Payments in our digital store
We live in the digital era— online shopping, e‑commerce, digital payments — “adapt or die” has never been truer. More and more businesses are moving into e‑commerce and launching their online shops.
Once you take the step and create your online business (whether using an open‑source app like WooCommerce, Prestashop, Magento, Shopify, etc. or a fully custom build) one of the most important decisions is: Which payment methods will we offer?
What options do we have?
There’s a wide range: from the increasingly rare cash‑on‑delivery and bank transfer to newer methods like Bizum, Google Pay, Apple Pay.
In our store the possibilities are endless: we can integrate common gateways (PayPal, Paysafecard, Stripe, Redsys, Adyen, etc.) or a unified platform that bundles several payment methods (e.g. Wannme, Paycomet, Monei). To decide, consider: supported payment instruments, instalments / split payments, ease of integration, fees / commissions, settlement speed, reconciliation tools, fraud controls — and choose what best fits your business needs.
What’s the best option for me?
At Bloonde we’ve integrated payment gateways daily for 8+ years; we’ll advise you on the platform that fits you best because it’s a key success factor. A clumsy, insecure or unstable checkout can tank conversion and undermine your entire e‑commerce effort.
