ECOMMPAY has announced its merger with Telegram, it will allow users to make in-app purchases via Telegram Bots, powered by ECOMMPAY.
Telegram users will now be able to purchase cinema tickets, utilities, insurance, travel, and many other services, directly within the app thanks to ECOMMPAY.
Making the payment is easy, the user selects a product or service from their Telegram channel bot and clicks the ‘pay’ button. The Telegram bot automatically creates an invoice and enables the shopper to proceed to the checkout form, where the user enters payment card data unless this has been previously saved. Once the payment is completed, the buyer is redirected to the Telegram business channel.
There has been a mass shift towards payment behaviour, accelerated by the pandemic, for example, If a student has an online lesson, a teacher could send an invoice via Telegram Bots, which could then be paid using ECOMMPAY’s integrated payment solution.
Paul Marcantonio, Executive Director of ECOMMPAY, commented: “There’s rarely an ‘off the shelf’ solution for companies integrating payments, as every customer is different and there has to be a balance between the merchant’s and the customer’s needs. Seamless transactions and a great user experience are a vitally important part of improving conversion rates in business, and by integrating with Telegram we’ll help more businesses increase their revenues and audience engagement.”
The company is a principal member of Visa and Mastercard, and a member of Visa Direct and MoneySend, as well as being the first payment provider on the PayPal Commerce Platform and the first acquirer to implement a Mastercard Dashboard.
