Partnering with Pockyt to connect people globally through commerce
Pockyt is a successful startup offering a radically simple way to integrate numerous alternative payment methods, both online and in-store, helping businesses reach new customers across the world. Cybersource’s role: to deliver the global payments platform that enables all these types of payments.
Helping merchants open a world of digital wallets
In many parts of the world, QR-code digital wallets have become the payment method of choice.
Pockyt is at the forefront of digital payments with a unique offering that enables small, medium, and enterprise businesses to accept all types of alternative payments, including this new world of wallets, through a single integration.
A retailer in the U.S. can now accept the payment methods used by millions of potential new customers worldwide, both online and in store. For no up-front cost, Pockyt is enabling merchants to expand their customer bases by the billions.
Digital allies, joining the dots
Payments partners with a shared goal
What Pockyt needed was a payments processing partner with the global scope, network, and expertise to support their platform and who shared their goal of connecting people through commerce.
And if there was ever a perfect partner to share in this vision of connected commerce, it’s Cybersource.
Through our global payments platform, Pockyt now offers merchants an elegant one-stop solution that can be easily integrated into any system setup, enabling them to transact with a continuously growing suite of QR-code wallets and alternative payment methods.
A trusted name
QR codes are inherently tamper-proof, and the promise of highly secure transactions makes for easy conversations between Pockyt and merchants.
But with the trusted functionality and backing of Cybersource, a Visa Solution—and our leading fraud detection capabilities in particular—businesses integrating Pockyt can see value, not vulnerability.
“Cybersource has the functionality that we need to service our clients in the best way possible.”
-Jeremy Jones COO, Pockyt
Support from an expert team
Fundamental to the Pockyt value proposition are developer tools and documentation that simplify the integration process, so businesses can cut straight to accepting new payment types. Cybersource’s alignment to developer support was key to cementing our partnership.
Our ease of use, quality of support, and the responsiveness of our team was a major driver of Pockyt’s decision to partner with us. Rather than creating an added layer of integration burden, Pockyt could provide clients a frictionless experience.
What’s next?
Up to this point, Pockyt has concentrated primarily on connecting U.S. merchants with digital wallets popular throughout Asia.
The company now wants to expand further into developing regions like India and Africa, where Pockyt sees a significant opportunity given the diversity and enthusiastic uptake of digital payment services in those regions.
Pockyt will continue expanding its merchant base in traditional retail stores and restaurants but also hopes to engage with more merchants operating large venues where international consumers are common, such as airports and sports arenas.
Pockyt also has its eyes set on gaming—an international, digital, borderless space where businesses and consumers alike can benefit from channel- and wallet-agnostic payment services.
And whatever and wherever is next for Pockyt, Cybersource and its global reach will be ready to go there.
