MUNICH, September 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Payment platform integrated into SAP Business ByDesign® solution

Wirecard Technologies GmbH, a Wirecard AG company, has joined the SAP® PartnerEdge® program and is cooperating in the field of payment services. A payment interface is now integrated into the ordering process of the cloud solution SAP Business ByDesign via the gateway provided by the payment processing company Wirecard. Merchants can decide to use the Wirecard payment function via the SAP Store.

The fully integrated cloud ERP solution SAP Business ByDesign offers customers the advantages of a state-of-the-art corporate application - without an expensive IT infrastructure. SMEs and large companies' subsidiaries benefit from a solution that supports them in all areas of their business.

"In particular in the case of our cloud solution SAP Business ByDesign, we rely on support from our partners who augment the solutions with add-ons and industry or country-specific modules," said Angela Mazza, global vice president, SAP Line of Business & Cloud Solutions, EMEA & MEE. "We are looking forward to working together with Wirecard. In the future, our customers will benefit from a payment structure integrated into the SAP Business ByDesign solution."

Michael Brinkmann, Executive Vice President Partner Management with Wirecard added: "We are looking forward to working together with SAP, in particular as our innovative end-to-end portfolio of solutions complements the SAP Business ByDesign solution. Wirecard is a specialist for mapping international group structures in payments."

As a global payment services provider with its own bank in the group, Wirecard will take over authorization as well as clearing and settlement for credit card payments. The consolidation and payout of all payment flows from a single source is a great advantage.
