Electronic Payment Processing Systems Compared

The following is a side-by-side comparison of Mpayy with its electronic payments processing competitors.



It is certainly possible to feel this is biased towards Mpayy, as is my tendency. However, this highlights design decisions that were made in constructing the application.

For consumers, Mpayy created a multi-channel application (online, mobile, social networking, and internet retail partner sites). Further, consistently, Cash Back is the highest ranked reward by consumers. Mpayy provides 1% Cash Back on Purchase amounts over $50, and will provide soft dollar rewards that can be used as cash based on balances stored in the application. That is coming in the next few months.

For Merchants, the primary concerns were the price and security. The MOST expensive Mpayy will be is $0.20 + 2.00%. Google Checkout is offering that price, and we will certainly go below it with the right internet retailer partner or for PeSA and ECMTA members should they approve us. However, Mpayy also takes 100% of the fraud liability, not so with Google Checkout, and provides merchants with guaranteed payments, which GC does not.

On site integration, PayPal and Google Checkout provide relatively extensive API's to integrate to, and Google Checkout requires merchants to maintain their SKU's within the application, which is not practical as the size of the merchant grows. Mpayy's simple session transfer can be developed to within hours, and the AJAX Checkout window will be packaged up and plug and play when it launches as well.
