Setting industry standards for transparency and trust
Payforit offers the most transparent and trusted means for mobile phone users to pay for a product or service and charge this to their mobile bill. Not only has 2ergo been instrumental in pioneering Payforit, we are one of a handful of trusted parties, known as ‘Accredited Payment Intermediaries’ able to offer this service.
The Payforit scheme was developed through a UK cross-mobile network operator initiative to optimise the consumer experience for both single and subscription based mobile purchases – providing an alternative to consumers receiving multiple premium SMS messages.
From your mobile site consumers will simply click ‘Pay Now’. After checking they have sufficient credit, Payforit simply debits the account before returning the consumer back to your service.
Through our structured approach to launching new services, we will guide you step-by-step through the process, enabling you to seamlessly launch or migrate your systems across, with minimal involvement from your technical team, investment and disruption to your service.
Note: This product is available for use in the UK.
Enhanced customer experience
Payforit helps you to create a seamless purchase and payment experience, avoiding the need to send any premium SMS messages for billing. Enabling your customers to return back to your mobile portal, allowing them to continue browsing and ultimately make further purchases.
Increased brand reputation
The Payforit logo, along with its association with the network operators will help to encourage consumer confidence in your service and ultimately your brand.
Flexible pricing at reduced cost
Payforit offers greater pricing flexibility than premium SMS and offers merchants cost savings as shortcodes are not required for billing.
Reduced customer care issues
Improved transparency in pricing at the point of payment along with payment confirmation pages will result in fewer customer care queries, thus reducing the resource requirements of a customer care team and improving the customer experience.
E-billing via the Internet
Payforit provides a safe and trustworthy environment where mobile phone users may purchase goods and services from the mobile internet and charge them to their mobile phone account. It is a safe, transparent and unified approach to mobile purchasing.
WAP and Internet compliant
We have integrated Payforit functionality into our widely respected Multiserve Platform. You can collect subscription sign-ups, payment approvals and reporting on traffic and success. The entire technical process is compliant with both WAP and traditional internet environments.
Accredited Payment Intermediaries
Under the Payforit scheme mobile billing requests are not handled by individual mobile service providers, but by a trusted party known as an ‘Accredited Payment Intermediary’. 2ergo is one of a select number of Intermediaries.
Branded pages
Your logo can appear on the Payforit branded payment pages during the payment process.
Unique identification
You can use Payforit to collect marketing opt-ins, and once a user is identified within the system it will provide abstracted identification or a history of previous purchases.
