Integration Designed as Benefit to Catalogers eCheck and Cash Payment Options Added to Response
PORTLAND, Ore., March 14 -- AmeriNet, Inc., a leading electronic Payment processor with a focus on turnkey payment solutions for customer-not-present merchants, and CoLinear Systems, Inc. a provider of direct commerce software for the catalog industry, today announced an agreement to tightly integrate CoLinear`s Response application with AmeriNet`s web-based payment processing engine. In addition to AmeriNet`s standard eCheck service, merchants can also enjoy the added benefit of a new cash payment service from Western Union called "SwiftPay." Western Union selected AmeriNet to provide network services enabling merchants to quickly and easily accept cash payments via Western Union`s more than 45 thousand locations nationwide.
"In the bricks and mortar world, checks can account for over 20% of a merchant`s sales volume. Catalog and online businesses would be foolish to ignore that potential", said Lloyd Merriam, founder and CEO of CoLinear Systems. "Offering eCheck and cash payment options can substantially increase a merchant`s customer base, so we`ve enabled Response to accept them using AmeriNet`s robust infrastructure," he added.
"AmeriNet offers customized payment applications to serve merchants dealing with customer-not-present purchases," said David Kerlin, co-founder of AmeriNet. "By utilizing AmeriNet`s data network linking e-commerce merchants and catalog call centers with fulfillment centers, catalog merchants can offer low cost payment alternatives to their customers."
"As always," added Merriam, "our objective is to provide Response users with the utmost flexibility in all areas including payment processing. Our strategic partnership with AmeriNet provides eCheck and cash payment options which can attract more customers, reduce costs and ultimately improve a merchant`s bottom line."
