The Importance of Flexible Payment Options for Customers and Retailers

Today, customers are no longer only looking at a product when purchasing. Easy and flexible payment options have also become equally essential. The less that customers can think of their payment method, the more time they can spend learning more about the product.

Credit and debit cards have become a staple payment method, and instant transfers are gaining popularity for their live transactions. Meanwhile, more customers are using digital platforms such as e-wallets and online banking to transact for needs and wants.

In fact, according to the 2018 Worldpay Global Payments Report, global online shoppers prefer to use e-wallets (36%), credit cards (23%), and debit cards (12%).

The problem with little payment flexibility for customers

Despite these emerging forms of payment options, most businesses still don’t offer flexible payments. For customers, this can pose a problem in some situations. For one, a customer may not have enough cash on hand when purchasing in a cash-only store. 

Another example is slow and hassle payment processing. Manual billing and checks take time and effort for both business and customer to process. This can create an unsatisfactory purchasing experience for you.

Of course, businesses will also have similar problems. So, as consumer needs change and payment methods evolve, businesses must adapt to the changing market for simple and seamless payments.

That’s why Mearth offers flexible payment options

To provide a more convenient, faster, and safer transaction for customers, Mearth will be launching new payment options this month. Besides paying through Afterpay, credit card and cash, you will be able to pay via B2Bpay, Procuret, Zip Pay, and LatitudePay. Use these payment options when you purchase from our shop. 

With more payment options available, you can:

Select your preferred payment channel

Pay using the most convenient method for you. Mearth is aware that our patrons have varying needs and that adding more digital payment methods like B2Bpay, Procured, Zip Pay, and LatitudePay will provide more flexibility for you. After all, granting more payment channels means that there’s a better chance for you to get the electric scooter that you need.

Moreover, you don’t need to go through the hassle of paying through a different channel or the uncertainty of using an unfamiliar platform. You can easily select the payment method that you know and trust.

Make instant transactions

No matter where you are located, you can pay for your electric scooter needs with just a click of a button or a tap on your smartphone. Mearth’s new payment options allow you to pay instantly anywhere and anytime through your computer or smartphone. 

You no longer have to worry about paying in cash and if we have successfully received your payment. The new payment options allow for instant transfers. Once you have paid for your brand new electric scooter, you can simply wait for it to arrive or pick it up in the shop when you’re ready.

Buy now, pay later

Not everyone can afford to pay for an e-scooter all at once. That’s why Mearth added more payment channels that allow you to buy now and pay later. Afterpay, Zip Pay, and LatitudePay are reliable platforms that offer flexible instalment options depending on your needs. 

For example, Zip Pay offers an interest-free instalment service with a credit limit of up to $1000. This kind of payment option will make it easier for you to squeeze in an electric scooter to your budget. You don’t have to worry about not being able to pay for an e-scooter because you have control over your spending.

Ensure safe and secure transactions

Finally, all of Mearth’s payment methods ensure your security during transactions. These new payment methods provide the necessary security to keep your personal data and card data private.

Payment methods such as Afterpay, Latitudepay, and Zip Pay comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which ensures that your card data will be protected within the platform. This means your card data is masked and encrypted at all times. Moreover, these platforms also protect your data privacy in compliance with the Australian Privacy Act.

All for your convenience and satisfaction

Mearth strives to bring not only quality electric scooters but also exceptional customer service. By providing new payment options, Mearth puts you first. All of this creates an easier, faster, and safer purchasing experience.
