OLB Group Simplifies Social Media App Payment Acceptance for Merchants

SecurePay™ Payment Gateway rolls out direct payment processing integrations with leading social media apps including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, TikTok and Skype

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The OLB Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLB), a provider of cloud-based omnicommerce and payment acceptance solutions for small and mid-size merchants, announced its SecurePay payment gateway now provides merchants of every size with seamless payment acceptance through popular social media platforms and lifestyle apps. SecurePay’s direct integration at the payment gateway assures efficient and secure payment processing for customers wishing to make purchases without leaving a favorite app.

Supporting “buy button” features within apps including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, TikTok and Skype, SecurePay securely manages transactions through the appropriate processing channels, returning approval authorization to the seller and buyer through the original app.

“Merchants of every size and business model are connecting and doing business across a multitude of channels, including social media,” said Ronny Yakov, Chief Executive Officer for OLB Group. “Providing the ability to accept payment within social media apps allows greater flexibility to meet customers where they are, while completing transactions simply and safely. Whether the merchant sends a payment link in Instagram or accepts an Apple Pay® payment at a kiosk or in store, SecurePay handles all the backend details, keeping all parties protected and happy.”

SecurePay also provides direct Apple Pay and Google Pay® integration alongside card-based payment processing.
