"How can I increase my conversion rate?"

This is the most pressing challenge most online merchants are permanently facing. They have to work hard in order to reduce their shopping cart abandonment rates, especially by constantly tweaking and streamlining their payment processes.

For those merchants who do business on Facebook or plan to do so there is now a new streamlining approach available: the 'Buxter Wallet', a Facebook application created by the well-known internet payment service ClickandBuy. Not only does this solution enable any Facebook app to offer a checkout fastlane through a highly streamlined "2-Click-Buy" option, but also does it minimize the bounce rate of the payment process.

How does this work?

We all know the regular payment process: clicking a 'Buy Now' button, being redirected to an external payment processor like PayPal, entering payment information and finally returning to the merchant website.

Don`t leave Facebook!

While this procedure is suffered on but widely accepted by users of standard websites and online shops, this is not true within the Facebook community. Facebook users do NOT want to leave the Facebook ecosystem when paying for an item or virtual good, e.g. in a Facebook game app or on a Facebook shop page. They want to remain within their trusted Facebook environment. Also the purchase has to be fast, since mostly it is aiding what the user does in Facebook in exactly this moment, e.g. buing a stronger weapon in a fight or buying an instant virtual present.

Pay inside of Facebook

With Buxter any Facebook merchant can easily meet exactly users' wishes. When paying with Buxter the customer stays in Facebook, confirming the payment via a standard Facebook confirmation dialog box via a single click and an optional password. This streamlined payment process – branded by the Buxter Team as 'In-Facebook payment' – totally eliminates the media disruptions of the classic payment process, ultimately increasing conversion rates for the merchant.

Buxter is the solution

"With Buxter we offer a great In-Facebook payment solution for any merchant who is selling on Facebook or plans to do so. If the merchant is interested in increased conversions and lower fees than Facebook Credits we are definitely the one to check out", says Christian von Hammel-Bonten, SVP and Head of Product Management at ClickandBuy.

Platogo believes Buxter could open up $835m market

FACEBOOK GAMES DEVELOPERS   RECEIVE BOOST FROM NEW PAYMENT APP

Buxter, the peer-to-peer payment application for Facebook users, could also hold the key to helping developers generate revenues from previously free-to-play social network games.

Facebook game developer Platogo has today announced that it has begun using Buxter as a way for its players to purchase virtual currency in its games. This is the first commercial use of the Buxter application.

There has long been discussion about how developers of games and applications for social networking sites such as Facebook could start to ‘monetise’ their creations. Platogo believes that the Buxter app is the answer.

“Research from the Inside Virtual Goods Report shows that the market for games and gifts within social networks will be worth $835m by the end of this year. For any business operating within Facebook this is a potentially huge market. The problem until now has been how to make it easy for users to make payments - to buy virtual goods within games, for example. Buxter has solved that problem in a stroke,” said Jakob Sommerhuber, CEO, Platogo.

Buxter, launched earlier in 2010 by payments company ClickandBuy, is the first application on Facebook that allows users to send and request real currency. Buxter users can send or receive amounts of up to EURO 50, for example to contribute towards a friend’s birthday present, or to re-pay a share of a restaurant bill.

“This is a fascinating piece of innovation by Platogo. They were quick to spot that Buxter is just as suited for use by businesses within Facebook that use micro-payments as it is for Facebook users,” commented Charles Fraenkl, CEO, ClickandBuy. “Platogo’s imagination looks set to have opened up a way for thousands of Facebook businesses to begin generating revenues from apps that were previously free to use.”

As of today, the estimated 400 million users of the social network Facebook will be able to use “Buxter“. Developed by e-payment entrepreneur ClickandBuy it is the only platform within a social media network that handles real instead of virtual currencies.

With just a few clicks of the mouse, users can register and load their own “Buxter” E-wallet in Euro or US dollars (with a limit of € 50,- for now).

The application could prove to be equally helpful for friends and family. Facebook users are able to transfer, receive and request money from other Facebook users via "Buxter" free of charge. And for a small fee of 1.9% (min. 2 EUR or 3 USD) they can withdraw their money from their ClickandBuy account.

The application will initially be available in Euros and US Dollars and can be found here: http://apps.facebook.com/mybuxter

However, the biggest advancement appears to be Facebook’s transition from a successful social network to an e-commerce-marketplace, that is not contained in a closed system. “Buxter” is designed to encourage third party developers by giving them access to the “Buxter”-Facebook-API. This way, third party developers are able to create individual business solutions within Facebook and then receive payments through “Buxter”.

