Business Wire
Ingenico Group (Euronext: FR0000125346 - ING), the global leader
in seamless payment, today announced that it has signed an
agreement to provide global, full-service payment processing to
Scalefast, a fast-growing eCommerce platform provider for the video
game and entertainment industries, leveraging its eCommerce and
cloud-based mobile point of sale (mPOS) solutions. This
comprehensive partnership will enable Scalefast to provide its
customers with an integrated, multi-channel payment solution that
allows them to accept payments both in-store and online.
Ingenico ePayments, the online and mobile commerce division of
Ingenico Group, will provide Scalefast with support for all major
credit cards, alternative payment methods and value added services
in a full-service, multi-acquirer model. Additionally, Ingenico
Mobile Solutions, Ingenico Group’s mPOS division, will provide the
company with next generation RP750x mobile card readers to allow
its customers to accept card-present payments on mobile devices,
regardless of location, including trade shows and events.
“For our customers, being able to provide a seamless
eCommerce experience is critical, and as many of them begin to
expand their business to accept offline payments, either in-store
or at an event, that experience needs to be able to move with
them,” said Nicolas Stehle, CEO at Scalefast. “Ingenico
Group allows us to offer a seamless multi-channel solution to our
customers, making it easy for them to move their eCommerce
businesses into the physical world using the mobile devices already
in their pockets.”
Scalefast is the only direct-to-consumer eCommerce solution that
helps entertainers and their fans join forces through engaging
shopping experiences. Having a robust payment partner allows
Scalefast to not only sell across the globe, but also create new
revenue streams for its clients with digital and physical products
sales in-game, online and in-person. Ingenico Group is a key value
chain partner for Scalefast, as they offer commerce technology,
intelligence and logistics for team-play across the gaming and
entertainment ecosystem.
The company selected Ingenico Group due to its global,
multi-channel capabilities and its experience in helping merchants
and solution providers move from online payments to in-store
payments. Scalefast was impressed with Ingenico Group’s deep
expertise in the video game and retail industries, as well as its
ability to provide multiple acquirer connections and advanced
conversion optimization tools and services. These include Ingenico
Connect, which enables easy integration to the Ingenico ePayments
platform, and a range of checkout optimization tools, such as the
Elevate Business Intelligence solution. Scalefast selected Ingenico
Group’s RP750x card reader because of its ability to accept a
variety of payment options, including EMV chip & PIN and
magstripe transactions as well as the flexibility to connect to
Android and iOS devices through Bluetooth™ or audio jack.
“Scalefast provides a unique solution to companies that wish
to leverage the potential of online selling, without the cost and
risks involved with creating a full eCommerce infrastructure,”
said Pierre-Antoine Vacheron, executive vice president of Ingenico
ePayments. “By working with Ingenico Group, Scalefast is able to
offer its customers a multi-channel solution that encompasses a
seamless, global eCommerce payment acceptance solution and mobile
card readers that allow them to accept payment virtually anywhere,
