Oleoshop integrates Aplázame among its payment methods

It is always recommended to offer the largest number of payment alternatives to those who visit our online store. Some find it more convenient to pay by credit card, others prefer PayPal or Apple Pay, or even via transfer. 

But Aplázame has a true differential value for your store, in addition to a payment method by itself. As its name indicates, it allows you to split payments, and that, under circumstances like this, it is very useful. 

In reality, this is not so revolutionary in retail: many stores consider this option and others of the largest ones have even gone so far as to create their own financial companies more as a business than as a service. 

Meanwhile, in eCommerce has not become a standard yet and, from our point of view, it is a strategic error. 

If we want to aim for a higher average ticket, we have to count on the fact that for many clients it is a brake to pay a large amount of money all at once. However, they would feel much more comfortable by paying through smaller installments for a few months, as Aplázame allows to. 

Being aware of all this, we could not stop searching for an option so that, when creating your online store with Oleoshop, you had this feature in the most simple and efficient way. 

To do this, we reached an agreement with Aplázame, which is one of the models in this type of financial solutions. From now on, it is already available and fully integrated into your store. 

You just have to create an account in Aplázame and link it with your eCommerce by configuring four simple parameters. It will not take you more than 15 minutes in total (in fact, I may be exaggerating). 

As you can see in this example of Elephant Props, it is fully integrated as one more option in the product sheet. 

Mainly because it meets the expectations of what was mentioned in the first section of this article: installment payments for our clients in an easy and very transparent way. 

It is easy for you because it is integrated in your store, and easy for buyers who do not need to create any additional account to finance their purchase: they do it without leaving your eCommerce by answering some questions and receiving confirmation in real time.  

It is the transparency of the process and its flexibility what have also influenced our choice of this provider. It is the user who decides with how many installments he would feel comfortable with and what he wants to pay in advance. 

With this information, the system simulates and sets all the calculations clear, with no hidden fees or cost that come out of nowhere. If the client accepts the operation, he will know exactly what has to be paid at all times, and they can even select the day they want the charges to be made to his account. 

Also, there is an interesting option along the same lines we talked above. Customers can buy now and start paying in 15 days. 

Of course, and this is something we work hard on, the experience on mobile devices is perfect. If our stores are mobile first, we could not use a payment method that was not equally adapted to these devices. 

Finally, it is worth highlighting something basic in any formula used to make online payments: data security. Do not worry  about it because Aplázame uses the highest security standards. It even links the operation with a phone number so that the user can sign it using a unique code sent by SMS.  

All we have talked about so far refers to customer, and this is an indirect benefit for you as manager of the store. 

According to data of the businesses that use Aplázame, we know that sales grow remarkably (in some cases up to 50% depending on the eCommerce niche you are working on). 

Not only will there be more orders, the average ticket will also rise because, as we have said, the more payment options are offered and flexibility, the less brakes to purchase customers will find. Keep in mind that Aplázame allows financing operations up to € 2,500. 

Another thing that may be worry about is the issue of payment terms and guarantees. Well, forget about them. Aplázame guarantees you that you will be paid instantly and, what is better, they assume the risk of non-payment. You sell and forget about headaches, that is why Aplázame is working as a financial partner. 

We are very clear that this is a great option to split payments from your online store, so we are very happy to announce this agreement that will make things easier for our stores and their customers.