What services come to mind? From movie tickets to lunch box – you name it. But more importantly, it’s the implementation of an app that serves the community spirit of Facebook. Users may want to integrate this app into their own profile and from then on they can collect money from other users. Either, for an upcoming birthday party, or, even better, raise money for charity.

Christian von Hammel-Bonten, Senior VP, Head of Product Management, ClickandBuy says: “From now on, Facebook users can not only share their status and pictures, they can also share real money in a way that is fast, easy and secure.”

Charles Fraenkl, CEO, ClickandBuy says: “’Buxter’ is the application that will see Facebook members use the platform not just as a way to stay in touch but also as a fast, easy and secure way to exchange money or buy and sell products and services.”

Following on from the SPIEGEL e-paper is the SPIEGEL App, which is now available to purchase via ClickandBuy, Europe's leading supplier of paid content

ClickandBuy, which has been a partner of Apple iTunes since 2005 and the online payment system for SPIEGEL since 2002, enables SPIEGEL readers to pay conveniently and securely for the new purchasable iPhone App. The added value of the paid content offer is that it makes the purchasable version of the current edition of SPIEGEL available for download every Saturday evening.

iPhone and iPod Touch customers are now able to read the current edition of SPIEGEL from 10pm on a Saturday evening, before it appears in print the following Monday. During the introductory phase the full version of SPIEGEL will cost €2.99 to download and from the end of March 2010 an individual issue will be available to buy for €3.99. A mini-subscription of four issues is available at a cost of €9.60 and a regular subscription charged at €3.65 per issue. The new e-reader, which has been designed specifically for SPIEGEL, presents the magazine in a format that has been optimised for the iPhone and iPod Touch, thereby ensuring even long articles can be read comfortably. The SPIEGEL App (approx. 5 MB) can be downloaded via WLAN or 3G in less than a minute and saved on the iPhone. This enables customers to read SPIEGEL even if there's no internet connection or if they wish to avoid expensive data connections while abroad. In the future, subscribers who currently use ClickandBuy to purchase the SPIEGEL e-paper on the Internet will also be able to access it via the e-reader application, which has been developed for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

ClickandBuy, as a long-term partner of Apple iTunes, sees another milestone in the trend towards paid content. ClickandBuy CEO Charles Fraenkl commented on this very positive development from the perspective of an online payment system with a decade of experience: "We are only seeing the beginning of paid content for published items. With quality offers directed at target groups and the corresponding pricing models, paid content will soon be able to make the breakthrough”. “As a partner of major media companies, ClickandBuy is ideally positioned: To successfully implement the various pricing and business models for publishing houses it requires many years of experience, which only ClickandBuy can offer at the necessary depth and breadth for the online payment market", continues Fraenkl.

ClickandBuy: New Facebook App Makes Money Transfer Possible for 350 Million Facebook Users Worldwide

Before long, all Facebook users will be able to easily execute money transfers among each other with a ClickandBuy app and purchase Facebook apps quickly and conveniently. As one of the leading Internet payment systems, ClickandBuy makes it possible for the world’s largest online community to easily and securely pay for content and services. Content and services that Facebook users exchange with each other – and also paid content and services that are professionally offered on the platform.

The new app is geared toward "normal” users and to developers/marketers of apps. Facebook users can both transfer money – after loading the account beforehand with ClickandBuy – and request money directly from Facebook friends. For application developers, an interface (API) will already be provided at the outset. These Facebook apps can then be conveniently and securely paid by the platform users with ClickandBuy. Payments up to EUR 50 or 70USD will usually be possible in the first stage – in euro and dollar currencies.

Over 1 billion images and 10 million videos are uploaded to Facebook every month – and the general Internet trend continues to clearly evolve in the direction of paid content. “The monetisation of the Web 2.0 has just started; the significance of social networks continues to grow – and ClickandBuy, with its 10 years of experience, is among the leaders again”, said CEO Charles Fränkl as he explained the strategic decision to focus on the paid content model, even with social networks. “We are making our first person-to-person payment service available to the world’s largest social networking community – and others will soon follow", continued Fränkl.

Most of the users hail from the USA (over 70 percent) and are younger than 25 years. In Germany and Austria, almost 10 percent of online users already use the platform; Switzerland has approximately 18 percent active users. More than 75 million Facebook users access the platform via mobile terminals.

An IZH5 study conducted by ECC Handel confirms the popularity and rapidly increasing use of the online payment system ClickandBuy

An increasing number of shoppers are using ClickandBuy to pay for their online purchases. More than twelve million customers are already using ClickandBuy as a secure and simple Internet payment system, and in excess of 14,000 retailers have placed their trust in the renowned e-money institution, which has ten years of experience in billing for e-Commerce and Paid Content & Services.

