Yapital Now Also Available to OXID Customers

LUXEMBOURG, October 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Online shops can now download the new cross-channel payment method from OXID eXchange for free / Easy integration by plug-in

Business customers of OXID eSales AG can now quickly and easily integrate the new Yapital cross-channel payment system into their payment methods using a free plug-in. After installing the system, the web shop's end customers can conveniently pay with their smartphone by simply scanning a QR code with their Yapital app and confirming the purchase. Alternatively, they can also pay by entering their Yapital user name and password.

This means Yapital is becoming much more widely available just a few months after being launched. Numerous multi-channel and online retailers operate their web shops with software from the leading e-commerce specialist, OXID. The Yapital integration plug-in is available in German and English.

"We are very pleased that it has been so quick and easy for us to make Yapital available to a great many business customers by working with OXID," says Nils Winkler, Chairman of the Yapital Board. "Not only end customers, but retailers too, should be able to experience Yapital as a straightforward method of payment for every occasion. And it really couldn't be easier to integrate a new method of payment than with a free plug-in."

Georg Schmück, Platform Relations Manager at OXID eSales AG, adds: "OXID is known for its user-friendly e-commerce software - and for immediately seizing and implementing major innovations. This is why we are pleased that we were able to make Yapital available to our customers as quickly as possible."
