About

Earthlite ecommerce payment optimization

What does an ecommerce team need from a payments partner during a platform launch?

Earthlite needed more than a lower processing rate. Its payment setup had to work with a Magento 2 launch, fraud controls had to be configured correctly and merchant accounts needed to support multiple brands without slowing the ecommerce roadmap.

For ecommerce businesses facing the same problem today, the relevant Swipesum stack combines Merchant Accounts, Swipesum Gateway capabilities and services including Software Expertise, Implementation Assistance and Cost Reduction.

If a payment integration, processor limitation or merchant-account setup is putting an ecommerce launch at risk, talk through the payment architecture with Swipesum.

The challenge

Why ecommerce payment integrations become launch-critical

Earthlite was dealing with expensive card-not-present processing while preparing a new Magento store. The payment integration had to be solved without postponing launch, while fraud controls, merchant IDs and ongoing support also needed to fit the new ecommerce environment.

Magento launch risk

The payment integration had to be solved without pushing back the company's ecommerce launch.

Fraud controls

Card-not-present transactions needed properly configured controls rather than leaving fraud tooling unused or disconnected.

Cost + account structure

The economics needed improvement while the merchant-account structure also had to support Earthlite's different brands.

Implementation

How payment integration + merchant-account support kept Magento moving
