Paypal

Hi everyone

Has anyone looked into using Paypal as a payment method on their website at all?

We have been having a discussion about making it easier for people to purchase through our ticketing path and how many transactions are abandoned because people can't be bothered to go and get their payment card.

Any thoughts welcome

Thanks

  • We haven’t looked into PayPal but we have implemented an Amazon style One-Click ordering to try to combat that.  Basically the first time a customer purchases they have the option of retaining their card details.  If they choose to do so they can book tickets pretty much straight away the next time they visit so it’s perfect for repeat customers.  And in our implementation it’s all being hosted by TNSi our payment provider so we aren’t in scope of PCI.
