CommercialWare Integrates the Bill Me Later(R) Payment Option to Its Platform Used by Over 100 Leading Multi-Channel Retailers
TIMONIUM, Md., April 20 -- I4 Commerce today announced that its Bill Me Later® payment vehicle has been integrated into CommercialWare`s point of sale and retail management software system, making it easy for CommercialWare`s multi-channel retailers to offer customers the option of being billed later for purchases made online or via the telephone. CommercialWare powers cross-channel retail commerce for more than 100 leading retail brands including Jos A. Bank, Abercrombie & Fitch, Starbucks, Brooks Brothers, J.Jill, Ritz Camera, Patagonia and many others.
Bill Me Later provides a convenient and secure way of paying for purchases online or via the telephone for customers that prefer an alternative to credit cards. By only providing top-of-mind information such as the birth date and the last four digits of the social security number, qualified customers receive credit for their purchase within seconds at the point of sale. Customers then receive a bill from Bill Me Later within 14 days, which they can pay in full or finance over time.
"CommercialWare is dedicated to helping our merchants expand their reach by offering them the flexibility of multiple payment methods to access new customers," said John Coskie, CommercialWare`s VP Sales and Marketing. "The Bill Me Later payment option allows our merchants to reach new segments of customers not currently served by traditional payment options, and in addition it offers existing customers choice and flexibility for their telephone and online order transactions."
"We are excited that CommercialWare has chosen to provide Bill Me Later to its merchants, making it easy for its network of 100+ leading multi-channel retailers to offer this alternative payment option to its customers," said Gary Marino, chief executive officer of I4 Commerce. "Providing the Bill Me Later payment option has shown to boost customer satisfaction while increasing both the top and bottom line for merchants."
