Acquired.com launches Hosted Checkout Solution for merchants

By Gloria Methri

UK payments specialist Acquired.com has launched an all-in-one Hosted Checkout solution to help merchants offer all major payment methods via a single integration.

Hosted Checkout is a pre-built, customisable, and quick-to-deploy solution that will allow merchants to accept credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Open Banking payments through a single integration.

The solution addresses the financial and operational burdens faced by merchants undertaking multiple integrations in order to offer different payment methods to their customers.

Mark Johnson, Commercial Director, Acquired.com said, “Our Hosted Checkout solution solves a key challenge for merchants who want to deliver a variety of payment methods for their customers but are reluctant to undertake numerous time-consuming integrations. In particular, the ability to offer Open Banking payments, a payment method that is yet to see widespread use in many sectors, alongside other payment methods and without the need for a separate integration is a game changer for forward-thinking merchants.”

For merchants looking to integrate Apple Pay & Google Pay, Acquired.com’s Hosted Checkout eliminates the need to create a developer account and submit an application to Apple and Google directly, in addition to streamlining the technical aspect of integration.

Integrating an Open Banking solution traditionally involves working with a different provider than a business’ card payment processor, with Acquired.com’s Hosted Checkout merchants can easily adopt open banking payments through Acquired.com’s own solution.

Aside from the benefits of a single integration to gain access to all major payment methods, Acquired.com’s Hosted Checkout solution presents several other benefits.

Jamie Lynch, Product Manager at Acquired.com said, “Hosted Checkout is another weapon in our arsenal that gives businesses freedom and flexibility in the payment methods they offer, and the look and feel of their checkout. We believe that this solution has the ability to drive Open Banking adoption for merchants in a variety of sectors and support consumer uptake with minimal integration hassle.”
