A new integration to simplify payments for hundreds of thousands of SMBs has been announced between Worldpay and Xero. As part of this collaboration, Xero users will have the option to create and send electronic invoices, including a ‘Pay Now’ option that allows customers to pay immediately by entering their credit or debit card details through Worldpay’s secure payments gateway.
According to Worldpay, clunky payments processes put unnecessary barriers between the business owner and their customer, which can lead to delays in getting paid. Through this integration, the ‘Pay Now’ function, which also includes automatic reminders when payments are due, or overdue, will encourage faster payments by making the process as easy for customers as ordering from their favourite online stores.
