Payments provider to process retailer’s online payments for next three years

PayPoint.net recently announced that WHSmith has extended its contract to provide online payment services to the retailer’s online store.

The three-year renewal will see PayPoint.net continuing to process all online transactions WHSmith.co.uk handles for its customers every year. PayPoint.net was first appointed to process its payments shortly before Christmas 2007 when WHSmith.co.uk re-launched.

PayPoint.net said its secure payment solution is specifically tailored to meet WHSmith’s business requirements and seamlessly integrates with its in-house systems.

As a result WHSmith can incorporate PayPoint.net’s real-time reporting and reconciliation functionality into its existing technology, making its systems easier to manage while giving WHSmith a detailed view of its business performance.

It also reported that WHSmith has been impressed with the reliability and robustness of its payment platform. PayPoint.net’s highly scalable infrastructure, high processing capacity, full disaster recovery solution and 24-hour system monitoring has helped support high volumes of traffic and sales for more than three years.

Mark Stephenson, operations manager WHSmith, commented: “Brand reputation is a key factor for WHSmith, which is why we needed a reliable payment solution to help us expand our offering from an established high street business to a fully functioning ecommerce store. Not only has PayPoint.net’s payment platform delivered on its promise, we’ve been highly impressed with their dedicated support and ongoing consultation. It was an easy decision to extend our contract.”
