I4 Commerce and KBtoys.com today announced the launch of the Bill Me Later(R) payment option on KBtoys.com(TM) (www.kbtoys.com), which offers thousands of the most popular toys and video games, and eToys (www.etoys.com), which features top toys and an incredible selection of learning and specialty toys. Customers of both sites can choose I4 Commerce`s Bill Me Later payment option at checkout. It`s a convenient and secure payment option that gives KBtoys.com and eToys customers greater payment choice, flexibility and security.
"Bill Me Later makes shopping with us even more convenient, and differentiates the buying experience on KBtoys.com and eToys," said Michael J. Wagner, senior vice president and COO of KB Online Holdings, LLC, which operates KBtoys.com and eToys. "And as a special benefit during the holiday shopping season, we`re offering our customers a 90 days same as cash option with Bill Me Later. Our customers can finish up their shopping early, and pay after the holidays."
Bill Me Later offers a secure alternative to credit cards. It`s an attractive option for shoppers looking for other payment options, consumers who are new to online shopping and customers who don`t have credit cards. I4 Commerce bills approved transactions to the customer within 15 days, and retailers receive funding immediately after shipping the order. By addressing consumers` need for more payment choice, flexibility and safety, Bill Me Later is proven to generate higher sales and profits for multi-channel retailers. Retailers using Bill Me Later report higher customer acquisition rates and more frequent repeat purchases compare to only offering credit cards.
"We are proud to add KBtoys.com and eToys to the Bill Me Later Merchant Network," said Gary Marino, CEO of I4 Commerce, "We saw a need in the marketplace for a payment product that could increase sales, enhance customer loyalty and reduce the dependency on credit cards for multi-channel retailers. This partnership is further proof that retailers also see the need and are ready to take action."
