BOSTON and NEW
YORK, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Aurus, Inc.,
a leading provider of payment processing solutions, announced a
partnership with Early Warning Services, LLC to integrate a new
online checkout solution Paze SM, into
their payment platform. Wakefern Food Corp., the nation's largest
retailer-owned cooperative, is among the first group of retailers
using the Aurus platform to begin offering their online shoppers
the quick and convenient Paze checkout
option.
Aurus Inc. easily integrates with Paze, a comprehensive and
user-friendly online checkout solution that meets the needs of
consumers when shopping online. Paze combines a customer's eligible
debit and credit cards into a single digital wallet and eliminates
manual card entry, with no third-party app to download. Paze
transactions are tokenized, bringing added security to transactions
because the actual card number is not shared with merchants. Using
an intuitive interface, Paze empowers consumers to navigate the
online checkout process with ease and
convenience.
"With online shopper expectations higher than ever, Paze offers
convenient option purchasing and provides a streamlined checkout
process for eligible customers,'' said Rishi Soni, vice president, Client Relations, at
Aurus, Inc., the unified payments platform provider. "We are
confident that by enabling Paze acceptance for retailers using our
platform, we're continuing to enhance the e-commerce experience
with easy and embedded options to purchase without sacrificing
security or service."
Paze was designed with merchants -- and their consumers -- in
mind, ultimately helping to solve key pain points in e-commerce.
Key features include:
- Simplified checkout: Paze provides an innovative
checkout experience that helps ensure smooth transactions without
the need for manual entry of full card numbers or a Paze username
and password to reduce errors and abandoned shopping carts.
- Access to over 150 million cards with Paze: More than
150 million eligible credit and debit cards from participating
banks and credit unions will be available to transact with Paze-
authorized merchants at the time of general availability
launch.
- Opportunity to join the future of online retail: For
simplified checkouts, Paze offers the quick and convenient online
shopping experience consumers seek, while aiming to help businesses
reduce cart abandonment.
"Paze provides merchants and their customers a better online
checkout experience," said Catherine
Murchie, head of operations, Paze. "By
including Paze as an online checkout option, Wakefern
Food Corp. supermarkets can optimize e-commerce payments and make
online purchases even easier for their customers."
Paze is available as an online checkout option to Wakefern's
supermarket banners, ShopRite and The Fresh Grocer locations, that
collectively serve millions of customers each week throughout
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware and Maryland.
