Understand Direct advantages

Moving from our classical integration layer to Direct can be considered a paradigm shift. It does involve some efforts from your side, but they will be well rewarded. We will happily support you to ensure a smooth transition!

So why switch to Direct anyway? Although we will continue supporting the classic integration layer, Direct is the future-proof solution for your business and the key to a higher conversion rate:

• As mobile payments are becoming the dominant online transaction processing mode, Direct follows a “Mobile first!” approach: All our features, payment methods, integration modes etc. are optimised for mobile devices
• Direct offers great opportunities for design control. Adapt the overall payment experience (the check-out process, the payment page itself etc.) to your corporate identity at your liking!
• With the advent of PSD2, we keep implementing features to keep 3-D Secure both smooth and save, such as: 
  • Exemption Engine
  • Decoupled amount
  • Payments via external MPI
• Direct is subject to continuous improvement and the addition of new features. Keep an eye on our Release Notes for regular updates

On top of this, Direct eases your integration/maintenance effort:

• Use SDKs conveniently wrapping our REST API, reducing the complexity of the payment flow, especially for rolling out 3-D Secure
• Install Plugins for all popular shopping carts
• Apply one way of authentication and free yourself from the hassle of SHA calculations, API users/passwords, IP address checks etc
• Delegate Back Office technical settings to our API and use the Merchant Portal as an intuitive user interface to manage your transactions
• Keep using your existing legacy resource like Aliases or acquirer connections for payment methods available on the Direct platform
