Issues

Efficiently manage your marketplace payment journeys

Marketplaces connect customers with merchants. They are all subject to certain regulatory constraints that may impact their user experience more or less heavily. However, some priorities stand out according to their business model:
  • B2B: automating bank transfer payment management
  • B2C: simplifying platform accessibility for new merchants
  • C2C: limit management costs for merchants operating low-value sales

Impacts

As a relay between customers and merchants, marketplaces must act as trusted third parties, holding financial transactions. They must also ensure their merchants compliance and the exchanged funds’ traceability by opening accounts for each merchant.
The creation of payment accounts and the lack of payment automation are issues that have a direct impact on the marketplace’s success. If the platform is difficult for merchants to access, or offers limited services, the offerings catalog will be limited, and customers will shop elsewhere.

In addition

Managing your marketplace as a PSP agent

Unlike traditional e-commerce merchants, platforms operating third party payments are required to obtain Payment Service Provider Agent status in order to practice. This status offers several advantages for marketplaces:

  • Enhance your platform with integrated payment services
  • Mastering contractualization and commercial negotiation processes
  • Become a trusted third party between your merchants and your customers
