Your customers can now pay with Bizum on Oleoshop

If we recently told you that Oleoshop had added Aplázame in our payment methods so that your customers could split the payments of their purchases, now it is Bizum's turn. As you know, it is a mobile payment service that has been making its way and gaining popularity among users very quickly. 

Online stores cannot be oblivious to trends because, by doing so, they are losing business opportunities and making it very easy for their competitors. 

We assume that everyone knows Bizum.But, for those who it does not ring a bell yet, we have to say that it is a payment platform that allows payments between individuals from account to account through a mobile phone. 

The mechanics are as simple as sending a message to a contact, so you forget to ask for bank account numbers that, in reality, nobody knows by heart and have to make transfers.Everything happens practically in real time, so we can say that it is one of the most agile payment formulas that can be currently found.

The case of Bizum is something similar to what we have seen with WhatsApp, which, after all, is still a chat for personal conversations, but due to the use that business made of it, it has ended up launching a professional version to cover them.

On paper, it could seem that Bizum is not a means of payment intended for electronic commerce. But nothing could be further from the truth. 

As it happens so many times, products and services people use naturally in their day-to-day life end up adapting to the reality of businesses, and they do not want to miss out on the opportunity they are offered today. 

The truth is that it has some very interesting advantages so as not to value it: 

For some time now, our clients have asked for it. We know you would like to integrate this payment method in your store. Today, we can announce that this option is already available. 

You simply have to request your bank to activate it and, from that moment, you will start receiving payments by using Bizum. 

It is very easy. Imagine that you use Redsys for example. Okay, then contact them so they can arrange all.

When they have done so, customers who want to use Bizum to pay for their online purchases will see that, instead of being asked to enter the card details (cardholder, number, expiration, CVV ...), they will only ask them to enter the associated phone number to their bank account and a password to validate the operation. 

Management is simple and payment takes no more than a few seconds, which greatly streamlines the process and eliminates some conversion obstacles as basic as not having the credit card at hand. 

We always recommend offering several options of payment method. This is the best way to adapt to the needs and preferences of the majority of our clients. 

Simply, the fact of considering payment via Bizum in an online store already projects a feeling of being up-to-date that can help to generate greater trust.
