Germany-based global provider of digital payments and commerce solutions Wirecard announced on Monday it is now offering online flexible payment solution support for German supermarket chain, getnow. It was revealed:
“Thanks to Wirecard, getnow is able to offer its customers a flexible variety of digital payment options, with Wirecard processing all payments. Once customers order groceries via getnow’s comprehensive online platform, getnow employees then purchase the goods from the largest German wholesaler METRO and carry out same-day deliveries.”
While sharing more details about the collaboration, Christian Reindl, Executive Vice President Retail & Consumer Goods at Wirecard, stated:
“Buying groceries online is efficient and is a wise choice especially for recurring purchases. We are therefore pleased to continue to support the industry globally by digitizing payment processes. In the meantime, almost all consumer goods sectors have been fully digitalized, and we are seeing a clear trend towards Unified Commerce across all sales channels. In this sector, online grocery shopping plays a decisive role.”
Sebastian Wiese, CTO at getnow, added:
“With our platform, we offer a new shopping experience that attracts an increasing number of customers. Ultimately, online grocery shopping is much easier and less tedious than in a traditional supermarket: from the selection of products to the checkout. We know the major role payment plays when it comes to online shopping, and with Wirecard we have found a partner who understands our vision and helps us offer a fully digital and uncomplicated shopping experience.”
