Due to the announcement, furniture suppliers will be able to accept payments upon delivery. Customers can pay an initial deposit for their items on the spot when they make their purchase, and then settle the remaining amount upon receipt of the delivery. This is made possible by the combination of an app and an mPOS device, which works in conjunction with mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones.
Wirecard developed the payment app together with Ametras, an international IT and software company, and since July 2016, customers have been able to pay for their furniture purchases at home using the app.
Initially, German customers paid in-app via direct debit, but now also credit card payments via Visa and Mastercard as well as Maestro are possible. In addition to Germany, customers in France, Austria, and Switzerland benefit from the mobile payment solution.
