“The more payment methods you offer, the greater your conversion will be.”
Many times when we talk to potential clients they tell us that they want to offer more payment methods, they tend to use two or three payment gateways, one for SEPA direct debits, another to receive payments via card and a wallet solution (PayPal type) . This creates an extra complication when managing charges, subscriptions and potential rejections.
Collecting payments shouldn’t be a hassle! Maximize your payment collection offering the right payment mix: your customers will be able to pay their electricity, water, electricity or gas bill through direct debits, card or by combining both; for example a first payment with card and the rest via direct debit on a monthly basis. The most important thing is to be flexible and suit your customer needs which will result in an optimal shopping experience.
“Digital Transformation is driving customer experience”
Digital Transformation is changing the habits and behavior of users in all aspects: when hiring their energy provider, when checking their bills online, managing their charges or analyzing the evolution of their energy consumption, among others aspects.

Another way to be economically efficient and responsible with the environment. SlimPay’s solution will allow you to offer in a single flow both the signing of the contract and the direct debit or card payment.
