Moneybookers‘ Payments Service to Integrate with Magento eCommerce Platform
Official Module to Provide Integration with One of the World’s Largest, Safest and Most Secure Payment Services
Los Angeles, CA – Wednesday, January 20, 2010 – Magento, the world´s fastest-growing ecommerce platform,
and Moneybookers, one of the largest online payment systems, with millions of customers worldwide, today announce
the official integration of Moneybookers’ payment and merchant services as an official bundled module in the upcoming
Version 1.4 of the Open Source Magento eCommerce platform.
Moneybookers‘ worldwide network will allow Magento merchants to offer customers a wide range of payment and
banking options globally, with over 80 local payment choices in more than 200 countries, all with low transaction fees.
This includes the increasingly popular Moneybookers eWallet solution, currently used by over ten million customers.
“Moneybookers offers Magento users a ready-made solution which can be used to accept payments immediately from
over 200 countries, and which is completely hassle-free. This provides great value to retailers, allowing them to attract
customers from around the world to their stores,” said Roy Rubin, CEO of Varien, the Magento company.
In addition, the integration also enables online retailers to benefit from Moneybookers’ risk management expertise for
every transaction and provides them with charge-back protection upon request so they are not left carrying the cost
of online fraud.
“Moneybookers provides retailers running on Magento peace of mind by offering fraud risk prevention as a standard part
of their services,” said Rubin. “This is a very important consideration for many when weighing the decision to establish
an online channel.”
Previously, the Moneybookers payment extension for Magento Community and Magento Enterprise Edition was offered
as an extension to the core Magento platform through Magento Connect, Magento’s marketplace for third party and
community add-ons. Moneybookers’ rapidly rising popularity as a Magento Connect extension has made it one of the
most popular payment options amongst Magento merchants and as such it will now be provided as bundled module with
the core platform, making integration and configuration even easier, and enabling retailers using Moneybookers
to achieve a quicker time to market.
“With Magento and Moneybookers, online retailers can be up, running and processing credit card payments within hours.
And we aim to deliver a first-class service with risk checks on every payment, optional charge-back protection and over 80
payment options that can take a small business global in minutes,” said David Roe COO of Moneybookers.
The Moneybookers module has been developed for Magento by developer, Phoenix Medien, which is a Magento
Professional Partner.
