Posted on April 29, 2009McAfee becomes the first to use ClickandBuy to tap into one of world’s fastest growing consumer markets
ClickandBuy expands into Brazil
ClickandBuy, the online payment processing company, today announced that it is to enter the fast-growing Brazilian market. Its 14,000 online retailers are now able to tap into one of the world’s largest and fastest growing consumer markets. Security software company McAfee has become the first to make its products available to Brazilians through ClickandBuy. Consumers will be able to make purchases using Brazil’s popular cash-based Boleto Bancário system. Huge numbers of Brazilians do not have credit cards, which means that unless purchases can be made using cash, online shopping is not possible. By working with Boleto Bancário, ClickandBuy opens up the online shopping experience to the 40% of the Brazilian population who prefer cash-based payment systems. “As internet retailing matures, merchants are increasingly looking to expand into new international markets. Being able to offer local payment methods is vital if they are to win business,” said Charles Frankl, CEO, ClickandBuy. “In Brazil, cash is still king, so by offering payments via Boleto Bancário we are providing our pool of 14,000 merchants with the chance to tap into one of the world’s fastest growing ecommerce markets.” The Boleto Bancário system produces a bank slip when a purchase is made online. The customer takes the slip to the bank and pays for the purchase in cash. ClickandBuy is then informed, allowing the transaction to be completed. Like ClickandBuy, Boleto Bancário has been growing at 100% each year. It now accounts for 20% of the payments made in Brazilian ecommerce. Meanwhile the Brazilian ecommerce market is growing rapidly, with current figures suggesting annual growth rates of 40%. This announcement further strengthens ClickandBuy’s global presence. As well as strong positions in UK, Germany and the rest of Europe, the company is already successful in Mexico. On April 1st it also announced a partnership with CardinalCommerce allowing it to offer its services to North American internet retailers.About ClickandBuy

Posted on March 6, 2009Internet payment system ClickandBuy launches global partnership with the world’s largest specialist in IT security
ClickandBuy has been McAfee-certified, thus making it the first internet payment system to obtain the security seal from McAfee, the worldwide market leader in IT security. As of now, McAfee protects more than 12 million ClickandBuy final customers and 14,000 dealers, on both the portal and the service pages. The protected pages can be recognized by anyone at a first glance: the well-known McAfee logo is easily visible on every webpage in the top right-hand corner. This comprehensive cooperation agreement means that ClickandBuy, as a full-service system for payment and billing, is further extending its position as one of the most secure providers worldwide. Thanks to its global partnership with McAfee, ClickandBuy is also taking account of the increased security requirements of its customers. As current studies demonstrate, security and confidence are both now and in future decisive criteria for online purchases as well as being key factors in the booming e-commerce market, and they have been shown to lead to higher customer switch-over rates and increasing sales. McAfee provides ClickandBuy with daily certification for both infrastructure and web applications so as to meet new threats immediately. This involves scanning and securing more than 3,000 possible exploits. Since the security certificate is tied to a domain, it can also be of use in preventing phishing: a click on the McAfee logo enables customers to make a quick check as to whether they are on an original ClickandBuy page.

Posted on January 29, 2009Study of ECC Handel confirms enormous increases in sales for online retailers who use the ClickandBuy internet payment system
Using ClickandBuy?boosts sales by 150 per cent
Using the ClickandBuy internet payment system can give online shops a considerable advantage, boosting their sales by up to 150 per cent, according to the latest study carried out by E-Commerce-Center Handel (ECC) in Cologne. The value of merchandise affects the extent of the sales increase effect. Generally, an increase in sales of about 88 per cent can be reached on average in the case of online purchases exceeding an amount of 200 euros; in fact this can be achieved by using secure payment systems. In the case of the ClickandBuy online payment system, the increase is about 150 per cent, markedly higher than the average! When it comes to purchases of about 50 euro, the increase for online retailers is generally on average 15 per cent, but ClickandBuy achieves an increase of 28 per cent. Another decisive advantage for online retailers: there is an additional growth in customer confidence, which means a terrific gain, since the public’s misgivings about security cost money, a lot of money. An appreciation of the customer’s needs for security is decisive for purchases, and experts speak of sales losses of up to one billion euros in Germany alone which result from scepticism in terms of the security of online shops. Integrating a well-known payment system such as ClickandBuy enables online retailers to meet possible security concerns on the part of their customers, thus significantly boosting their sales. New online shops in particular obtain advantages from cooperating with the market-tested ClickandBuy e-payment system: greater sales thanks to greater confidence! Quality seals and the integration of payment systems such as ClickandBuy are able to reduce the rate at which customers are lost. The results of the e-commerce study show that the targeted integration of a proven payment system into the purchasing process, in particular in the case of less well-known online retailers, leads to marked increases in sales. “Whereas it was hitherto possible only to assume that quality seals and payment systems generate confidence in particular in the case of smaller traders and increase online sales, there are now available clear results on the matter,” says Sebastian van Baal of the E-Commerce-Center Handel. Coauthor Dr. Kai Hudetz adds that “Against the background of the results of this study, online traders should make confidence-building measures an area of intense concern so as to make the most of their sales potentials.” The study is based on a series of online experiments, involving more than 500 consumers carrying out just under 15,000 simulated purchases. Among the objects of the study was how the Giropay and ClickandBuy payment systems affect the sales of online traders. The study, which has the title “The effectiveness of confidence-building measures in e-commerce” may be obtained at www.ecc-handel.de and at a price of 25 euros from bookshops (Volume 21 of the series “Ausgewählte Studien des ECC Handel”, 36 pages, ISBN: 978-3-935546-41-6).About ClickandBuy
