MobilePay Online is a payment method available through Smart Checkout, allowing customers to complete payments using the MobilePay app on their mobile devices.
Key Advantages of MobilePay Online as a Payment Method
Flexibility: By eliminating the need for physical cards, MobilePay offers comfort and convenience. Studies show that businesses offering mobile payment options experience an average sales increase of 15%, thanks to the ease of use and wider payment options.
Popularity: MobilePay is highly popular in Denmark and Finland, with a user base exceeding 6 million. By integrating MobilePay, you can tap into this large user base, expanding your customer reach and market share.
Speed: MobilePay significantly accelerates the payment process, resulting in higher transaction completion rates. Businesses that have adopted it report up to a 20% increase in sales.
Security: With MobilePay, customers confirm each payment through their banking app, providing an additional layer of security. This leads to fraud rates lower than 0.01%, offering peace of mind for both customers and merchants.
Increased Customer Satisfaction: Offering MobilePay as a payment method can lead to higher customer satisfaction rates. Studies indicate that businesses providing mobile payment options achieve customer satisfaction rates of 92%, enhancing customer loyalty and positively reinforcing your business's image.
Quick Activation: You do not need an account with MobilePay. The integration process is quick, saving time and resources.
User Experience
At checkout, the customer selects MobilePay Online and clicks the Pay button.
The customer is redirected to the MobilePay environment (via browser) and enters their mobile number.
The customer receives a notification on their mobile device. On the computer, a timer is displayed, showing the time available to confirm the payment.
The customer opens the MobilePay app and confirms the payment.
After completing the payment, the customer is redirected to a success or failure page, depending on the transaction's status.
Mobile: The process is similar to the above but optimized for mobile device usage.
Important: As a merchant, you must verify the status of each payment.
We recommend utilizing our Transaction Payment Created and Transaction failed webhooks for this purpose.
Alternatively (or in addition), you can use our Retrieve Transaction API call.
