Internet acquiring and omni-channel payment platforms
1. Internet-acquiring and omni-channel
payment platforms
When we are talking about an omni-channel payment platform (http://unipaygateway.com/), we mean that the
platform provides a wide variety of services, related to processing of different kinds of payments. Omni-
channel payment processing systems are most suitable for merchants, who both have online presence and
accept payments through physical outlets.
An online business, trying to get a merchant account (http://paymentterms.org/glossary/merchant-account/) or
a merchant, working only in e-commerce industry, does not necessarily have to look for potential processing
partners only among omni-channel systems. True, omni-channel processing means broad functionality, but
does an online merchant really need all the functions, offered by an omni-channel payment processing
platform? Do online companies have to pay for a bunch of advanced, but often unnecessary and costly
functions, targeted at those who work in omni-channel commerce and not in e-commerce only?
Sometimes, the best choice of a processing partner for an online business in search of a merchant account (or
for an online merchant in search of a processing partner) is a payment processing platform, specializing on
internet acquiring. The concept “internet acquiring” means providing merchant accounts to online companies.
In a broader sense the term includes payment processing services, intended for online merchants.
