Monetize Forum Online 2021: Panel Discussion
During Monetize Forum 2021 online, IXOPAY’s Vice President of Sales and Business Development, Adam Vissing, took part on January 21, 2021, in a panel discussion on payment orchestration. He was joined by experts from Optile, Spreedly, Magnius, and WL Payments. It was chaired by Matthijs Koorn of MGI Research. The aim of the panel discussion was to define what payment orchestration is and its place within the world of eCommerce.
All participants agreed that payment orchestration – in its purest form – is a payment agnostic technological layer that pushes transactions to payment service providers and acquirers based on an algorithm and provides reconciliation and settlement services. The payment orchestration platform should have no financial interest in the actual processing of the payment.
The participants also spoke of the perfect storm that was 2020, and why more and more companies are moving towards payment orchestration. From exponential growth of online shopping to the stark warning of Wirecard’s bankruptcy. Because of this increased demand, the experts noted that businesses that had once used an in-house solution were now looking for external providers as they were to keep up and wanted the optimization offered through payment orchestration. There was also an interesting discussion on why different types of businesses use payment orchestration, and it was clear that there is no standard entity, which is why IXOPAY does not over a standard solution but a tailored payment set up.
Watch the panel discussion to find out why your company should switch to payment orchestration.