Online stores that have integrated ClickandBuy as their payment system benefit twofold: On one hand, they benefit through a significant increase in sales, and on the other through a considerably reduced purchase cancellation rate averaging around seven percent, as identified in the recent study conducted by the E-Commerce-Center Handel at the University of Cologne (ECC Handel). The economic research institute also came to the conclusion that more than one in every six Euro is transacted via ClickandBuy when an online store offers it as a payment option. This indicates that ClickandBuy has been able to position itself as an e-Payment system in front of other payment methods. With a percentage range in double and triple figures, this business-related revenue is significantly higher than that achieved with previously popular payment methods, such as cash on delivery (around 60 percent higher) or hire purchase (over 200 percent more). In these business-related transactions, for example, ClickandBuy more than triples the revenue generated by giropay.

The study conducted by ECC Handel in December 2008 entitled "Die Effektivität vertrauensbildender Maßnahmen" (The effectiveness of confidence-building measures) (http://www.ecc-handel.de/die_effektivitaet_vertrauensbildender_massnahmen_6375901.php), which illustrated the fact that online stores can significantly benefit through the use of ClickandBuy as their Internet payment system and even increase their sales by up to 150 percent, is supported by a recent study by the E-Commerce-Center Handel in Cologne, which emphasises the attractiveness of ClickandBuy as a payment system for online retailers.

The IZH5 study is based on a series of data enquiries, in which 315 companies that use the Internet as a distribution channel were surveyed. One issue that was investigated, amongst others, was the proportion of online sales for the respective payment method. The complete study entitled "Internet-Zahlungsverkehr aus Sicht der Händler: Ergebnisse der Umfrage IZH5" ("Internet transactions from the retailer's perspective: Results of survey IZH5) can be purchased from February in the ECC Handel store at www.ecc-handel.de.

50 per cent of regular online shoppers cancel purchases if preferred method of payment is not available

Online merchants are losing business by not offering a sufficiently wide choice of internet payment methods according to a survey commissioned by ClickandBuy, a leading internet payment system. The survey of 2000 British adults, which was carried out by independent survey firm YouGov, found that half (50 per cent) of those who regularly shop online said that if their preferred payment method is not available, they will cancel the purchase.

Supporting this statistic is that over one third (40 per cent) of all adults surveyed said that they would feel more comfortable purchasing from a retailer who offers a wide range of payment methods than a retailer who only offers one payment option.

Merchants risk missing out on valuable business at a time when e-commerce is expected to grow with one third (36 per cent) of survey participants predicting that they will shop more online than on the high street in 2009 than in 2008. In fact, 45 per cent of those questioned agreed that they would be spending more time shopping online for cheaper versions of things they used to buy on the high street during the recession.

While consumers are set to increase their online shopping habits, the financial security risks associated with e-commerce continue to be a concern. 84 per cent of all adults questioned believed that the number of people trying to commit fraud on the internet is increasing as more people around the world use the web. Only one third (34 per cent) disagreed with the statement ‘I feel no safer when buying online now than I did five years ago’ and that less than half (41 per cent) of regular online shoppers are totally confident that their credit card details are secure when entered online.

Of the 32 per cent of adults surveyed who do not regularly shop online, over half (54 per cent) said that this is because they are concerned of the security risks from entering credit card details online.

Commenting on the findings, Nick Drew, director, e-commerce operations, ClickandBuy, says, “The message to merchants is clear – consumers are prepared to shop more online, but they want to feel completely comfortable and secure in doing so. Competition is rife in the online space and if shoppers aren’t being offered the right service and payment systems to meet their needs, they will take their purchase elsewhere, leaving merchants to potentially miss out on millions of pounds of business. Yes, e-commerce is set to grow, but only for those merchants who appreciate that different consumers have different preferences when it comes to making online transactions. The logic is simple - by offering a wider range of payment systems, the more customers a site is likely to appeal to.”

ClickandBuy expands into Brazil

ClickandBuy, the online payment processing company, today announced that it is to enter the fast-growing Brazilian market. Its 14,000 online retailers are now able to tap into one of the world’s largest and fastest growing consumer markets. Security software company McAfee has become the first to make its products available to Brazilians through ClickandBuy.

Consumers will be able to make purchases using Brazil’s popular cash-based Boleto Bancário system. Huge numbers of Brazilians do not have credit cards, which means that unless purchases can be made using cash, online shopping is not possible. By working with Boleto Bancário, ClickandBuy opens up the online shopping experience to the 40% of the Brazilian population who prefer cash-based payment systems.

