How to integrate Way4Pay into my business?
The only what a merchant needs to start with accepting simple Way4Pay payments is to have an account at any bank and a Way4Pay Mobile App installed into his or her smartphone connected to the internet. The functionality of the Mobile App serves as a terminal for mobile payments - creation of bills, transmitting bills to the payer's, receiving payments and payments confirmations.
In the case of distance selling to increase security for customers as well as the merchant (preventing other persons to issue bills in the merchant's name) he has to register with the Merchant Registry. The registration is free.
In the case the merchant does not dispose of an own information system or he just starts to sell some goods or services, he has the possibility to configure his merchant solution in the application Solution4Merchant, where he can choose some of several ready made use cases, setup the parameters according to his needs and combine it with the modes of payment.
In the case the merchant operates a business system, he will have to integrate it with the Solution4Merchants Components. It requires e.g to integrate support for NFC communication into the cash desks or to enable to display and read QR codes.
