Volusion Integrates Payment Request API for Merchants Just in Time for Holiday Shopping

AUSTIN – November 16, 2024 – Volusion, the only all-in-one e-commerce platform on the market built specifically for the needs of small businesses, today announced a payment integration with the recently-launched Payment Request API. With this integration, Volusion now enables its merchants to provide their customers with seamless payment integration from their Google and Android profiles, eliminating the need to enter their payment information, shipping, or contact information each time they make a purchase through a merchant’s online store.

Volusion began working with Google as part of a group of companies selected to participate in the Payment Request API beta program. As a result, Volusion is now bringing the solution to all of its merchants. Today, online storeowners that work with the platform can offer one-touch checkout experiences for their Android shoppers using any credit or debit card saved to their Google accounts or Android Pay.

In addition, shoppers will soon be able to enjoy this seamless one-click checkout experience when Google rolls out the Payment Request API integration for the Chrome desktop browser, and Volusion will provide the option for their merchants at that time. The Payment Request API incorporates payment information from Google Mobile on Android phones as well as Chrome, and by being able to provide this option for merchants, Volusion is streamlining the purchasing experience, making it hassle-free for both merchants and consumers alike.

“We are constantly talking to our founders about how we can provide the best experience for them and their customers. We know the checkout process is absolutely integral when it comes to making the sale, which is why we were excited to work with Google and the Payment Request API beta program to provide another option for merchants and customers to make and receive payments seamlessly,” said Kevin Sproles, CEO and founder of Volusion. “Who wants to take the time to pull out their credit card and painstakingly enter all of the information over and over again? The Payment Request API provides more convenience for customers, which ultimately leads to more sales for our merchants.”

Earlier this year, Volusion launched a significant upgrade to its core technology, to give small businesses a one-stop shop with all the tools they need to successfully sell online. Features of the new platform, V2, include quick store building to help merchants sell faster, hosted checkout within merchants’ domains included in all Volusion plans, and integrations directly with Paypal, Amazon, and more, including the Payment Request API.