“As internet retailing matures, merchants are increasingly looking to expand into new international markets. Being able to offer local payment methods is vital if they are to win business,” said Charles Frankl, CEO, ClickandBuy. “In Brazil, cash is still king, so by offering payments via Boleto Bancário we are providing our pool of 14,000 merchants with the chance to tap into one of the world’s fastest growing ecommerce markets.”

The Boleto Bancário system produces a bank slip when a purchase is made online. The customer takes the slip to the bank and pays for the purchase in cash. ClickandBuy is then informed, allowing the transaction to be completed.

Like ClickandBuy, Boleto Bancário has been growing at 100% each year. It now accounts for 20% of the payments made in Brazilian ecommerce. Meanwhile the Brazilian ecommerce market is growing rapidly, with current figures suggesting annual growth rates of 40%.

This announcement further strengthens ClickandBuy’s global presence. As well as strong positions in UK, Germany and the rest of Europe, the company is already successful in Mexico. On April 1st it also announced a partnership with CardinalCommerce allowing it to offer its services to North American internet retailers.

ClickandBuy has been McAfee-certified, thus making it the first internet payment system to obtain the security seal from McAfee, the worldwide market leader in IT security. As of now, McAfee protects more than 12 million ClickandBuy final customers and 14,000 dealers, on both the portal and the service pages. The protected pages can be recognized by anyone at a first glance: the well-known McAfee logo is easily visible on every webpage in the top right-hand corner.

This comprehensive cooperation agreement means that ClickandBuy, as a full-service system for payment and billing, is further extending its position as one of the most secure providers worldwide. Thanks to its global partnership with McAfee, ClickandBuy is also taking account of the increased security requirements of its customers. As current studies demonstrate, security and confidence are both now and in future decisive criteria for online purchases as well as being key factors in the booming e-commerce market, and they have been shown to lead to higher customer switch-over rates and increasing sales.

McAfee provides ClickandBuy with daily certification for both infrastructure and web applications so as to meet new threats immediately. This involves scanning and securing more than 3,000 possible exploits. Since the security certificate is tied to a domain, it can also be of use in preventing phishing: a click on the McAfee logo enables customers to make a quick check as to whether they are on an original ClickandBuy page.

Using ClickandBuy?boosts sales by 150 per cent

Using the ClickandBuy internet payment system can give online shops a considerable advantage, boosting their sales by up to 150 per cent, according to the latest study carried out by E-Commerce-Center Handel (ECC) in Cologne.

The value of merchandise affects the extent of the sales increase effect. Generally, an increase in sales of about 88 per cent can be reached on average in the case of online purchases exceeding an amount of 200 euros; in fact this can be achieved by using secure payment systems. In the case of the ClickandBuy online payment system, the increase is about 150 per cent, markedly higher than the average! When it comes to purchases of about 50 euro, the increase for online retailers is generally on average 15 per cent, but ClickandBuy achieves an increase of 28 per cent.

Another decisive advantage for online retailers: there is an additional growth in customer confidence, which means a terrific gain, since the public’s misgivings about security cost money, a lot of money. An appreciation of the customer’s needs for security is decisive for purchases, and experts speak of sales losses of up to one billion euros in Germany alone which result from scepticism in terms of the security of online shops. Integrating a well-known payment system such as ClickandBuy enables online retailers to meet possible security concerns on the part of their customers, thus significantly boosting their sales.

New online shops in particular obtain advantages from cooperating with the market-tested ClickandBuy e-payment system: greater sales thanks to greater confidence! Quality seals and the integration of payment systems such as ClickandBuy are able to reduce the rate at which customers are lost.

The results of the e-commerce study show that the targeted integration of a proven payment system into the purchasing process, in particular in the case of less well-known online retailers, leads to marked increases in sales.

“Whereas it was hitherto possible only to assume that quality seals and payment systems generate confidence in particular in the case of smaller traders and increase online sales, there are now available clear results on the matter,” says Sebastian van Baal of the E-Commerce-Center Handel. Coauthor Dr. Kai Hudetz adds that “Against the background of the results of this study, online traders should make confidence-building measures an area of intense concern so as to make the most of their sales potentials.”

The study is based on a series of online experiments, involving more than 500 consumers carrying out just under 15,000 simulated purchases. Among the objects of the study was how the Giropay and ClickandBuy payment systems affect the sales of online traders. The study, which has the title “The effectiveness of confidence-building measures in e-commerce” may be obtained at www.ecc-handel.de and at a price of 25 euros from bookshops (Volume 21 of the series “Ausgewählte Studien des ECC Handel”, 36 pages, ISBN: 978-3-935546-41-6).
