Created in collaboration with Poste Italiane and based on Nexi’s technology platform, the solution offers Carrefour the guarantee and possibility to manage the interface of the checkout system with the PagoPA node and with Poste Italiane’s system, all through means of a single integration. As per the press release information, this allows the retail chain store to have a simultaneous collection of both postal payment slips and PagoPA notices enabled.
