Ogone and Actinic partner to simplify international trade for over 12,000 of the UK’s ecommerce retailers.

Ogone’s payment services now available to Actinic customers through a fully integrated plug-in.

Ogone payment services today announced that it has partnered with Actinic (www.actinic.co.uk), one of the UK’s most popular providers of ecommerce software for small and medium size businesses. The partnership enables Actinic customers to easily collect payments across European markets from a wide range of payment types.

The deal will mean that businesses using the Actinic platform to drive their websites can now select Ogone to process their payments simply by clicking on a dropdown selection in the Business Settings. The plug-in is available to those using Actinic version 10 (v10.0.2 onwards) for Actinic Catalog, Business, Business Plus and Enterprise.

As a result of the partnership over 12,000 of the UK’s small and medium sized ecommerce ventures can now benefit from Ogone’s fully PCI-DSS compliant online payment processing. Furthermore they can take advantage of Ogone’s established relationships with all the major payment providers such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express, as well as all local European payment providers. These include Solo and Maestro in the UK, iDeal and Machtigingen in the Netherlands, ELV in Germany and Carte Bleue in France, enabling them to develop European markets through a single, consolidated payment mechanism.

Nick Kington, Managing Director, Actinic said of the partnership “An increasing number of the UK’s independent retailer’s want to trade internationally. It is Ogone’s ability to process payments from different markets that differentiates them from other PSPs and makes its plug in an excellent addition to our platform and services.”

Julian Wallis, UK Country Manager, Ogone said: ‘Actinic helps thousands of businesses to power their online stores and is a major player in the UK market. As British retailers realise that the our domestic ecommerce market is maturing, it’s important they take the next step and prepare for overseas trading. The Ogone platform is specifically designed to open European markets and this partnership with Actinic will simplify international trading for a large number of UK firms.’

Ogone has completed all the technical work to develop the plug in and fully integrate its payment platform with Actinic so that Actinic customers can benefit from Ogone’s extensive experience and wide range of payment services with minimal time and effort.
