Mercato, Inc. Has launched Z payment, a credit card payment service developed by Zeus, Inc., a payment processing provider within the SBI Group, on its cloud-computing Mercato e-commerce platform. Offering the service helps merchants leverage a payment provider that has been adopted by more than 20,000 sites throughout Japan.
This solution meets the increased demand for a reliable and secure payment infrastructure that is experienced as e-commerce businesses process ever-increasing transaction volumes. When payments are disrupted this can impact sales and customer loyalty, and adopting and integrating a payment provider can be complicated and requires technical expertise and security.
Now, through this partnership, businesses using Mercato will be able to activate Zeus’s credit card payment capability without the need for any further development. This is expected to simplify payment integration for medium-sized and large enterprises.
