LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FilmFlex Movies, the online movie service used by Film4oD, has added PayWizard as an online payment mechanism. The first deployment of the PayWizard e-wallet is now live on the Film4oD website.
FilmFlex Movies is the sixth customer to deploy the PayWizard multi-screen payment platform since the beginning of the year. Film4oD customers simply select the films they want to watch, register for a PayWizard account, top up their PayWizard account balance and pay quickly and easily using the PayWizard e-wallet. The e-wallet holds digital versions of credit/debit cards, the current balance, and various personal data. It facilitates continual card authorisation for true 'single-click' purchases and can handle a range of innovative subscription models.
Hayden Punter, Head of Finance at FilmFlex Movies commented: "PayWizard is ideal for our online movie service, which is used by companies such as Film4, because it makes the payment process painless and fast. We also liked PayWizard's flexibility, security and ease of use. Film4oD customers now have the option to pay for movies quickly and easily using the PayWizard e-wallet."
Jamie Mackinlay, Commercial Director at PayWizard, added: "As the provider of a high quality online movie streaming service to some of the UK's best-known brands, FilmFlex Movies wanted to deliver a new type of payment experience that is fast, easy to use and friction-free. The PayWizard e-wallet fits the bill because it supports true single-click purchases and enables FilmFlex Movies' customers to experiment with a range of different payment models in addition to pay-per-movie."
PayWizard supports transactions made on multiple devices, including online, tablets, smart phones, connected TV's and digital set-top boxes.
