting formats and data points. The All-in-one Payment Platform increases sales and reduces costs through one easy integration bringing more value for domestic and global clients.”
